Apeks - XL4 OCEA REGULATOR
This item is available to order, but will not ship from MARES until May.
The Ocea presents a new concept of regulator to the diving market. One that comes with the inherent build quality and performance shared by all Apeks regulators, but having the prime objective of being the first totally sustainably produced regulator available. Every manufacturing detail has been considered and adjusted to ensure
each material and process has been Optimized in the pursuit of minimal environmental impact. Our partnership with PlasticBank, establishes the Ocea as the world’s first ocean plastic negative regulator.
Features & Benefits:
- Made from recycled plastic waste and plant-based bioplastic
- Manufactured in a solar-powered facility
- Uses lead-free brass that can be endlessly recycled and is stronger than standard brass.
- The sale of each Ocea funds the collection of 5kg of up-stream plastic waste in collaboration with Plastic Bank.
- Compact machined first stage based on the expedition tested Apeks DS4 platform.
- Unique over-balanced diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a faster rate than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
- 2 HP ports and 4MP ports
- Compact and lightweight second stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw fatigue on long duration dives
- High performance pneumatically balanced lever operated poppet valve
- Large, over moulded self-flushing and controllable purge button
- Ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use and locate
- Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than a traditional rubber hose
- Standard metallic hose connection for interchangeability
- Comfo-bite mouthpiece has a unique bridge that fits across the upper palate and does not require bite pressure to stay in place
- Re-useable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the field
- Durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion
