Mikron Regulator Aqua Lung has once again raised the bar on regulator design with the release of Mikron – the smallest and lightest weight regulator on the market today. Weighing in at just 26 oz. (din) and 31 oz. (yoke), the traveling diver will benefit tremendously. Even more amazing is that performance is not sacrificed by the extreme compactness of the regulator. Its balanced first and second stages produce exceptional breathing performance.
Legend LX ACD The Legend LX is Aqua Lung’s premier regulator. It offers the best performance and the most features. Beginning in early 2008, the Legend series of regulators will undergo a restyling! All models will sport bright chrome accents and a new front cover design. First Stage: • Auto-Closure Device (ACD) (pat. pend.
Legend ACD / Legend ACD Supreme The Legend is a more affordable way to own high-performance. It’s for the discriminating diver who wants performance but would rather not use a breathing control adjustment knob. Like its cousin, the Legend LX, it now boasts an auto-closure device (ACD). First Stage: • Auto-Closure Device (ACD) (pat. pend.
Kronos Regulator The Kronos offers innovative solutions to common frustrations found on traditional regulators. At first glance, you’ll notice the asymmetric Side-X exhaust system that gets the bubbles out of your field of view. In addition, fine-tuning is simplified by combining the venturi control with the breathing resistance knob into one Dual Cam controller. • New asymmetrical Side-X exhaust system (pat. pend.

Airsource 3 The Airsource 3 combines a high-performance second stage with a power inflator. By eliminating the need for a traditional octopus, the diver can streamline his entire system. In addition, unlike a traditional octopus that can drag in the sand or damage coral, you’ll take comfort knowing that the Airsource 3 is right in front of you ready to deliver life saving air in a moment’s notice.
Legend Octopus • Mid-size octopus to complete Legend LX, Legend & Titan LX regulators • This pneumatically balanced octopus is ideally suited for an over-balanced Legend first stage • The diver has full control of the venturi by means of a lever so as to prevent accidental freeflow when the octopus is not being used • The excellent cold water performance of this octopus is due to the highly efficient heat exchanger on the second stage • High visibility 39” yellow hose and high visibility yellow cover Legen
Kronos Octopus • New asymmetrical Side-X exhaust system (pat. pend.) routes bubbles out of your viewing area • Exhaled breath passes over the second stage valve effectively warming it, thereby making it resistant to freezing • The venturi control and breathing resistance knob have been integrated into one Dual Cam controller (pat. pend.).
Status An Electronic Regulator with Liquid Crystal Display STATUS…… REASSURANCE THAT YOUR REGULATOR IS AT ITS OPTIMUM Safety First…. Safety is of paramount importance to Apeks. The Status electronic first stage gives divers the option, for the first time ever, to visually check the condition of the first stage of the regulator using an integrated LCD display before actually commencing a dive. A correct medium pressure is essential if your regulator is to perform as it should.
XTX200 Status The XTX200 STATUS also offers the following quality features: • Over-balanced, diaphragm first stage with a pneumatically balanced second stage • Environmental Dry Seal Technology keeps water out of the first stage and provides excellent coldwater capability • Reversible second stage allows for right handed or left-handed configuration • Diver Changeable Exhaust System (DCE) Two sets of exhaust tees included • Tactile and audible ratcheting Venturi lever mechanism • Patented Comfo-bite™ mouthp
Tungsten XTX with Hose Swivel The XTX Tungsten is built upon the XTX200 platform but with a truly unique, added feature: it is protected with a hard, durable PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish. This “tough as nails” finish is better than traditional chrome plating. The coating is made of high quality grades of Titanium, Zirconium and Chromium. The result is not only rich, but protects your investment from normal diving abuse. • Comes standard with Apeks’ new swivel hose.
XTX200 The XTX200 is the flagship of the Apeks’ fleet of fine regulators.
