Apeks DST First Stage Regulator with 5th Port

Apeks DST First Stage Regulator with 5th Port offers all the standard Apeks DST First Stage features. However, it adds a 5th medium pressure port. This port sits on top of the rotating turret. Consequently, it's perfect for various sidemount setups. These include stage bottles, CCR bailout, and sidemount configurations.

This end-port on the Apeks DST First Stage allows flexible hose routing. Attach any length dry suit or wing LP hose. Directly connect to your kit. Meanwhile, the other four medium ports remain available. Use them for other essential hoses.

Furthermore, the DST uses a diaphragm to control gas flow. This is instead of a piston. Therefore, it is considered more durable and reliable in cold water. Additionally, the DST 1st stage has an environmentally sealed dry chamber. This, in turn, prevents water from contacting the spring. Ultimately, this helps prevent freezing.

In summary, much like the Apeks DS4, the Apeks DST First Stage with 5th port regulator is a reliable workhorse. Furthermore, it has many additional features. Moreover, it also comes at a great price point. Consequently, the DST is well-respected in technical and sidemount diving. Indeed, it is often a first-choice regulator. This is especially true for stage bottles and sidemount.
