Side Expansion Gussets for Additional Lift Capacity

Some models have side expansion gussets that allow the cell to expand and provide additional lift

capacity without increasing the overall size.

Web Restrictor to Keep Cylinder Close to Body

Single cylinder buoyancy cells that have a flow through design at the bottom, also have a unique web

restriction at the bottom of the cell that creates an impression for the cylinder to nest into. This prevents

a fully inflated cell from pushing the cylinder away from your lower back. Mounted on this web restrictor

is a 2" accessory D-ring. This easily accessible D-ring is a great location to attach a surface marker

buoy, lift bag, or back-up scooter.

Lower Left Pull Dump

Each single cylinder buoyancy cell comes standard with a lower left pull dump. This easy-to-reach

dump is convenient when dumping while inverted.

Elliptical Corrugated Hose

The Apeks technical airway found on each cell includes a corrugated hose that has an elliptical cross

section. This allows for a lower profile, which reduces drag and lays cleanly over the shoulder.

Safety Cable in the Airway

A safety cable can be found in the corrugated hose of each Apeks technical airway. This safety cable

protects the corrugated hose from hyper-extension and tearing that can be caused by any undue

stresses such as snags.

Heavy Duty Inflator Brass Buttons

Technical diving equipment must be robust and reliable. Apeks’ new technical inflator exceeds the

challenge. The secret to its reliability is its simplicity. Fewer parts mean less to go wrong and ease of

service. Once you hold the precision marine brass buttons in your hand, you will quickly realize that this

is not a recreational inflator, but rather a serious tool to meet the dive at hand.
