Apeks MTX-RC Regulator Review
#ScubaDiving #Scuba #ScubaGear

***** THANK YOU FOR WATCHING *****

@dekkerlundquist5938
#ASKMARK Hello Mark, while out diving recently I talked to an experienced diver who was diving with twins but did not have any manifold on them, i.e. each cylinder had a first stage with a primary and an SPG. One cylinder had the low pressure inflator for his BC. What are the pros and cons of a manifold setup versus independent twins?

Seems the Gremlins got into the works and the intro sound is missing. We decided not to take the video down, so please skip to the main content.

What do you recommend between MTX or aqualung legend elite if price wasn’t a factor

Despite being designed for cold water would there be any disadvantage using this set in warm water?

Id love to buy these but anything not scubapro is so difficult to get serviced around these parts.

Hi guys,,

I’m in the market for a regulator and I’m really torn between Apeks MTX-RC and ScubaPro MK25 A700,, money is no problem

1- What would you recommend and why?
2- Do you know the WOB ( work of breathing) for each one?

Best

It really is down to personal choice. Both those regulators are very good units, I have dived on them both extensively. I prefer the ComfoBite mouthpiece on the Apeks, although Scubapro mouthpieces are better now than they were in the past. It is also worth looking at what the availability of parts/servicing is in your area for both, as that might be a deciding factor. Ref the WOB of both, Google will be your friend for that info…

@Scuba Diver Magazine Someone I asked said
“Within Rec diving 40m, the MK25 A700/S600 is better, however, for deeper tech dives the MTX-RC is better”

From your experience, is that true?

Or there will be no noticeable difference between them within recreational diving (40m)?!

Regarding WOB, I couldn’t find any for MTX-RC.
I even emailed Apeks couple of days ago, but I got no response!

Im still wondering if I should trade my Mk25evo/a700 combo for an mtx-rc combo. I mostly dive coldwater but never had issues with my scubapro

Ok i just bought it, now I will use my scubapro for teaching and the Mtx-rc for private dives with doubles

@ASIM SG I love them both, the breathing form the mtx-rc is much better than the scubapro tho.

From your experience/knowledge is that true?

And regarding the better breathing, at what depth you experience that?

@ASIM SG it really depends on the water you are diving in. They both are great regulators. I just have experience up to 40-50m with both and they do equally well. The mtx-rc just breaths better at any depth in my opinion.
