Are there exclusive color scuba equipment in different countries?

@sampotter333
Thank you for the thorough review! There is a reviewer from Japan whose review alternates between showing the second stages with mint and yellow mouthpieces and plain black. The colorful mouthpieces that match the regulators look really nice, and more interesting than black. Do the extra mint and yellow mouthpieces come in the box? If not, can they be ordered from Apeks?
And do the hoses to the second stages have any kind of swivel? If not, is there an adaptor you recommend to reduce jaw fatigue?
Thanks!

Mark Newman

I’ve been scuba diving my entire professional career in both beautiful crystal clear waters of the Tropics to the not-so clear waters around the world. Diving up in the Arctic Circle and marine conservation work down in remote Madagascar. As a full-time scuba Instructor I taught divers in both warm and cold waters and lead countless dives.

But, my main specialty is dive equipment. Since 2010 I’ve been working with a wide range of scuba diving brands and 8 years working for one of the largest scuba diving retailers with hands-on experience with cutting edge dive equipment.

#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?

What's The Point of Independent Twins? #askmark

@nickthomas4567
#askmark if using a transmitter do you still need a spg? I do on my main, but not currently on my stage, a transmitter only, it’s a new setup so after a little advice. Thanks Nick

Mark, I like your content but the intro music and jingles need to go… 😀

Maybe you’re right, I’ll think about cutting them out

TBH I quite like the Intro Jingle. It is nice, simple and short. One of the few Intros I like.

#ASKMARK Speaking of comfobite mouthpiece, has anyone else noticed that they seem to reduce dry mouth? The bridge that fits behind your front teeth seems to promote saliva production and avoid “cottonmouth” while diving. Or is it just me?

I’ve never thought about it TBH. I always thought the main benefit was to reduce jaw fatigue but, maybe it also has an added benefit.
I’ll play about with different mouthpieces and see if I notice a difference

And now apparently Apeks have discontinued the regular Apeks RK3 in orange.
Orange is now exclusive to the Apeks RK3 HD.
