Yes you can get it locally.  It's a great combo.  I have the Apeks TX-50 and I like it a lot.  The ATX-50 is the same reg with a smaller second stage.  I bought mine locally at  They are located in Maple Grove.  I'm sure there are other shops that carry Apeks as well because they are distributed in the US by SeaQuest.

<br>I checked with Scuba Center and Going Under. Pricing was around $600-700 for this combo. It can be purchased on the net for $350. I want to support the LDS but it is hard to justify that price difference. <br><br>

Hopefully a local dive shop will log on here and help explain the benefits in more detail of buying locally.
