The idea of breathing from your BCD in an emergency has proved to be such a simple and reliable life-saver over the decades that it remains a key and unique feature of AP BCDs today.<\/p>\n<p>David Parker, inventor of the original valve, outlines the simple life-saving procedure he first developed back in 1969.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThroughout the dive you will always have a potential air supply inside your jacket. If your regulator fails or you are out-of-air, the jacket breathing facility of the APV200 or Auto Air \u2013 used in conjunction with your emergency mini-cylinder \u2013 will give you another bail-out option by giving you access to this spare air.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w628765349e39f-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w628765349e39f-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Auto Air<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vg-image-widget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-features-scuba-auto-air-apdiving2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><span class=\"caption\">Jeff Parker AP &copy;<\/span><\/div><div id=\"panel-w628765349e39f-1-1-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><strong>The Auto Air \u2013 high-performance inflator \/ alternate air source regulator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Originally developed in 1972 by David Parker, the Auto Air was years ahead of its time, preceding the entire crop of rival Octo-inflators by at least 15 years. In one compact unit, it combines the AP jacket-breathing facility, a direct feed power inflator and an alternate air source Octopus bailout, offering EN250 regulator standard breathing performance.<\/p>\n<p>Restyled and improved, the current Auto Air is a balanced valve, meaning it requires no set up or adjustment, it will automatically adapt to the interstage pressure of whatever first stage it is fitted to. Unlike other makes, in an emergency you don\u2019t have to press any buttons. Just breath and it will draw air from wherever it can, either from your main cylinder (octopus mode) or from the BCD bladder (jacket-breathing mode). In octopus mode it\u2019s a high performance regulator that sits comfortably on your chest \u2013 always within reach.<\/p>\n<p>Simply insert the mouthpiece in place of your failed regulator. A short sharp exhale will purge any small amount of water inside the valve and then breathing air can be drawn directly from the jacket. There will always be a few breaths available.<\/p>\n<p><em>This initial ability to breathe is key to preventing panic in the vital first few seconds of an out-of-air situation. Your buoyancy will not be affected until you exhale. Air inside the bladder is easily replenished by a brief on\/off operation of the mini-cylinder.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With practice this bail-out procedure becomes routine. Let air into the jacket in breath-sized bursts, maintaining buoyancy &amp; your ability to breathe until you reach your partner or, if necessary, jacket-breathe to the surface. As you ascend, your jacket air expands so you replenish less often.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the surface, use the AP Valve (or Auto Air) to orally inflate your jacket by pressing and holding in the dump button as you exhale into the bag. Alternatively, if you have air remaining in your mini-cylinder, use this to inflate your BCD \u00a0\u2013 a quick, easy, life-saving emergency buoyancy supply.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><div id=\"pg-404-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"sep panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-404-3\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-404-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-404-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div id=\"pl-w6287659b11664\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w6287659b11664-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w6287659b11664-0\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-w6287659b11664-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w6287659b11664-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">EMERGENCY BUOYANCY<br \/> &amp; BREATHING<\/h2>\n<h3>Never go out without it\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>A lack of buoyancy at the surface is cited year after year as one of the main causes of dive accidents. An independent emergency buoyancy supply to hand at all times is a proven lifesaver. That is why we have offered the option of a mini-cylinder on all AP (previously BUDDY) BCDs for over 35 years. Today the mini-cylinder option is available on the Commando, the Commando Explorer, the Tekwing, the Trident and all AP rebreathers.<\/p>\n<p>A typical scenario is that a diver reaches the surface but is out-of-air and struggling to stay afloat. With a mini-cylinder fitted, reaching back to open the tap is a simple solution, providing instant surface support that calms the situation and saves lives.<\/p>\n<p>The other major benefit of choosing a mini-cylinder is its use as part of the unique AP emergency jacket-breathing system in conjunction with the Auto Air or the APV200 as outlined in the section above.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w6287659b11664-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"vg_bs_nb_widget\" id=\"widget-0-1-0\"><div class=\"vg_bs_slides\"><ul><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-features-scuba-mini-cylinder-camband-apdiving1.jpg\" \/><\/li><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-features-apv200-apvalve-apdiving.jpg\" \/><\/li><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-features-scuba-mini-cylinder-apdiving.jpg\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"clear\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n            jQuery(document).ready(function(){\r\n                $slider = jQuery('#widget-0-1-0 .vg_bs_slides ul').bxSlider({\r\n                    useCSS: false,minSlides: 1,   maxSlides: 1,slideWidth:478, slideMargin: 0, \r\n                    controls: false, auto:true, pause:5000, autoStart:true, pager:false,\r\n                    mode: \"fade\"\r\n                });\r\n\r\n            });\r\n        <\/script><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-404-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"sep panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-404-4\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-404-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-404-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div id=\"pl-w6287659b11e62\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w6287659b11e62-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w6287659b11e62-0\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-w6287659b11e62-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"vg_bs_nb_widget\" id=\"widget-0-0-0\"><div class=\"vg_bs_slides\"><ul><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/rrs-cargo-clips-insitu-apdiving2.jpg\" \/><\/li><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/cargo-clips-insitu-apdiving.jpg\" \/><\/li><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-technology-safety-control-rrs-apdiving.jpg\" \/><\/li><li class=\"vg_bs_slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/rrs-integrated-weights-insitu-apdiving2.jpg\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"clear\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n            jQuery(document).ready(function(){\r\n                $slider = jQuery('#widget-0-0-0 .vg_bs_slides ul').bxSlider({\r\n                    useCSS: false,minSlides: 1,   maxSlides: 1,slideWidth:478, slideMargin: 0, \r\n                    controls: false, auto:true, pause:5000, autoStart:true, pager:false,\r\n                    mode: \"fade\"\r\n                });\r\n\r\n            });\r\n        <\/script><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w6287659b11e62-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w6287659b11e62-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>RAPID RELEASE SYSTEM<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<h3>Configure your kit in seconds<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The RRS is a unique and secure mechanical locking system (+ve lock with audible click when secured) fitted to both the Commando and the Commando Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>The RRS gives you the option of secure stowage of accessories (such as a reel, SMB or torch) or can be used for securing Integrated Weight pouches.

No tools required.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve put enough leeway in the webbing band length to cater for unusual cylinder sizes so you shouldn\u2019t be caught short. Fitted with separation blocks, you can choose to use either a manifold or individual regulators. Either way, the cylinders will be held as rigidly as metal camband systems and it is not necessary to fit a twin-cylinder boot. Converting back to single cylinder is a job that requires no tools and takes only a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>*(the exception is the AP Travelwing which features a soft backpack not suited to carrying a twinset)<\/p>\n<p>Available in 3 sizes to fit all common cylinder diameters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vgLinkSingle\"><a  class=\"vgLink yellow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/shop\/en\/bcd-open-circuit\/bcd-upgrades\/twinset-cambands.html\">SEE ALL CAMBAND KITS IN THE DIVE STORE<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-w6287659b12617-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w6287659b12617-3\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-w6287659b12617-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"vg-image-widget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/separator-middle.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-w6287659b12617-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w6287659b12617-4\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-w6287659b12617-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w6287659b12617-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>PONY CYLINDER CAMBAND UPGRADES<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy-to-fit \u2013 no tools required<\/li>\n<li>Configure your cylinders from a single up to quads<\/li>\n<li>Versatile and solid cylinder-attachment direct to your main cylinders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Extremely neat and secure, these kits let you mount 2 or 3 litre pony cylinders alongside your main cylinder.

This access makes washing and servicing of your BCD simple \u2013 another factor that extends the useful life of the kit.<\/p>\n<p>If necessary, it also allows you or a service technician to dismantle the entire BCD offering unique maintenance capabilities. Unlike most other BCDs on the market, it means every part, from the valves, to the inner bladder or even the outer bag, can be stripped down, serviced and replaced if required. Because we have made all components in-house for over 50 years, replacement parts are readily available. We have a stock (or can quickly manufacture) any part of any AP kit ever produced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vgLinkSingle\"><a  class=\"vgLink yellow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/service\/\">FIND OUT ABOUT BCD SERVICING<\/a><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w62876534a1b16-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"vg-image-widget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-features-service-apdiving.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><span class=\"caption\">Refurbishing a 27 year old Commando<br \/> Jeff Parker AP &copy;<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--vgRowWrapper--><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-404-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-404-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-404-8-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><div id=\"pl-w628764284d1a9\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w628764284d1a9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w628764284d1a9-0\" ><div class=\"vgRowWrapper\"><div id=\"pgc-w628764284d1a9-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"vg-image-widget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-features-scuba-stud-apdiving.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><span class=\"caption\">Jeff Parker AP &copy;<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w628764284d1a9-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w628764284d1a9-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">FIRST OWNER<br \/>\nLIFETIME WARRANTY<\/h2>\n<p>Register your BCD on purchase and you get an extremely confident Lifetime Warranty on the integrity of the airtight seal of the PU inner bladder on all twin-bag AP BCDs \u2013 the Commando, Commando Explorer, Tekwing, Trident and Redwing.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a no quibble deal.\u00a0<\/em>If the bladder seal fails 5, 10, 30 years after purchase\u2026 we will replace the bladder free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>The twin-bag design features a rugged outer bag and the airtight inner bladder.
