The pneumatically balanced Oceanic Zeo is an engineering marvel of precision,
durability and comfort. It uses a durable chrome plated marine brass metal
second stage valve to deliver a phenomenal breathing experience with extensive
diver control over the air flow profile at any depth. The cold forged,
over-balanced diaphragm FDXi first stage is environmentally sealed. The
in-line design limits the pressure loss inherent in "L" type first stage
designs making the FDXi more efficient and lighter due to its compact form.
The FDXi offers a balanced diaphragm. The balanced diaphragm is inherently
environmentally sealed. Water enters the main spring cavity and the pressure
increase from the water is transmitted to the internal components by the
impermeable diaphragm membrane. The benefit of this type of first stage design
is that none of the delicate internal parts are exposed-to-contaminants such
as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants can
cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism
deteriorating regulator performance. A diaphragm first stage regulator
requires less-maintenance then regulators that allow these contaminates to
enter the internal mechanism.
In addition the FDXi first stage regulator has a secondary diaphragm to
completely seal-off the main spring cavity. A sealed balanced diaphragm design
isolates the main spring cavities internal components from the environment. It
also means the FDXi is excellent for ice diving (it won't freeze up) or diving
in waters filled with contaminants or sediment (it won't corrode). At 21 oz.
(595.3 g), the FDXi is Oceanic's lightest weight first stages. The FDXi first
stage has 4-low pressure (LP) and 2-high pressure (HP) ports. The regulators
angled ports provide ideal hose routing and improved flow rate over standard
right-angle first stages.
Oceanic started with the pneumatically balanced EOS, a legendary regulator
known for its comfort and breathing profile and ended up with the Zeo. Like
its predecessor the EOS, the Zeo is also a phenomenal breather allowing the
diver extensive control over the air flow profile at any depth. It takes this
design one step further however by incorporating a tough and corrosion
resistant chrome plated marine brass valve that has better cold-water
performance and even a better breathing experience. The all metal valve
encourages the condensation of water vapor from your exhalation on the valve
housing. When you inhale that condensed water-vapor circulates with the
airflow and help to reduce "dry mouth" and increase the overall level of
comfort. The Zeo also comes with Oceanic's patented dynamic adjustment
technology, diver inhalation effort adjustment controls, dive/pre-dive switch,
in-line ball swivel, 3/8" threaded MaxFlex 30" (76.2 cm) hose and a
super-comfortable orthodontic mouth piece all to reduce jaw fatigue.
The Zeo/FDXi combination is everything you need for a sublime breathing
experience at any depth and in any environment. From the balmy tropical waters
of the Caribbean to the extremes of cold water diving's best dive sites, the
Zeo will perform with reliability, consistency and comfort and makes taking
your favorite regulator literally anywhere, that much easier. The yoke
regulator weighs 29.2 oz. (827.8 g) without the hose, is Nitrox compatible up
to 40% out-of-the-box and comes with an owner's manual.
