Introducing the innovative APEKS Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE), revolutionizing the way divers experience their underwater adventures. With the ability to easily switch between a small exhaust tee and a large exhaust tee, divers now have the power to customize their regulator for optimal performance. Capture stunning underwater photos with minimal bubble interference by choosing the wider exhaust tee, or opt for a smaller, more compact regulator with the narrow exhaust tee. The regulator comes equipped with both sets of exhaust tees, ensuring versatility for every dive.
For those seeking even more functionality, an optional 5th port is available with an integrated heat exchanger on select models. This feature enhances performance and provides added comfort in varying diving conditions. Experience ultimate convenience with the ability to convert the regulator from a right-handed hose configuration to a left-handed one. This process is quick and simple, but should only be done by an APEKS Authorized Service Technician to ensure safety and precision.
Choose between yoke or DIN configuration to suit your preferences, and enjoy the benefits of braided flexi-hoses that are standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible, and incredibly durable for years of reliable use. Designed for Coldwater diving below 10°C (50°F), this regulator is built to withstand the most challenging conditions. Additionally, it is compatible with EAN40 out of the box, providing flexibility for divers using enriched air mixes. Elevate your diving experience with the APEKS DCE regulator, the ultimate choice for performance, comfort, and innovation in every dive. Trust in the leading technology of APEKS for a seamless and enjoyable underwater adventure.
