Apeks XL4 Ocea Octopus

Apeks XL4 Ocea Octopus with octopus hose

The Apeks XL4 Ocea Octopus with braided hose is compact and lightweight. The Ocea range introduces a new regulator concept. It shares the build quality and performance of all Apeks regulators. Also, its primary objective is to be the first totally sustainably produced regulator available.

Every manufacturing detail, consequently, has been optimised for minimal environmental impact. Furthermore, partnership with PlasticBank makes Ocea the world's first ocean plastic negative regulator. Moreover, the Ocea is a truly game-changing regulator. Ultimately, it removes five times its own weight in plastic from the environment.

The Apeks XL4 Ocea Octopus includes a flexible nylon braided yellow octopus hose. This hose performs better in cold water than traditional rubber.

Apeks XL4 Ocea Octopus Features:

• Compact and lightweight second stage improves comfort. It also reduces jaw fatigue on long dives.
• A high-performance, pneumatically balanced poppet valve ensures smooth airflow.
• A large, over-molded purge button allows self-flushing and controllable purging.
• An ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use and locate.
• A standard metallic hose connection ensures interchangeability.
• The Comfobite mouthpiece fits comfortably without bite pressure. Its unique bridge fits across the upper palate.
• A reusable mouthpiece clip simplifies field mouthpiece changes.
• A durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.
