We’re thrilled to announce that LA’s Discount Scuba Center DiveCenter.com is now an authorized platnum level Apeks dealer, bridging one of the world’s top technical dive brands straight from England to Southern California. This means ALL divers can now access high-performance Apeks gear at unbeatable prices—with local support, testing, discounts and service.

What Apeks Brings to Our Shop... Apeks is known for robust, reliable, and technically advanced scuba hardware. As a platinum level authorized dealer, we can now offer you their flagship models at the lowest prices, even below Amazon:

Regulator & First-Stage Options

Some standout Apeks models we are stocking now:

• Apeks EVX200 and EVX Tungsten Regulator Set — engineered for technical diving, with downward-oriented ports and a Diver Changeable Exhaust (DCE) system to tune bubble flow.

• Apeks MTX-R and MTX- RC — overbalanced, diaphragm regulator built for depth and smooth breathing.

• Apeks ATX — lightweight, travel-friendly, yet still delivers strong performance.

• Apeks Ocea (XL4 base) — designed with sustainability in mind, built from recycled materials.

• Apeks XL4+ — compact but powerful, suitable for both recreation and technical use.

These regulators cover from entry-level to full technical diving, so whether you're doing single-­tank reefs or overhead cave work, we’ve got your back.

BCDs & Harness Systems

We’re also stocking top-of-the-line Apeks buoyancy compensators, such as:

• Apeks Exotec BCD — with the Wrapture harness system and swivel shoulder buckles for a more ergonomic, low-profile fit underwater.

Fins for Technical & Advanced Divers

To match the performance gear above, we also carry Apeks fin models favored by technical divers:

• Apeks RK4 Fins — compact, efficient, and ideal for tight spaces and overhead environments.

• Apeks RK3 HD Fins — slightly larger, more powerful fin especially good for deeper dives and heavier gear.

These fins are negative buoyancy (or close to it), strong, and optimized for both upstroke and downstroke in technical contexts.

Why We Can Offer Such Great Prices

• As an authorized (platinum-level) Apeks dealer, we receive favorable wholesale pricing, priority allocations, and special discounts reserved for elite retailers. That margin flexibility allows us to undercut many online competitors without compromising service or warranty.

• We offer a lowest-price guarantee: if you find the same new, in-stock item elsewhere for less, we’ll match and beat it. We believe divers deserve both top gear and fair pricing. DiveCenter

• We build, test, and service gear in house, so every unit you buy is fine-tuned, leak-tested, and ready to dive. We stand behind what we sell.

• You’re not stuck buying unseen gear. In many cases, we let you try equipment in our on-site pool under guidance before making your decision, so you know what fits and performs before purchase.

What Reviews & the Internet Say

• On DiveCenter.com, Eco Dive’s blog emphasizes: “We beat any price — online or otherwise,” and promises that divers can “shop with confidence knowing you're always getting the best deal.” DiveCenter

• DiveCenter.com positions itself as the “Fun Scuba Shop” offering “lowest prices … expert travel … discounted scuba diving gear.”

• Eco Dive Center’s own branding highlights its love for diving, community, and quality instruction, which adds credibility when backing new gear lines. 

Many customers have commented favorably on the staff’s willingness to find the right gear rather than upsell, and the transparency of pricing. That trust is part of why bringing Apeks here matters — divers can walk in and talk to someone who knows technical diving gear, not just push stock.

What LA Should Be Excited About

• Technical and recreational divers alike can now get top-tier Apeks gear (regs, BCDs, fins) without crossing borders.

• The combination of local support, warranty servicing, price guarantees, and trial options is rare in the dive world — especially for specialty technical gear.

• This enables Eco Dive / LA’s Discount Scuba Center to become a one-stop hub for serious divers — training, gear, service, and community together.
