Apeks’ EVX200 Dive Regulator presents a refined balance of performance and adaptability, aimed principally at cold‑water, technical and serious recreational divers. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the regulator avoids marketing hyperbole and instead focuses squarely on functional design.
The Apeks EVX200 is the replacement for the discontinued XTX200.
To commemorate its 50th year, Apeks has launched a limited edition MTX-RC regulator featuring a luxury PVD coating.
The DSX technical dive computer from Apeks is loaded with cutting-edge features, the manufacturer writes, including sidemount and CCR mode, induction or cable charging and management of up to 6 gasses.

The dump valve knob can get stuck when the recalled BCD is inflated, opening the dump valve which stops the BCD from fully inflating. This can result in a loss of buoyancy control and poses injury (decompression sickness) and drowning hazards.

When an affected BCD is inflated, the grey pull dump knob retracts towards the stitched channel of the jacket. The channel then prevents the knob from further retracting and slightly opens the dump valve. As a result, the BCD cannot be fully inflated, which could lead to a lack of buoyancy control.
It was the year that Air Liquide, along with Jacques Cousteau and Emile Gagnan founded 'La Spirotechnique'. This company conceived, designed and manufactured a range of scuba diving equipment, including some of the first commercially available regulators. Their first modern 'Aqua-Lung' or regulator was the CG45.
