If you are stepping up to technical wreck diving, you’ll need some additional  scuba gear to make your dives both more fun and safe. So before you explore your first wrecks, check out these key pieces of scuba gear you might want to add to your kit.

Apeks Tek 3 Regulator Set
For new tec wreck divers first gearing up, this is an excellent choice. The Tek 3 first stages have been designed specifically for use with twin-tank configurations, with dedicated left- and right-hand orientations. In the complete set, they’re paired with XTX50 first stages, which have left/right reversibility and feature diver-adjustable venturi and inhalation resistance controls. Apeks first stages offer excellent cold-water.

A brilliant OLED display and two-gas nitrox capability are standard with the NiTek Q, but it can be upgraded to handle full trimix (seven gases) and to support rebreather diving. A rechargeable battery provides 30 hours of dive time, and the MIL-SPEC hard-anodized housing helps provide a 150 metre/492-foot depth rating.
