Apeks
Apeks is a scuba equipment manufacturer based in England that has been manufacturing dive equipment for about thirty five years.
This company is known primarily for their excellent regulators. These regulators have seen more than their fair share of world record deep dives and Apeks’ reputation for high quality regulators have attracted more than a few suitors.
Apeks was founded by Ken Ainscough and Eric Partington. Both men were avid divers and Ainscough used his engineering background to establish Apeks as one of the premier producers of high quality regulators.
Apeks is trusted by some of the world’s most hard-core divers. In fact, John Bennett was the first man ever to dive below 1,000 feet (300 m) and he got there using an Apex regulator. Bennett crossed the 1,000 foot mark while breathing the Apeks TX100.
Another deep diver, Bjarte Vestol, uses Apeks regulators while diving some of the coldest waters in the world. The regulators still breathe well in temperatures just above the point of freezing.
