The Poseidon Regulator Configurator is designed to help divers, dealers, and distributors identify the right regulator configuration based on how the diver will actually use the equipment. Instead of starting with standardized kits that may later need to be modified, the configurator guides the customer toward a setup that is tailored to their diving needs from the beginning.

Cressi’s Da Vinci is a wide-screen dive computer intended for recreational divers who want a clearly presented display with scope for more advanced nitrox diving. Its 1.54-inch full-colour TFT LCD uses large, colour-coded figures, while a two-button interface is designed for operation with gloves.

Divevolk SeaTouch 6 Pro

Full-touchscreen smartphone housing rated to 60 metres

Divevolk has introduced the SeaTouch 6 Pro, the sixth generation of its underwater smartphone housing, designed to give divers access to a phone’s touchscreen rather than limiting operation to physical housing controls.

The housing uses the company’s flexible touchscreen membrane, which Divevolk says allows users to tap, swipe and operate native camera functions and third-party applications underwater with bare fingers. It is rated to 60m under the IPX8 standard and uses a button-free construction with a three-layer sealing system.

Apeks Recalls XL4, XL4+ and Ocea Regulators

A manufacturing defect in certain Apeks second stages can restrict breathing-gas flow at depth. Divers with affected regulators are being told to stop using them immediately.

Apex Safety Recall
Equipment

Apeks has recalled certain XL4, XL4+ and Ocea regulator second stages after a manufacturing defect was found that could restrict the supply of breathing gas at depth.

The UK's Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has classified the issue as presenting a serious risk of asphyxiation. The recall affects regulators with serial numbers 250402212 to 260402893, manufactured between April 2025 and April 2026.

Seacam OPP: Rethinking the Underwater Dome Port

Seacam’s Optical Precision Port uses corrective optics to address some longstanding limitations of rectilinear wide-angle lenses underwater.

One persistent compromise in underwater photography is that an excellent lens on land does not necessarily remain excellent underwater.

The problem is particularly apparent with rectilinear wide-angle lenses. Place one behind a conventional dome port and the interaction between water, glass and air can introduce corner softness, chromatic aberration and field curvature. Photographers have learnt to work around these limitations with large domes, carefully selected extension rings and smaller apertures.

Developed in partnership with Synchron, the watch draws inspiration from vintage tool watch aesthetics while including modern materials and construction.

The case is built in stainless steel with a pronounced cushion-shaped profile typical of dive watches of the 1970s. A unidirectional rotating bezel and high contrast dial layout prioritise underwater readability, with luminous hands and markers designed for dim-light conditions. The watch is water-resistant to professional diving depths and features a screw-down crown and a robust case construction.
