Crotch Strap
The crotch strap prevents the unit from riding up on the
diver’s torso while in the water. It also has a front mounted
underwater propulsion vehicle “scooter” ring and a 2-inch
accessory D–ring in back.
Chest Strap
The chest strap fits across your sternum and keeps
the two shoulders from slipping to the sides, ensuring
a comfortable and secure fit. The chest strap has the
option of being removed for those divers who find it
unnecessary.
Waistband Grommets
Located alongside each of the waistbands is a set of
accessory mounting grommets. These can be used to
mount a variety of optional accessories such as the
SureLock™ weight system (releasable weight), Trim
pockets (non-releasable weight) or Tek pockets (for
carrying masks, surface markers, etc), which may be
ordered separately from your Authorized Apeks Dealer.
A nut and bolt kit is required for mounting accessories
to the grommets.
Retaining Loops
Below each of the shoulder release buckles, there is an
elastic retainer loop. These loops can be used to retain
excess shoulder webbing or they can be used to retain an
accessory such as a small flashlight. There is also a retainer
loop located on the crotch strap to retain excess webbing.
Epaulets (Hold-downs)
On top of each shoulder are epaulets that hold down
the airway(s). Not only do these epaulets hold down
the airway(s), they are also SOLAS reflector devices for
high visibility. The epaulets are removable and can be
repositioned to a new location based upon your needs.
