apeks regulator

<br>I've been thinking about upgrading to an apeks atx50+40 combo.  Can you buy this locally, or at least get it serviced?

Yes you can get it locally.  It's a great combo.  I have the Apeks TX-50 and I like it a lot.  The ATX-50 is the same reg with a smaller second stage.  I bought mine locally at  They are located in Maple Grove.  I'm sure there are other shops that carry Apeks as well because they are distributed in the US by SeaQuest.

<br>I checked with Scuba Center and Going Under.  Pricing was around $600-700 for this combo.  It can be purchased on the net for $350.  I want to support the LDS but it is hard to justify that price difference.  <br><br>

<br><br>That's a common dilemna divers and dive shops are facing and it's becomming a hotter topic all the time. Hopefully a local dive shop will log on here and help explain the benefits in more detail of buying locally.
