Aqualung Zuma BCD and Apeks Flight Regulator

Collection from Bedfordview or Olivedale area or courier for your own arrangement

Extremely lightweight BCD
• Size ML/LG weighs less than 2 kg (4.4 lbs)
• Great packability – flat or rolled
Weight integration features the SureLock™II (patented) mechanical lock and release mechanism. The weight pockets align themselves. Just insert the pocket until it “clicks”. A simple, single-pull release is all that is needed to jettison the weights in an emergency.
 Innovative tank support system eliminates the need for a hard pack
• Lower tank band aligns with waist band
• A valve strap pulls the top of the cylinder in towards your center of gravity.
This relieves the shoulders and transfers the load to the hips
 Adjustable chest strap
• The two buckles ride on a rail system allowing the strap to be raised or lowered.
 Proprietary flat e-valves mean less bulk

Fold-down, easy-access pocket

Apeks Flight - DIN version

Apeks Flight is lighter than any other comparable regulator made by any other manufacturer in the world.
The 1st stage has an ingenious design which comprises a strong forged solid brass skeletal body surrounded with the perfect jacket material. Due to exceptional engineering it is built to withstand the high pressures of compressed gas and to cope with the tough rigours of diving.
Flight offers impact protection and good abrasion resistance meaning there is a reduced chance of accidental damage.
The 1st stage has 4 medium pressure ports located in-line for hose comfort and the 2 HP ports are radially configured for optimum hose routing and ideal instrument positioning.

Breathe Performance
Apeks Flight offers a silky smooth easy breathe, enhancing the pleasure of your dive. It was never intended that Flight replaces our world beating XTX regulators favoured by many professional and serious sport divers all over the world. Flight is a mid-range regulator ideal for transportation and travel to meet most divers- needs. For the compact size of this regulator the breathe performance is exceptional in all positions and all dive conditions including cold water.

Flight has been tested beyond limits
Over one million breathing cycles prove its robustness and reliability. Rigorous and thorough impact tests have proven Flight beyond the limits any divers would ever experience. Further fatigue testing has been carried out to prove Flight-s capabilities in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +80°C. Flight easily surpasses the requirements outlined by the European Authorities for cold water use (EN250) and is suitable for diving in all waters.

Nitrox Use
As they leave the factory, standard Apeks regulators are suitable for use with oxygen enriched gasses (i.e. Nitrox etc.) providing the oxygen content does not exceed 40%*. For mixtures containing more than 40% the regulators must be professionally converted to oxygen service by an Authorised Apeks Technician through an Authorised Apeks Dealer.
*For regulators purchased within European Community Countries, Apeks must adhere to the European Standards EN 144-3 and EN 13949 which state that any regulators purchased, which are for use with oxygen content of over 21%, must use the special M26 fitting and the standard regulator fittings must not be used with mixes over 21%.

Lightweight Flexible Hose
The Flight hose is manufactured at the Apeks factory.
The hose material itself features an external nylon safety braiding designed to resist snagging and abrasion. The double braiding resists UV rays out of the water, thus extending the life of the hose.
The hose is lightweight and extremely flexible but is also strong with a burst pressure more than twice that of most traditional hoses. It is kink-resistant.
Even if the hose were tied in a knot the gas flow would remain unobstructed.
The unique, secure attachment of the second stage to the hose offers a -no-tool- fitting and a more environmental solution. No tools mean that it is impossible for a technician to over-tighten and damage the fitting as is possible with other hose-nut connections that require tightening with a spanner.
This regulator-s unique hose attachment enables Flight to be as lightweight as it can be and utilises the advanced composite materials used in other areas of the regulator. This reduces the need for brass and
chrome plating in this area of the regulator, which in turn reduces production waste and the need for the treatment of harmful chemicals which are produced from the chrome plating process.
Apeks has always been keen to manufacture in an environmental way due to the nature of our business.
Another world first for Apeks is that we are the only Scuba manufacturing company in the world to have achieved the internationally recognised Environmental Standard ISO 14001. We continually strive to improve whilst looking after our future.
