Apeks Tech Shorts
The Apeks Tech Shorts were created for divers in need of extra storage, durability and convenience underwater. If you are the type of diver to carry SMBs and spools; a back-up mask; wet notes; or just need the extra space- these 3mm neoprene shorts may be the comfortable and convenient solution.
We put the Apeks Tech Shorts to the test in Fiji, wearing them over our wetsuits during multiple dives. They quickly became one of our favourite pieces of gear, with the two large cargo pockets keeping essentials close at hand- including the GoPro settings QR codes we used while filming the famous bull sharks at Beqa Lagoon Shark Dive. The grip bars make the pockets very easy to open. Constructed from durable 3mm compressed eco-neoprene with an adjustable waistband, the Tech Shorts offer a secure, comfortable fit and are a practical addition for both recreational and technical divers.
Why Divers Choose the Apeks Tech Shorts:
- 3mm compressed eco-neoprene: Durable construction which is also ocean conscious.
- Two large drysuit-style cargo pockets: Plenty of space to carry your essentials.
- Internal bungee loops: Adding extra security for your backup equipment.
- Zippered storage compartments: Perfect for the smaller accessories.
- Grip bars: Make pocket access easy while wearing gloves.
- Liquid Fusion seams: Improve the strength and durability of your tech shorts.
- Protective rubber grip panels: reduce abrasion of the shorts, making them last even longer.
- Adjustable waistband with quick-release buckle: For a comfortable yet safe fit.
- Can be worn over most wetsuits or on their own in warm water
Our Recommendation:
Who are the Apeks Tech Shorts best suited for?
After using the Apeks Tech Shorts ourselves in Fiji, we can confidently say that they are one of those pieces of gear you don't realise you need until you have them. They are versatile and can either be worn on their own in warm water or be used as an extra layer over most wetsuits. Either way, they are a great choice for recreational divers, dive professionals who like to be extra-prepared underwater, photographers who want easy access to their accessories or technical divers who keep plenty backups close by.
Great additions to have with your Apeks Tech Shorts (since there is plenty of space in the pockets):
- TUSA Rescue Marker / SMB- It is always a good idea to carry an SMB for added security, in case of separation from your dive group.
- Weefine Solar Zoom 1500 Dive Light- Dive lights are a great accessory to have underwater and are essential for cave and wreck dives.
- Halcyon Line Cutter- A fantastic accessory to keep in your tech short pockets if you look to help clean our ocean from debris or want to be extra safe in the rare chance of entanglement.
