The DGX Gears XTRA is not manufactured or supplied by ScubaPro. The DGX Gears D6 is not manufactured or supplied by Apeks. Although their designs may appear similar, the DGX Gears regulator periodic service parts kits are not compatible with ScubaPro or Apeks.

The DGX Gears regulators appeal to the same target demographic of the diver looking for a top-shelf performance regulator. Like the ScubaPro, the DGX Gears XTRA has a balanced piston type first stage with a balanced diaphragm downstream type second stage. Like the Apeks, the DGX Gears D6 has a balanced diaphragm type first stage with a balanced diaphragm downstream type second stage. The DGX Gears regulators are priced a third less than comparable top-shelf regulators making them an excellent value.

Further, Dive Gear Express believes the consumer has the "right-to-repair" and our policy is to make all DGX Gears regulator service parts and kits individually available for purchase without restriction, along with the complete service manuals plus educational maintenance videos published on our website.
