About Apeks WTX (Public Safety Diver) Single Cylinder Wings

The WTX and WTX-D Series is a selection of harnesses, buoyancy cells and accessories which offer unparalleled versatility due to the modular nature of the entire system. Each component can be configured into a highly technical rig for those trained to push the limits, or scaled down to make a travel friendly set up suitable for any diver. Single cylinder wings, often referred to as donuts, are oval shaped air cells or bladders that are not permanently attached to a harness. While single cylinder wings have their origins in the realm of technical diving, they are becoming very popular in the recreational community. Not only are these single cylinder wings streamlined, but due to their shape being a continuous loop, they are very stable underwater. There is no dramatic shift of air from left to right.

APEXS single cylinder wings are a smart design that allows a cylinder to nest deep inside them. These wings mate up nicely to the rest of the APEXS WTX collection of high-quality harnesses, plates and accessories. They can be configured in multiple ways to match the type of diving that you do. As with the rest of the WTX collection, these single cylinder wings are built from the finest quality materials. They are designed by APEXS and built in their own factory. Wing comes with a K-style inflator equipped with brass buttons and a 3/8" threaded quick-disconnect hose. The corrugated inflator hoses measures 16" or 18" (40.64cm or 45.7cm) and is an oval or round-shaped low-profile design depending on the wings lift capacity. A safety cable in the hose prevents hyper-extension while diving. Inflator is positioned on the off-center so as not to interfere with the regulator first stage.

For managing buoyancy trim the wing has a low-profile flat dump/overpressure relief valve positioned in front, lower-left side. High-efficiency drains to drain water quickly, central mesh panel + 2 grommet. Access zipper is located on front side to prevent abrasion from cylinders and tank bands. The APEKS WTX PSD (Public Safety Diver) Wing's exterior is made from ARMORGUARD which is more abrasive resistant then the standard 1000D Armor-Shield Cordura. The outer bag is faster drying and whenit doesn't get rinsed, it won't smell or pick up bacterial growth. Internally the wing comes with the inner bladder manufactured from 22ml. (.022") thick black urethane. The zipper bladder access closure is a heavy duty YKK #10 plastic zip and slide. Donut has tank stabilizer bars for added cylinder stability. Wing comes in an 18, 30 and 40 lbs. (8.16, 13.6 and 18.2 kg) lift capacity.
