Apeks, the UK manufacturer of diving equipment or kit as they call it in Britain, has come out with a new “DIR doubles” regulator.

These look to be the same bullet-proof Apeks regulators but have all the ports on one side and are matched as a left and right pair. With this arrangement, you have your hoses routed in the correct down position.

Kinda of a neat idea, and if I were in the market for new regs, which I’m not, I might consider these for my doubles-only reg set.

The are available for approx 549 euro for the pair. However, I still have no idea why a pair of regulators is called “Tec 3-set”
