Apeks MTX-R Regulator
The MTX-R is based on the MTX, a regulator that was developed in accordance with the United States Navy Experimental Dive Unit extreme cold water test. Innovations in design mean that the MTX-R regulator performs in almost freezing water at a depth of over 60 metres, something that very few other regulators on the consumer market can boast.
With an innovative first-stage design that helps to prevent ice build-up around the diaphragm, the MTX-R is reliable, rugged, and expedition-ready.
