The Apeks 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.

DETAILS

First Stage

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
