Built around the diver
Apeks equipment is better when the whole system works together.
Apeks is known for robust scuba regulators, cold-water performance and equipment that crosses comfortably from recreational diving into more demanding technical configurations. But choosing the right components is only part of the job.
At the ScubaDiving Gear Store TecLAB in Whitefield, Manchester, we can help build an Apeks setup around how you actually dive — from a first high-performance regulator set to long-hose backmount, twinset and sidemount configurations.

Why choose Apeks?
Technical roots. Useful across far more than technical diving.
Cold-water capability
Apeks has built much of its regulator reputation around dependable performance in demanding and cold-water environments — highly relevant to UK divers.
Configuration flexibility
The range includes regulator components and complete systems suitable for conventional recreational layouts through to twinset, stage and sidemount configurations.
Serviceable, long-term equipment
For divers buying equipment to keep rather than replace every season, access to servicing, spares and competent setup support matters as much as the initial specification.
