The Apeks MTX-R Regulator 3 Set is based on the MTX, a regulator that was developed in accordance with the United States Navy Experimental Dive Unit extreme cold water test. The “M” in MTX stands for Military and the “R” for recreational version.

The advancements in design of the MTX-R regulator enable it to operate effectively in near-freezing water, a rare capability among regulators in the consumer market.
