Description

The Apeks MTX-R Sidemount Regulator Kit delivers the ultimate all-in-one package to meet the most demanding tec-divers needs. Including all the necessary equipment and hardware for sidemount diving, the MTX-R Sidemount kit lets you explore the most challenging diving environments with ease.
