Product Overview
The Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage (RG-CY202B) is a robust and reliable workhorse designed for divers who value simplicity and consistent performance. Built by Taiwan’s leading diving manufacturer with over 60 years of expertise, this regulator provides smooth, effortless breathing at recreational depths. Its non-adjustable design makes it a favorite for dive centers and students who want a ‘plug-and-play’ experience without the complexity of manual knobs.
Key Features
- Downstream Demand Valve: A proven, fail-safe mechanism that ensures a steady air supply and high reliability.
- Ergonomic Comfort: Equipped with a soft silicone mouthpiece and a lightweight 203g body to significantly reduce jaw fatigue during 60-minute dives.
- High-Impact PU Cover: The durable soft PU cover protects the internal diaphragm from saltwater corrosion and physical impact.
- Nitrox Ready: Compatible with enriched air (up to 40%) when fitted with the appropriate Viton O-rings.
Malaysian Dive Site Applications
Whether you are training in the calm, shallow reefs of the Perhentian Islands or exploring the vibrant coral gardens of Tioman, the Aropec Apollo is perfectly suited for Malaysian waters. Its rugged construction makes it ideal for the high-frequency use typical of dive resorts in Semporna and Langkawi, providing a dependable secondary or primary air source in tropical conditions.
Care Instructions
- Post-Dive Rinse: Always rinse with fresh water as soon as possible after every dive to prevent salt crystallization. Ensure the dust cap is secured if attached to a first stage.
- Soak & Swish: Soak in lukewarm fresh water for 20 minutes; gently swish the second stage to remove sand from the exhaust tee, but do not press the purge button while submerged and unpressurized.
- Storage: Dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the rubber and plastic components. Store with hoses loosely coiled.
- Annual Service: Have the unit inspected annually by a certified Malaysian technician to ensure optimal intermediate pressure and safety.

What is the best way to store and transport the regulator? I want to make sure it stays in good condition between dives. The Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage Non-Adjustable Regulator performed well during my dives and felt comfortable to wear.

Thank you for choosing the Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage Non-Adjustable Regulator, Clayton. We appreciate your positive experience with our product’s performance and comfort. For storing and transporting your regulator, we recommend keeping it in a dry, enclosed container, such as a hard-sided case or a plastic storage box. This will help protect it from dust, water, and other environmental factors that could damage the device. It’s also essential to rinse the regulator with fresh water after each dive and dry it thoroughly before storing it. This will help prevent corrosion and ensure the regulator remains in good working condition between dives.

How does the Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage Non-Adjustable Regulator compare to the AROPEC APOLLO First Stage Regulator? I am looking for a reliable and durable breathing apparatus for my dives.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Rebecca. We’re happy to help you understand the differences between our Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage Non-Adjustable Regulator and the AROPEC APOLLO First Stage Regulator. Both regulators offer reliability and durability, but they serve different purposes. The AROPEC APOLLO First Stage Regulator is a high-performance, adjustable first stage designed for technical diving, while the Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage Non-Adjustable Regulator is a downstream demand valve mechanism suitable for recreational diving and training purposes. If you’re looking for a straightforward, maintenance-friendly breathing apparatus for recreational dives, the Aropec Apollo 2nd Stage Non-Adjustable Regulator would be a great choice. However, if you’re planning to venture into technical diving, the AROPEC APOLLO First Stage Regulator would be a better fit. We’d be happy to help you find the perfect regulator for your needs.
