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.
