WTX-D30 Single Cylinder Wing by Apeks
Apeks WTX-D30 Single Cylinder Wing: Streamlined Buoyancy for the Modern Diver
The days of bulky, unstable buoyancy devices are over. The Apeks WTX-D30 brings the precision of technical diving equipment to the recreational single-tank diver. This "donut" style wing features a continuous oval loop design. Unlike traditional horseshoe wings that can trap air on one side, this shape allows gas to flow freely around the bladder. This keeps you perfectly balanced underwater, preventing that annoying "taco effect" where you feel like you are tipping over.
Hugs Your Tank, Cuts the Drag
Apeks engineered this wing to sit tight against your gear. The smart design allows your cylinder to nest deep inside the wing, creating an incredibly low profile. This reduces drag as you swim and keeps your setup compact. To ensure everything stays locked in place, built-in tank stabilizer bars prevent your cylinder from shifting or wobbling during the dive.
Built for Abuse
Diving environments can be rough on gear, so Apeks built the WTX-D30 to take a beating. The exterior shell is made from 1000D Armorshield Cordura, a fabric tough enough to withstand scrapes against wreck edges or boat decks. Inside, a thick 22 mil (.022 inch) black urethane air cell holds the air securely. When you need to rinse the salt out or perform maintenance, a heavy-duty YKK #10 plastic zipper gives you easy access to the internal bladder.
Control at Your Fingertips
Buoyancy control should be intuitive. The K-style inflator is rugged, featuring brass buttons and a safety cable to prevent hose hyper-extension. Apeks positioned the inflator off-center to ensure the hose doesn't interfere with your first stage regulator, keeping your hose routing clean and efficient. For venting gas, the low-profile dump valve is located on the lower-left side, making it easy to reach when you need to dump air quickly.
Versatile Configuration
With 30 lbs (13.6 kg) of lift, this wing is ideal for a wide range of single-tank diving scenarios. It mates perfectly with the Apeks WTX harness and plate collection, allowing you to build a rig that fits your specific needs. For those who want an even tighter profile, the wing accepts an optional Retractor Kit (P/N: 388300) to pull the bladder in when deflated.

Proposition 65
Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 – Warnings Required
WARNING: This Dive Right In Scuba product can expose you to certain chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
We appreciate your decision to purchase Dive Right In Scuba products to provide the best in water experience. We take our job seriously! You may have noticed that our products now show a warning label at point of sale referring to carcinogens and birth defects. You may also have begun to see warnings related to carcinogenic substances or substances causing birth defects prominently displayed in hotel lobbies, hospitals, or other places of business recently. These warnings are required by the State of California, and we believe that an explanation of the California statute legislating the requirement will provide you valuable information regarding the relative risks of the chemicals that may be present in consumer products.
In 1986, the State of California passed the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act; otherwise known as “Proposition 65” or "Prop 65". Prop 65 requires businesses like ours to disclose to individuals the presence of chemicals listed in the Act prior to point of sale. The regulations implementing this Act have been amended over time with the most recent updates will take effect on August 30, 2018. There are more than 900 chemicals on the Prop 65 Chemical List, including many chemicals that are found in components of a wide array of consumer goods or are used to manufacture components that make up consumer goods.
Prop 65 does not establish acceptable concentrations for any listed chemical; however, the agency which enforces it has established what is called "safe harbor" exposure levels for about one third of these chemicals below which warnings are not required. These "safe harbor" are established for listed carcinogens based on the quantity of the chemical that would result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000, assuming lifetime (70-year) exposure at the level in question. A similar process is used to establish safe harbor levels for listed reproductive toxicants. Additional information in plain language on safe harbor levels is available from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at http://oehha.ca.gov/Prop65/background/p65plain.html
At Dive Right In Scuba, the safety of your in water experience is our highest priority. We go to great effort to select materials that offer superior value, quality, and durability while also being generally recognized as safe and reliable for the full life of the product. Dive Right In Scuba also works closely with many regulatory bodies, such as the US Coast Guard and Underwriter’s Laboratories, to ensure the longevity of your on-water safety through targeted selection of durable, long lasting materials and components that undergo significant validation testing before being used to manufacture end items. Sometimes the safety promise we offer appears at odds with the health and safety requirements of other legislation in certain parts of the world when some regulations are updated ahead of others. To ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements, Dive Right In Scuba has placed a warning on products that contain a Prop 65 listed chemical, either directly or as a part of the raw material supply chain. This allows us to comply with California law and provide our California consumers with the disclosure required by Prop 65, while still promising the safest on water experience possible.
Dive Right In Scuba is working diligently with regulatory bodies and our own manufacturing partners to continue to continue to improve our product performance and reduce the presence of less desirable chemicals. Water is a precious resource we all share that is important to the health and well-being of our planet and all people. Our goal is to continue to enhance your water life experience while reducing our overall impact to the planet and, in particular, its waterways. While it is a bit of a juggling act to achieve, we are confident you will see continued improvement in both the immediate and long term future. We hope this explanation will enable you to understand why you will be seeing warnings on some our products.
Thank you for your continued use of Dive Right In Scuba products.
