The Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator is environmentally friendly due to its use of recycled polymers containing up to 70% post-consumer waste and bioplastic parts sourced from non-petroleum-based materials. It also uses trivalent chrome plating, which uses fewer harmful chemicals, and eco brass that's lead-free and easier to recycle.
The Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator features a unique over-balanced diaphragm design that enhances performance at depth by allowing the intermediate pressure gas in the hose to increase more rapidly than ambient pressure as divers descend.
The Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator is designed to be lightweight and compact, which helps to reduce jaw fatigue during extended dives. The second stage is also compact and lightweight, improving overall comfort and further reducing jaw fatigue.
The Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator comes with a flexible nylon braided hose that offers superior cold-water performance compared to traditional rubber hoses. It also includes a standard metallic hose connection for versatility.
