Octopus – Your Backup Lifeline Underwater
The octopus (or alternate air source) is a crucial part of your scuba setup—a backup regulator designed to be shared with your dive buddy in an emergency. While it’s a piece of gear you hope never to use, it must function perfectly when it counts.
Octos come in a range of styles, from basic and compact designs to high-performance models that mirror your primary regulator. Some feature bright colours or streamlined designs to make them easier to locate and deploy quickly.
Whether you clip it to a D-ring or stow it in a streamlined holder, your octopus should be easily accessible, regularly serviced, and compatible with the rest of your regulator setup.
Dependable, visible, and ready when needed—choose an octopus that matches your diving environment and puts safety first.
