Apeks DS4 First Stage: High-Performance & Durable
Divers of all levels favor the Apeks DS4 First Stage regulator. It works well for single tanks, twinsets, and stage bottles. This regulator is known for its durability, performance, and ease of use. Divers consider it "bombproof," even on deep dives.
The DS4 boasts an over-balanced design. Intermediate pressure increases more than ambient pressure as you descend. This provides a smoother breathing experience at depth. A diaphragm controls the gas flow, not a piston. This design is durable and reliable, especially in cold water.
The DS4 1st stage features an environmentally sealed dry chamber. This prevents water contact with the first stage spring, preventing freezing. The Apeks DS4 1st Stage is a reliable workhorse.
Apeks DS4 First Stage regulator has four intermediate-pressure ports and one high-pressure port. This well-respected regulator is a great choice. It offers high quality and long-lasting performance without a high price. While Apeks makes DS4s in DIN and Yoke configurations, we stock the more reliable DIN versions.

Diaphragm-type design: Ensures durability and cold-water performance.
