Apeks XL4 Ocea Stage 3 Regulator Set

The Apeks XL4 Ocea represents a new, more environmentally friendly approach to dive equipment manufacturing. The new XL4 Ocean Regulator Set is made from recycled materials and a new type of bio-plastics in a factory powered by solar! Apeks, as the first dive equipment manufacturer, achieves the most eco-sensitive regulator in the world. The new XL4 Ocea uses lead-free brass that can be endlessly recycled and contributes to the plastic removal of about five times their new regulator's weight from the environment - it's the first of its kind regulator that you can genuinely feel good about buying!

The Apeks XL4 Ocea regulator's first stage is a well-known, tried and tested DS4 platform. Exceptionally well-engineered with an over-balanced diaphragm in a compact, neat 1st stage suitable for both warm and cold water diving. The XL4 Ocea features 2 high-pressure ports and 4 medium-pressure ports. Super lightweight, delivered with nylon braided hoses to match both second stages, is the number one consideration for a travelling diver.

The Apeks XL4 Ocea primary regulator and octopus feature a high-performance pneumatically balanced lever-operated poppet valve delivering breathing gas smoothly at any given depth. This regulator is one of the most compact and lightweight primaries on the market, which reduces jaw fatigue over longer dives.
