Apeks DST Swivel First Stage

The Apeks DST is a unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the intermediate pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient resulting in superb performance at extreme depths. The polished chrome plated body has two standard high pressure 7/16-inch fixed position ports plus four standard high-flow low pressure 3/8-inch ports mounted on a swivel turret. An optional 5th port upgrade kit is available. An environmental seal keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out. The DST comes standard with a DIN connector and is Nitrox Ready.

When purchased separately, individual regulator stages remain as factory configured by the manufacturer and final integration must, out of necessity, become a customer responsibility. Please note that when this 1st stage is sold "raw" as received from the factory and not part of a package, it will have three of the four LP ports plugged (i.e. one LP port will be open with a plastic dust cap) and the two HP ports will also be plugged.
