Let customers speak for us.

Got certified with Dixie for the Rescue Diver. Charles was the instructor. He did a great job helping the class understand the why and how in real life situations. His years of experience and stories were great. The course was challenging and intense. As it should be! Charles worked with us and helped us every step of the way to make sure we were learning versus regurgitating. Great weekend of learning. Thanks Charles.

Our daughter took the Open Water Camp in June 2022 and she loved it. As parents we were comfortable knowing that she was working with professionals who are great dive instructors (Martha and Natalie), great with kids and focused on safety. I have experience with a few dive shops in South Florida and DXDivers is the most professional. We've done a few dives with DXDivers since her certification and I feel like everyone in the shop and on the boat is looking out for her. She'll be back for Advanced Open Water camp in the future. I highly recommend this Open Water Camp with DXDivers.

Completing the Instructor Development Course through Dixie Divers was a great! Thanks to the awesome support of the DXDiver family, and under the guidance of course director Charles Kiss, we crushed the written exam and skill demonstrations required to pass the PADI Instructor Examinations. The entire shop was invested in our success as PADI Professionals and shepherding us into the start of our professional dive careers. Thank you to Charles Neeley and Tyler Bo for always being available and willing to talk me down lol. We were incredibly well prepared.

Contact Form & Details

How can we help?

If you need to contact us for any issue or assistance, you can do so online by filling out the online Contact Form , emailing us at [email protected] or calling us on +44(0)1305 824 555. If it's about a purchase you've made for us please also include your order number.

Our brick-and-mortar store Underwater Explorers based on Portland, Dorset is staffed 7 days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. As it's an active store visited by divers from around the country and world regularly, if we can't make it to the phone for any reason please leave a message and we'll get back to you asap.

Any queries are usually answered the very same day and at most within 24 hours.

Why Portland?

We’re located on the Isle of Portland (in Dorset) because Portland has been one of the most popular scuba diving locations in the United Kingdom even before we set up operations here back in the year 2000.

On one side, we’re minutes away from the sheltered waters of Portland Marina and Harbour, while on the other, it’s just a brief walk to reach our famous scuba diving destination  Chesil Cove and start of the 16-mile-long Chesil Beach .  

Portland’s location makes it ideal for scuba diving, freediving, snorkelling and other surface water sports activities. 

Check out how many wrecks we have around here by clicking on Scimitar Diving's Wreck & Dive Sites chart!

Alongside dive clubs, many instructors and dive schools travel here to train and offer scuba diving certification ranging from open water diver to mixed-gas tech diving or rebreather diving levels.

Whether you’re doing a boat dive from Portland Marina or Castletown or a shore dive at Chesil Cove , Portland is well known for offering many possibilities: Reef diving to wreck diving and night diving, underwater photography or underwater videography. Anything other than cave diving is possible here.

Likely being the best-stocked diving shop in the UK, at Underwater Explorers we offer in-store scuba diving equipment advice and sales, as well as gas fills, to locals and visitors (read About Us ).

But... If you’re googling “scuba diving shop near me” like some, look no further, there's DirDirect online.

Here at DirDirect, we list our cutting-edge equipment for worldwide delivery and we’ve got you covered whatever your level of diving: We’re your local dive store wherever you are in the world.

All that with over 20 years of experience especially in technical diving, from training to equipment, advice and sales.

The Apeks single tank wing with backplate and harness is now available as a fully set-up Apeks WTX Single Tank Wing System, all ready to go.

You have two backplate and wing options. Choose from stainless steel or a lighter aluminium backplate. For these fully set up systems, Apeks offers either WTX-D40 wing providing 40lbs lift or the smaller WTX-D30 with 30lbs lift.

Apeks WTX Single Tank Wing System includes

  • Apeks WTX-D40 or WTX-D30 wing with inflator hose
  • Apeks stainless steel or aluminium backplate
  • Apeks Deluxe One Piece Harness (fitted to the backplate)
  • Two Apeks cam bands with stainless steel buckles

Apeks WTX-D30 & WTX-D40 Wing

The Apeks WTX-D Single Cylinder Wings are narrow in design, allowing a cylinder to nest deep inside them.

Single-cylinder wings, often referred to as donuts, are oval-shaped air cells or bladders that are not permanently attached to a harness. While single-cylinder wings have their origins in the realm of technical diving, they are becoming very popular in the recreational community. Not only are these single-cylinder wings streamlined, but due to their shape being a continuous loop, they are very stable underwater. There is no dramatic shift of air from left to right.

Apeks single-cylinder wings are a smart design that allows a cylinder to nest deep inside them. These wings fit nicely with the rest of the Apeks WTX collection of high-quality harnesses, plates and accessories. They can be configured in multiple ways to match the type of diving that you do. As with the rest of the WTX collection, these single-cylinder wings are built from the finest quality materials.

  • K style inflator positioned off-centre so as not to interfere with regulator 1st stage
  • Low profile 16” oval-shaped corrugated hose
  • Apeks Flex inflator hose
  • Safety cable to prevent hyper-extension
  • Low profile flat dump valve positioned in front, lower-left side
  • 2 large drain grommets
  • Centre mesh drain panel
  • Lift capacities: WTX-D30 30lbs / WTX-D40 40lbs

Apeks Deluxe One-Piece Webbed Harness

This simple yet strong Apeks Deluxe One-Piece Webbed Harness can take the load of a fully rigged technical diver. It can be easily customised with the hardware of your choice.

  • 12’ of 2-inch stiff webbing with centre grommet
  • 2” wide crotch strap
  • 6 stainless 2” D-rings
  • 2 neoprene shoulder protectors
  • 2 elastic retaining loops on the shoulders and one on the crotch strap
  • Heavy-duty stainless waist buckle
  • 6 stainless serrated retainers

Apeks backplates are available in stainless steel or aluminium.

Four each upper and lower slots accommodate nylon cylinder cam bands so a single cylinder can be strapped directly to the plate. A series of 4 slots provides lateral stability of the cylinder that traditional two-slot plates cannot.

Three holes at the top of the Apeks Backplate offer a range of height adjustments for the wings and the cylinders. In addition, a corresponding lower centre slot allows for misaligned lower band bolts.

Upper and lower perimeter holes along either side and holes along the bottom allow for accessories mounting. 2" wide crotch strap slot.

  • Aluminium Backplate weighs approx 753g
  • Stainless Steel Backplate weight approx 2.2 kg

EXPLORE THE APEKS RANGE

WORLD CLASS REGULATORS

Our award-winning regulators are world renowned for their performance, adaptability and reliability

In the mid-1970s, two friends decided to combine their knowledge of diving and precision engineering. Working from a small garage in the north of England, they set about creating what has become some of the most respected scuba diving equipment on the market.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Decades later that spirit of precision-engineering and craftsmanship continues. Our world-class production facilities and the fact that we have total control over every manufacturing process makes Apeks scuba diving regulators the industry benchmark for design, quality and performance.

SUSTAINABILITY

Environmental guardianship is at the heart of everything we do. From single-use plastic free packaging to environmentally conscious materials and manufacturing methods, our goal is to protect and preserve our ocean playground.

EXPLORATION

Apeks products are being used to explore some of the deepest, coldest and most challenging dive environments on earth. Because when the environment demands, only one thing matters; that your dive kit is designed, developed and tested to keep you safe and comfortable.

Technical Diving Wings, Harnesses and Backplates

Apeks Deluxe Webbed Harness

Apeks wtx backplate aluminium, technical diving wings, harnesses and backplates.

Find the best value Technical Diving Wings, Harnesses and Backplates at Mike's Dive Store. If you think technical diving may be the route you are going to follow when you take up scuba diving then perhaps you should consider a Wing type configuration. The technical diving setup means you can modularise your buoyancy control, meaning you buy a harness and then add on whichever bladder suits the type of diving you will be doing.

For example, you might want a small, lightweight wing for your tropical Red Sea dive trip and then switch to a heavier weight, higher buoyancy wing for some deeper, more challenging technical diving in the English Channel. The initial outlay for a technical diving harness and Wing is more than a conventional BCD, but you will save in the long run when you only need a second wing rather than a complete new BCD.

Nowadays, technical diving is ever so popular, and Mike's Dive Store offers a vast range of technical diving equipment from major brands like Hollis, Dive Rite, Apeks, Mares XR, Scubapro X-Tek range.

Mares is famous for putting a lot of effort into their technical diving research and development. As a result, they launch Mares XR range  of products which include the latest wings, harnesses and backplates. We think they look fantastic. This Italian brand not only looks super stylish but offers a real performance underwater. If you are looking for high-quality technical diving or sidemount equipment, Mares is worth consideration.

Just like the previous company, Scubapro's proud recreational diving heritage has been supplemented by a fantastic range of technical diving wings, harnesses and backplates from Scubapro X-Tek range . This extraordinarily well-made and reliable line of technical diving products delivers all you need for your technical diving needs.  Scubapro is one of our favourite brands, and we stock a great selection of Scubapro X-Tek, X-Tek Pure and X-Tek Pro technical diving systems.

Hollis and Dive Rite are two American companies that need no introduction. They have been founded purely to offer technical diving equipment of the highest quality. Their development and design of technical wings, harness and backplates thrive on decades of technical diving expertise of their founding fathers and other diving explorers. As an ongoing commitment to our technical divers, Mike's Dive Store offers technical wings, harnesses and backplates from Hollis and Dive Rite.

If you are looking for technical wings, harnesses and backplate manufacturer closer to home Apeks is your brand. They have been at the heart of technical diving for some time and offer fantastic modular systems for all your technical diving needs.  The WTX and WTX-D Series is a selection of harnesses, buoyancy cells and accessories are a fantastic choice for any aspired explorer.

Wildberries: no goods were damaged during the mass brawl at the warehouse in Elektrostal

The goods were not damaged during the conflict between workers at the Wildberries warehouse in Elektrostal near Moscow, the marketplace’s press service told Lenta.ru. They also answered the question about further cooperation with the perpetrators of the brawl.

“Those employed at the warehouse must comply with the legislation of the Russian Federation. The issue of further cooperation with the perpetrators of the conflict will be considered after all the circumstances have been established. At the moment, the warehouse is operating as normal,” Wildberries commented on the incident. At the same time, the company promised to conduct an internal investigation.

A mass brawl at a Wildberries warehouse in the Moscow region became known on Thursday, February 8. It is known that a fight broke out between the security guards of the premises and its employees. Previously, one of its participants sprayed pepper spray.

According to law enforcement, the fight in the warehouse occurred after one of the employees violated the rules for collecting goods. The regional Ministry of Internal Affairs added that they have identified 13 participants in the fight and are questioning them. An investigation into the incident has been launched.
