Apeks XL4 Ocea Grey Regulator with Octopus

The Apeks XL4 Ocea Grey Regulator with Octopus 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 optimised in the pursuit of minimal environmental impact. Partnership with PlasticBank, establishes the Apeks Ocea as the world’s first ocean plastic negative regulator.

XL4 Ocea Regulator 3 Set includes

• XL4 Ocea First Stage
• XL4 Ocea Second Stage with Apeks Flexi Regulator Hose
• XL4 Ocea Octopus with yellow Apeks Flexi Octopus Hose

Balanced First Stage

An environmentally sealed dry chamber prevents water from coming into contact with the 1st stage spring to stop freezing.

Ocea first stages are over balanced which allows for maximum performance at depth. This results in superior performance at depth.

• Compact machined first stage based on the expedition tested Apeks DS4 platform.
• Lead free brass is kinder to the environment and reduces the regulators footprint.
• Trivalent chrome uses less energy than traditional chrome and is kinder to the environement.
• 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports.

XL4 Ocea Second Stage

Compact and lightweight second stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw fatigue on long duration dives. The Venturi lever disrupts the airflow inside the Ocea second stage to prevent accidental free flows at the surface.

Patented Apeks Comfobite mouthpiece reduces jaw fatigue and secures the second stage more comfortably. Comfobite 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.

• 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.
• Re-useable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the field.
• Durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.
