AP Diving

AP Diving is a British manufacturer best known for its closed-circuit rebreathers and a long history of designing life-support equipment in the UK. What we stock here is their surface and safety kit rather than rebreather units — surface marker buoys, a lifting bag, a buddy line and Chemgene disinfectant. If there is an AP Diving item you cannot see listed, get in touch and we will tell you what we can do.

    AP Diving — British engineering at the heart of rebreather diving

    AP Diving is a British dive equipment manufacturer, best known for its work in closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) technology. With decades of experience in life-support systems, they have a long-standing reputation among CCR divers for equipment built to be robust and dependable.

    AP Diving's best known products, including the Inspiration and Evolution rebreathers, are used by recreational, technical, cave and expedition divers. Their systems are known for their proven electronics and a strong emphasis on diver safety, and components are designed to perform consistently in challenging environments, from cold UK waters to deep, remote exploration dives.

    Beyond rebreathers, AP Diving also produces a range of accessories and life-support hardware. Their commitment to in-house design and UK manufacturing supports tight quality control and long-term product support.

    What Dive Rutland stocks from AP Diving

    The AP Diving products we currently list are their surface and safety equipment rather than rebreather systems. That means surface marker buoys — a self-sealing SMB, and a version supplied with its own inflation cylinder — along with a 25kg lifting bag with a dump valve, a buddy line, and Chemgene HLD4L disinfectant for cleaning dive equipment. Specifications differ from item to item, so check the manufacturer specification for the one you are interested in, and talk to us if you are not sure what suits your diving.

    Rebreathers and CCR equipment

    We do not list AP Diving rebreather units on the site. Closed-circuit rebreathers are life-support equipment, and diving one requires formal training on that specific unit — questions about selecting, configuring or maintaining a CCR belong with a qualified CCR instructor or with AP Diving directly, not with a product page. If there is a particular AP Diving part or accessory you cannot find here, please get in touch and we will let you know what we can do.

    Here at Dive Rutland we respect AP Diving for their no-nonsense approach to equipment design and their long-standing contribution to the advancement of rebreather diving. It is a brand built on engineering rather than marketing, and that is why we are glad to have their kit on the shelf.

    Frequently asked questions

    Our current AP Diving range is their surface and safety equipment rather than rebreather systems. That covers surface marker buoys — a self-sealing SMB, and one supplied with its own inflation cylinder — a 25kg lifting bag with a dump valve, a buddy line, and Chemgene HLD4L disinfectant for cleaning dive equipment. Specifications differ between the individual items, so check the manufacturer specification for whichever one you are looking at.
    We do not list AP Diving rebreather units on the site. Closed-circuit rebreathers are life-support equipment, and diving one requires formal training on that specific unit, so questions about choosing, configuring or maintaining a CCR are best taken to a qualified CCR instructor or to AP Diving directly. If you are looking for an AP Diving accessory or spare that you cannot see here, please get in touch.
    It depends on how you intend to deploy it and the sort of diving you do. The self-sealing SMB and the version supplied with an inflation cylinder are inflated differently, so read the manufacturer specification for each before you decide. Our guide to choosing a surface marker buoy walks through the differences, and if you would rather talk it through in person, come into the shop.
    Possibly — it is always worth asking. If you cannot find the equipment you are looking for, get in touch and we will let you know what we can do.
