Today Apeks is setting another milestone in the company's history with the release of an advanced, wrist-mounted, air-integrated dive computer for advanced open and closed-circuit divers.
Design and Display of the new Apeks DSX Dive Computer
The new Apeks DSX Dive Computer comes in a weight-saving ultralight titanium bezel with a three-button interface left, middle, and right. Pressing different combinations of these buttons will navigate through different menus and options of the DSX. The first thing that attracts attention is the excellent size of the screen. The Apeks DSX Screen is a colour LCD screen with a generous 2.5-inch display diameter with diving info organised in super readable top-to-down information. Starting from the top line section, you have depth and dive data, while the second line feeds no-deco-decompression information with Time To Surface.
Additionally, the display features two handy graphs with Gradient Factor/N2 saturation and a colour-coded ascent rate bar graph. Finally, the bottom lines on the right show the gas mix setting, wireless integration information, and the PO2 reading. All this information on the big 2.4-inch screen makes reading all the data super easy even in low visibility conditions such as night, wreck or cave diving. The screen is integrated with a backlight and ambient light sensor, so there is no need to press the button each time you need to read the computer in low light - the light sensor will automatically activate the backlight when ambient light drops beyond a specific value!
Colour coding on a computer is a precious function. Lining up the DSX computer with other players such as Shearwater - Apeks equipped their unit with colour-coded, vibration and audio-integrated alarms. What does it mean? It means that whenever the values are close or outside the standard expected numbers (e.g. ascending to fast or missed decompression stop), the display will change the colours of numbers shown to yellow or red, vibrate and beep to attract the diver's attention and prompt correction to the dive. This is particularly useful in technical diving when task loading, such as handling multiple tanks, photo/video equipment or cave line laying etc., can distract you from monitoring your dive computer.
Firmware Features of the Apeks DSX Dive Computer
The Apeks DSX Computer uses a well-tested and very popular Buhlmann ZHL-16C algorithm to calculate tissue nitrogen loading. The new Apeks DSX is an excellent tool for single tank diving, extended range and technical diving, including closed circuit rebreather trimix with dedicated modes for gas switching sidemount diving - one instrument to rule them all! Like all the latest advanced dive computers, the Apkes DSX also come with Gradient Factors control to shape that decompression curve to the diver's preferences ascending only with a fraction (factor) of the algorithm's maximum allowed gas saturation values. This is quite a handy feature to adjust decompression profiles to your preference. Air Integration is a powerful feature in rich multi function technical diving computer. The Apeks DSX Dive Computer is fully air integrated and suitable for use with up to 6 transmitters, ideal for sidemount diving or when running multiple bailouts or decompression gases.

Dedicated Apeks O2 Analyser and Charging Mat
One of the key tools in extended range and technical diving. Following the motto Know what you breathe! Testing your gas before the dive is imperative; this is where the DSX Computer package has the edge. The latest Apeks dive computer has a dedicated O2 analyser compatible with R22 O2 cells. A downside is that you need to purchase the cell separately, which increases the cost of the bundle. On the other hand, you can achieve reliable O2 testing with your computer if there are no other analysers available at the remote dive sites.
Finally the Apeks DSX Dive Computer can be charged by supplied interface cable or dedicated induction charging mat with a status LED circle.
