WTX-D40 Single Cylinder Wing by Apeks
Apeks WTX-D40 Single Cylinder Wing: Streamlined Stability
Technical diving meets recreational simplicity with the Apeks WTX-D40. While "donut" style wings originated in deep technical diving, their benefits translate perfectly to any single-tank dive. The continuous loop shape allows air to travel freely around the bladder. This eliminates the "taco effect" where air gets trapped on one side, ensuring you stay stable and balanced underwater without fighting dramatic shifts in buoyancy.
Sleek and Smart Design
Apeks designed this wing to hug your cylinder. The smart "nesting" shape allows your tank to sit deep inside the wing, creating a much lower profile than traditional designs. This reduction in drag helps you glide through the water with less effort. To keep your tank strictly in place, the wing features built-in tank stabilizer bars, ensuring your cylinder doesn't wobble or shift during the dive.
Rugged Exterior, Reliable Interior
We know gear gets tossed around on boat decks and rocky shores. That is why the exterior is constructed from heavy-duty 1000D Armorshield Cordura. Inside, the air cell uses thick 22 mil (.022 inch) black urethane to maintain integrity. Accessing the inner bladder for cleaning or service is simple via the heavy-duty YKK #10 plastic zipper.
Intuitive Inflation and Venting
The controls are positioned exactly where you need them. The K-style inflator features durable brass buttons and a 16-inch (40.6 cm) oval hose. It is positioned off-center, which keeps the hose from interfering with your first stage regulator and allows for cleaner hose routing. When it is time to descend or trim out, the low-profile flat dump valve is located on the lower left side for easy reach.
Customizable Configuration
This wing mates perfectly with the rest of the Apeks WTX collection of harnesses and plates. For divers who prefer a more compact setup, the WTX-D40 is compatible with an optional Retractor Kit (P/N: 388300), which helps pull the wing in tight when deflated to further reduce drag.
Efficient Drainage
Post-dive care is hassle-free. The wing features two large drain grommets and a center mesh drain panel to let water exit quickly, preventing mildew and making the gear lighter to carry back to the car.

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.
