Unique features & benefits of both the APD45 and the APD90:

• Compact - they both sit comfortably in the palm of the hand and can be easily stowed in a pocket.
• No-Snag design - the totally enclosed line prevents snagging and bird-nest tangling, a common problem with open reels.
• Ratchet Mode - the ratchet also offers line security in that it only winds one way preventing the line from spooling out again when you stop winding.
• The loud audible ratchet-click aids the diver in judging ascent speed and lets other divers know you are returning or ascending.
• Built with glass reinforced polymer – they are rugged and extremely light.
• High-visibility Dyneema line – which is twice as strong as Kevlar and stronger than steel.
• Simple on/off thumb-lock switch to change between ratchet and free-running modes when deploying the line.
• Left or right handed operation.

Both reels can be used as either a Navigation Reel from a fixed point - such as the bottom of a shot-line - or as an SMB Reel for deploying a surface marker buoy.

• The line is positively buoyant which means it will rise above the seabed or wreckage when played out, helping to avoid entanglement and delay on the return journey.
• The thumb-lock switch features a lock-off / tap-to-release design so that you do not have to keep your thumb on it in Free-running mode when using as a navigational reel.
• Simply hold down the switch with your thumb to disengage the ratchet and engage Free-running mode when deploying an SMB to the surface.

THE AP BUDDY BLAST
EMERGENCY AIR HORN

Be heard – Be safe

• Easy activation – Just squeeze
• Easy-to-locate – sits in-line with your BCD inflator
• 136dB blast will capture your group’s attention

The AP BUDDY BLAST surface emergency air-horn is compact, easy to use and packs an almighty punch with a huge 136dB blast of attention-grabbing noise. No worries about being left behind if you’re separated from your boat cover.

No Buttons – Just Squeeze

The BUDDY Blast is so easy to find and operate – even with cold hands or gloves. Unlike other makes, there are no buttons to find, you just grab the whole thing and squeeze the spring-loaded body to operate.

The Blast works with a medium pressure hose and sits in-line between the hose and either of the two A.P.Valves – the APV200 inflator or the Auto Air octo-inflator. It’s the only air horn on the market that doesn’t impede the Auto Air’s normal breathing operation.

Both versions come with a 61cm (24”) medium pressure hose with a swivel connection so that the unit can be rotated to the ideal position.

Warning: hold away from ears during operation.

THE AP BUDDY LINE

Be together – Be safe

• Essential safety kit in certain conditions – don’t dive without it
• Ultra tough – you can rely on it to keep you connected
• High visibility suitable for poor/extreme conditions 

The AP BUDDY LINE keeps you in constant contact with your dive partner in difficult conditions – poor visibility, in a rip current, when drift diving or any training situation where the instructor wants to ensure contact with the student. It can also be used as a Jon-line for ‘hands-free’ attachment at the deco-stop

Keep close to your buddy

The 1.2m line is made from the toughest 25mm bright yellow webbing and features a loop at one end for hand or D ring attachment and a brass spring clip at the other to link to your buddy – or the shot line. It can also be clipped to a second BUDDY LINE to double the distance between divers if preferred. The webbing line stows neatly into its own small neoprene pouch secured with a spring-toggle – from which it is instantly deployable.

AP LIFT BAGS

2 sizes, 4 models

Comprehensive range to suit your needs

We make 2 sizes of lift bag – 25kg and 65kg – in 4 versions:

• LB25 & LB65: open-ended -tapered shape reduces air spillage
• LB25DV & LB65DV : as above – open-ended but with an AP5 over-pressure/dump valve
• LB25C & LB65C: closed or self-sealing – with a unique duckbill valve that seals preventing accidental air spillage
• LB25Ci: closed with dedicated 0.4 litre inflation mini-cylinder. Conserve your breathing gas

AP Lift Bags are manufactured from heavy-duty polyurethane-coated nylon. All seams are high frequency welded for consistent and durable seals.

Available either open-ended – with a tapered shape that reduces accidental air spillage -or closed-ended with our unique internal baffle that self-seals on inflation preventing accidental loss of buoyancy during lift and at the surface.

Both open-ended lift bags are also available with an AP5 over-pressure/dump valve.

The LB25Ci – 25kg self-sealing lift bag comes with a 0.4 litre 232 bar mini-cylinder. A dedicated inflation cylinder makes deployment of the lift bag very simple and is a popular choice with nitrox and trimix divers who do not want to waste their expensive breathing gases inflating the bag. The 0.4 litre mini-cylinder is easily replenished by decanting from the pillar valve of a regular air cylinder.

The LB25Ci can either be used conventionally as a lift bag or it can be used as a heavy-duty Surface Marker Buoy.
