The Apeks Exotec BCD is a revolution in diving comfort, functionality and seductive technical design. The ethos behind Exotec is the synthesis of gear and diver. Made to fit like no other BCD and to move with the natural movements of the diver's body through the innovative BioReact design. Built with the usual demanding Apeks build quality, the Exotec is perfect in form and function.

Key Features Exotec

GripTek - fabric keeps the BCD in place both on the surface and underwater. The bladder is made of super strong Armoguard slick skin for increased wear resistance, faster drying and a reduced risk of bacterial growth due to the smooth surface. The G-hook chest strap and tank strap are easy to operate with one hand. 3-position height-adjustable back plate ensures optimal fit and adjustable waist and shoulders. 2 large pockets can be folded flat when not in use to reduce drag.

Wrapture Harness System - Using patented swivel shoulder buckles and a proprietary, ultra-thin back plate, the Wrapture offers unparalleled comfort and stability. Wrapture prevents the BCD from "riding up" on the surface. Out of the water, the Wrapture keeps the cylinder close to your center of gravity and shifts weight to your hips. The result is the ability to stand upright with a cylinder that is perfectly vertical. Due to the multiple size settings at the top of the shoulders and on either side of the waistband, a custom fit can be achieved through one of 3 sizes.

SureLock - mechanical weight release system (patented) - provides secure release with one pull. Inserting weight is so easy to place and "click". With SureLock your weights are safe in the BCD. Once secured, the only way to release the weight is to pull the handle.

4 dump valves in total, one in each corner. Three of them have flat flaps that are very streamlined and effective. The top left dump valve is the quick exhaust valve at the top of the Powerline inflator. The Powerline inflator assembly has one of the fastest inflation rates in the industry. This eco-friendly unit has integrated clamps to hold the LP inflator hose securely in place.
