 Stephen, thanks for the heads up, will be wary, didn't know that. Alan

 Hi Alan,Make sure you check the cylinder connection on the first stage if you start to go down the official "nitrox version" path.  Being in NZ you are almost certainly going to want a standard "DIN" connection.  There are some European standards and conventions which see a different connection (M26) used for high-oxygen diving mixes, which the official Apeks nitrox versions are likely to be.  

Ie. you probably want an O2-clean standard version rather than the nitrox version of the DS4.  Worth double checking the cylinder connection before purchasing.

Cheers,Steve

 Emile, the DS4 looks good; I see they have a nitrox version that is suitable for 100% O2 (DIN only). Alan

Alan,

  

For now I have the best results with Apeks DS4 regulators. They don’t freeze either. I was asking for a possible mission to 400 M

Emile, 

I would think the only limitation would be the pressure in your tank. Below 6000ft with a bottle filled to 3000psi, nothing would come out of it anyway. 

Lots of different first stage designs; maybe find a diagram of your particular model and study it to be sure! 

What are you thinking of using it for? 

Alan

Hi,

 

Anyone knows till how deep you can use a first stage (Apeks) regulator?
