Review Summary

2024-08-18T14:04:32

Rated 2 out of 5

Wasn't ready to dive without some tweaking.

Received this along with the APEKS XL4 Ocean Regulator. After putting it together and attaching it to a tank, there was a free-flow on this octo, even with the Ventrilo switch engaged to "pre-dive or surface". I took it and the regulator to my local dive shop, who services APEKS and he said that the octo AND the 1st stage both needed adjusting with the intermediate pressure. This was a little disappointing because these were brand new and I would have thought that would have been done from the manufacturer. I also recently purchased an APEKS regulator/octo - MTX-RC and did not experience the free-flow on set-up but there was a slight free-flow trying it out at a swimming pool, so I will also be taking that one in to the shop as well. I was a ScubaPro guy before and was trying to upgrade from the intro regs we got seven years ago and heard some great things about APEKS. I'm not so sure I made a good decision.
