    All Apeks dealers should be able to do this. I wouldn't trust Go Dive to service anything, they can't even deal with simple returns or telling the truth to customers.

    There will be one near west sussex, I'm sure one of the local guys can reccomend an Apeks service centre near you so you don't have to post regs all over the place.

    If you do end up having to post things, I suggest Divelife (the YD store) is a good place to start - never heard a bad word said about them. Well, other than at their competitors who can't keep up

    Digs.

    it's a factory supported option - any dealer should be able to do it for you!

    I take it that is a additional hp port. Does this negate the normal port.

    Can this also be done with a DS4.

    As it's off the turret, isn't this an extra LP port?

    Yes, it is indeed an additional LP port.

    If at first you don't succeed then definitely do not take up parachuting!
