As I understand it, John Bennett used Apeks TX100's for backgas on his 254m
open water record dive with no problems at all.  He said they remained a
light breath at that depth.  He's also recently done a 308m dive but I don't
know whether he was using Apeks again for that one, not may details of the
dive have been released as yet.

Apeks's site is http://www.apeks.co.uk , they used to have some technical
diagrams on there, try mailing them if you can't find what you want.

Regards,

Iwan
