Sealife Sport Diver Wide Angle Dome Lens

6”/15cm Wide Angle Dome Lens for SportDiver

The 6”/15cm Sealife Sport Diver Wide Angle Dome Lens for the SeaLife SportDiver underwater smartphone housing increases the phone’s camera lens field-of view by 40% and allows photographers to get closer to the subject while fitting everything into the image frame. The new dome lens mounts directly to the SportDiver housing’s lens port without a lens adapter.

The 0.71x dome lens requires no skill, training, or adjustment; simply mount it and shoot. Split shots that split the topside view with the undersea view are especially easy. There’s a safety lanyard included to keep the lens with the housing should it get bumped off. The dome lens design uses high-grade acrylic optics arranged in a 2-element/2- group array that delivers crisp edge-to-edge sharpness. The lens has a 15.6mm film-equivalent effective focal length when used, for example, with the SeaLife SportDiver and the iPhone 15 Pro’s 24mm “Ultrawide” camera lens.

The lens is waterproof to 130ft/40m and is positively buoyant. The new 6”/15cm Dome Lens fits all SeaLife SportDiver housings. The dome lens includes a rotatable sunshade built around the optics to help control stray sunlight. The lens is a “wet lens” and can be attached and removed topside and underwater.

Apeks MTX-R Sidemount Regulator Set

The Apeks MTX-R Sidemount regulator set has it’s beginnings based on the MTX, a regulator that was developed in accordance with the United States Navy Experimental Dive Unit extreme cold water test. Innovations in design mean that the MTX-R regulator performs in almost freezing water at a depth of over 60 metres, something that very few other regulators on the consumer market can boast. With an innovative first stage design that helps to prevent ice build up around the diaphragm, the MTX-R is reliable, rugged and expedition ready.

The Apeks MTX-R sidemount set is a super tough, rugged, high performance, go anywhere sidemount regulator configuration designed to meet the rigours of cold water and extreme sidemount diving. The MTX-R is highly reliable and also very easy to service out in the field which make it an ideal choice for the expedition and exploration diver.

The MTX-R has excellent cold water performance and has a greatly reduced risk of free flow. This has been achieved by improving several areas, including an innovative endcap and environmental diaphragm, a forged 1st stage body offering maximum thermal preference, a ribbed diaphragm clamp and a redesigned & enlarged heat exchanger on the 2nd stage with metal incorporated into the front cover design.

FEATURES

FIRST STAGE

Second Stage

High performance, pneumatically balanced, lever operated poppet valve.

Large, diver friendly self-flushing controllable purge button.

Front cover with over-moulded elastomer incorporates a formed chromeplated brass plate improving durability of the second stage.

Large protective elastomer bumpers on the side and on the top to protect the second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places.

Reversible second stage for either a left or right hand gas supply configuration.

A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water.

Comfo-bite mouthpiece

Double swivel hose

Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose.
