XL4 Ocea + Octo Regulator Set

The Ocea is the first of its kind – an environmentally-conscious regulator made from recycled materials and bio-plastics, manufactured in a solar-powered facility. Based on the XL4+, every single material and process was reconsidered to create the most eco-sensitive scuba diving regulator in the world. The Ocea is a truly game-changing regulator that removes five times its own weight in plastic from the environment.

Eco-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.

Features:

  • 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
