Description
Apeks – XL4 OCEA OCTO
Please note that due to a facility relocation, some Apeks and Aqualung products may take a month or more to be shipped.
The XL4 Ocea introduces a new regulator concept to the diving industry. It maintains the high build quality and performance found in all Apeks regulators while prioritizing sustainability as its main goal. Every aspect of manufacturing has been carefully considered and optimized to minimize environmental impact. Through our partnership with PlasticBank, the XL4 Ocea is the first ocean plastic negative regulator in the world.
Features & Benefits:
- Constructed from recycled plastic waste and plant-based bioplastic
- Produced in a solar-powered facility
- Utilizes lead-free brass that is more durable than standard brass and can be recycled endlessly
- Each Ocea sale contributes to the collection of 5kg of up-stream plastic waste in collaboration with Plastic Bank
