The Apeks DSX dive computer is fully loaded with the cutting edge features that technical divers expect, including sidemount and CCR modes, induction or cable charging and management of up to six breathing gasses (air, oxygen, nitrox, and trimix.) Apeks DSX also supports up to six optional wireless transmitters to display the cylinder gas pressures without the use of hoses.

The DSX base price does not include tank pressure transmitters because the consumer may already own one or more compatible transmitters. You may include transmitters during purchase or add them at a later time.

Dive Gear Express ships your Apeks DSX dive computer to you with the current firmware, charged and ready to dive as soon as the DSX is registered using the free Diverlog+ mobile app.

The Apeks DSX Technical Dive Computer is fully loaded with cutting edge features, including sidemount and CCR modes, induction or cable charging and management of up to six breathing gases (air, oxygen, nitrox, and trimix.) The DSX as supports up to six (6) optional MH-8A compatible wireless transmitters. Included modes are open-circuit (sport and technical modes), close-circuit rebreather constant setpoint mode (CCR), sidemount mode with gas switch notification, and gauge mode. The DSX alerts the diver of important information during a dive via both audible and vibrating alarms. The GPS function can log entry and exit points as well as offering a wayfinder feature to guide you to a specific point. An oxygen analyzer accessory is included with the DSX. (A standard R-22D type sensor is required to use the analyzer but is not included in the base price.) The outer bezel is titanium to save weight and ensure maximum durability. There are two different wrist strap options included: use either elastic double straps with slide-release buckles or a built-in bungee mount. The DSX comes in a zippered travel case.

The Apeks DSX Technical Dive Computer has a 3-stainless-steel button design to navigate through the menus. The 2.4" (61mm) color TFT LCD display includes an integrated backlight for easy readability in all diving conditions. The computer housing is made from an impact resistant plastic with a durable polycarbonate lens and protected with a titanium lens keeper. The lens is protected with a factory installed film for additional durability. The computer is powered by an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a traditional cable charge system for fast charging. The DSX also supports induction charging using the included wireless charging mat. If inductively charging, Apeks recommends using the supplied charging mat, however the DSX can also be charged by mats that support the Qi wireless-charging standard (which includes the latest iPhones and many Android phones).

The DSX has a maximum depth rating of {330 fsw | 100 msw} with altitude compensation up to {14,000 ft | 4,270 m}. The decompression algorithm is Bühlmann ZHL-16C with user selectable Gradient Factors or easy to use sport default pre-sets for conservancy. Other features include battery power indicator, temperature above and below the surface, dive planner function, time to surface information, no fly indication, slate function, manual or water activation.

The Apeks DSX Technical Wrist Computer has a 32-bit ST Micro CPU and and is Bluetooth 5.0 compatible. Navigation while diving is made easy with the onboard 3D digital compass and on the surface with the built-in GPS. Downloading computer information is easy with DiverLog+ app for iOS and Android via Bluetooth. With this free app, users can save dive log information from their computer to their phone or tablet, as well as change dive computer settings and install firmware updates.

R-22 Oxygen Sensors - 'D' type vs 'S' type

The R-22 oxygen sensors are all characterized by the same physical dimensions, electrical characteristics and 3-pin Molex connector. The primary difference between the "S" type sensor and the "D" type sensor is the presence of a hydrophobic membrane on the face of the diving grade sensor. The membrane improves resistance to moisture, but slows the response of the sensor to changes in oxygen partial pressures by several seconds.

In practice, for use in diving gas analyzer applications the slightly slower response time of diving grade sensors is little consequence with the benefit being the design is more resistant to moisture found on the face of tank valves. If the diver or fill station operator fails to wipe or blow away any moisture present on the valve outlet, that moisture can enter the stream of gas being analyzed and affect the accuracy of the analysis.

Some prefer to use the D type sensors even in analyzers because of their resistance to moisture, others prefer the S type sensors for their slightly faster response time in analyzers - especially in frequent use applications.

Dive Gear Express offers both types:

  • Analytical Industries brand ADI-PSR-11-39-MD (R-22D type diving grade)
  • Analytical Industries brand ADI-PSR-11-39-MNB (R-22S type for analyzers only)
  • Divesoft brand DS-3001 (R-22S type for analyzers only)
  • Mares rEvo brand CR22D (R-22D type diving grade)
  • Poseidon brand 6010-206 (R-22D type diving grade)

Both types will work in gas analyzers but the S type must never be used in rebreathers.
