Diver Changeable Exhaust System (DCE)
One of the standout features of the XTX200 is the Diver Changeable Exhaust system. It allows you the freedom to switch between a narrow and a wide exhaust tee, depending on your diving needs. If you’re into underwater photography, the wider tee minimises bubble interference, giving you that perfect shot. Alternatively, the narrow tee offers a more compact and comfortable experience. With both sets supplied, you’re in control of your diving adventure.
Optional 5th Port with Integrated Heat Exchanger
An optional 5th port is an added luxury that can make a world of difference in specific scenarios. This is especially beneficial if you’re into technical diving with sidemount or twin cylinder setups. What sets this 5th port apart is its integrated heat exchanger, available on the Tungsten, XTX200, and XTX100 first stages. It ensures optimal thermal performance under cold water conditions.
Convertible Hose Configuration
Say goodbye to the days of sticking to one hose configuration. The XTX200 allows easy transition from right-handed to left-handed hose configurations, a feature not commonly found in regulators. But remember, this is not DIY; only an APEKS Authorised Service Technician can make this change for you.
Braided Flexi-Hoses
The braided flexi-hoses that come standard with this regulator are lighter, more flexible, and durable compared to traditional hoses. They’re designed to make your diving experience as smooth as possible, reducing the overall weight and giving you greater flexibility underwater.
Coldwater Performance
Diving in chilly waters is a whole different ball game, and the XTX200 is well-equipped for it. The regulator can comfortably perform in temperatures below 10°C, giving you the confidence to explore colder underwater worlds.
EAN40 Compatibility
Nitrox divers, rejoice! The XTX200 is compatible with EAN40 straight out of the box, eliminating the need for any additional adjustments or fittings.
FSR Style First Stage
The first stage of the XTX200 features an FSR style with highly polished bright chrome plating. This compact one-piece body is not just a sight to behold but also incredibly durable and robust. It comes with 4 angled medium-pressure ports and 2 angled high-pressure ports for optimal hose routing.
Environmental Dry System
An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber, preventing ice buildup and silt contamination, crucial for those challenging cave dives or icy adventures.
Pneumatically-Balanced Second Stage
The second stage offers smooth, easy breathing thanks to its pneumatically-balanced design. No more laborious breathing efforts as you go deeper—just seamless, effortless inhalation and exhalation.
Additional Safety and Comfort Features
- Large XTX purge buttons for easy operation
- Soft-touch venturi lever for smooth control
- Active protection against infection in all moulded parts
- Silicone exhaust valve for improved breathing
- Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece to eliminate jaw fatigue
- Heat exchanger around the valve mechanism to keep you warm in cold conditions.
With its unmatched features and performance, the Apeks XTX200 Regulator DIN 300Bar is not just an equipment upgrade; it’s an upgrade to your entire diving experience. This is the regulator for divers who refuse to compromise. Are you one of them?
