APEKS XTX50 2ND STAGE ONLY
PRODUCT DETAILS
Smooth Breathing. Smart Control. Unshakeable Backup Potential.
The Apeks XTX50 Second Stage Regulator delivers award-winning breathing performance in a compact, feature-rich design trusted by recreational and technical divers alike. Engineered here in the United Kingdom, it's built to be dependable in temperate seas, training quarries and anywhere dive conditions shift faster than your plans do.
Balanced for effortless inhalation
Pneumatically-balanced inhale mechanics reduce breathing resistance, providing a clean, natural airflow across the dive profile. Every breath feels lighter, smoother and more composed — whether you're exploring wreck lines or stabilising buoyancy in open water.
Purge with precision when performing tasks
The large purge button uses a 2-stage progressive system — press the outer edge for controlled, lower-flow gas delivery during surface tasks like filling bags or buoyancy systems, then push the centre for full-power clearing when it's time to reset and descend again. Control when you need it, power when you want it.
Mid-dive airflow control that works in gloves
A generously-sized venturi lever with a soft rubber grip stays tactile and easy to locate, even in silty water or cold-numb conditions. The opening-effort control knob lets you fine-tune cracking pressure, managing how easily the valve opens on inhalation — giving you total command over your breathing feel and performance.
Winter-friendly thermal stability
A patented heat exchanger surrounds the valve mechanism, diffusing the cold of gas expansion while reclaiming warmth from surrounding water. The result is improved cold-layer reliability and greater breathing comfort — especially appreciated in colder northern dive regions like the North Sea.
Comfort and resilience as standard
Reversible feed orientation allows tidy left- or right-hand hose routing for clean configurations. The silicone exhaust valve improves exhale efficiency, while the Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece dramatically reduces jaw fatigue, helping you dive longer and donate gas cleaner when training rescue protocols with a buddy.
Cleaner internals. Kinder footprint. Real longevity.
Moulded components include active antimicrobial additives that defend against infection-causing bacteria like MRSA. Trivalent chrome plating uses less manufacturing energy and offers strong corrosion resistance. Even the packaging reflects dive-for-years thinking — avoiding single-use plastics and unnecessary waste.
