hi Colin, i have a few bovs but on my divematics i have a apex ATX200,
when i got it it was fitted already, but i have been very glad i had a good reg after a stuck open solenoid at depth,
it is a little big but it doesn't really bother me,
go for the best reg you can afford.
kind regards john routley

Best of luck. I still haven't had a response from Divematics about buying an adapter to fit one.

So, am now in the hands of Mr Narked@90!

In a similar thread, I came down on staying with my Apeks ATX50 because a) it's Apeks and everyone over here rates them, b) it's quite small, c) I already own one so just need an adapter from N@90. I think the size will be the same as others in the ATX range so can add a higher model later if I need to.

If I wanted to buy a reg specially for this I'd be asking people how they get on with the XTX series as it's smaller and can fit both ways round.

Other people also rated the Poseidons, Scubapro and Mares Abyss.

HTH - do a search for the thread. BTW, people will always say theirs is best, which is natural. Find someone who uses both for a proper opinion!

If your thinking Apeks go for the XTX40 maybe the 50 if you want the twiddly knob. I have yet to find a major difference betweent the 40, 50 etx aprt from the obvious knob. If anyone does know what differences there are I'd like to know.

Errrrrrr before you chose this reg have a word with Andyp He switched all his Apex regs for the very very expensive Extreems and now he has got rid of them and gone back to Apex.

Personaly i miss the extreems as the bang when they were gassed up made most of the divers leep off the boat thus freeing up bench space and Andyp taught me how to sware in several languages having run out of suitable english expleetives to discribe them as they exploded for the umptenth time.
