Questions & Answers

Do I need a separate piece of equipment in order to breathe underwater in a pool or a lake, or do I just need this to breathe underwater? What's the point of doing it?

In order to use this, you must be a certified diver, and you also need all the other gear you need to dive. This is used as a backup regulator if another diver needs air or something happens to your main regulator. More information about diving can be found at a local dive shop. You will become addicted to breathing underwater once you experience it! I hope you have a great time!

What is the balance of this regulator?

The second stage is not balanced, as far as I know. It is the first stage where the Octo is connected to what is

Older versions of this Octo are not compatible with the Aqua lung Legend regulator, from what I have read. Would you be able to confirm this?

Those who are scuba diving at shallow depths can use it. A leak can happen when the mouthpiece is 75 feet away. It has never been a problem for me to sell this combination of regs together. As a result, the Legend is over-balanced, while the ABS is not made to be compatible with such a feature Alternatives to the Apecks Egress Octo include the Apecks Aero Overbalanced regulations have been taken into account when developing this. The ABS is low profile like this one.

How do you get water out of the octo without it entering?

The key can be inserted either way. There is an upside to down and an upside to down. It is ideal for emergencies because the last thing you want to consider is whether it is upside down or right side up. All you need to do is put it into your mouth and breath! This October has been great, by the way.

Selected User Reviews For Aqua Lung ABS Octopus

An octopus regulator of great quality! Suitable for both upside down and right side up use
5/5

In my experience diving, I have had to provide air to hundreds of divers over the years, so I know the importance of having an octopus that can work Poseidon regulators that work in both directions were the only ones I knew about before. I was so happy to find that it works the same way as that one. You can appreciate that it uses the same second stage parts as conventional regulators, it's just a different case shape. If you work with regulators, you can see that it's much easier to find parts and service. It's important that the mouthpiece and exhaust valve are on the same plane, so it can be put in your mouth either way, and you will not gain a mouthful of water if you put it in upside down.

There have been no problems to date
5/5

The safety second on which I am diving has seven dives. I have been testing it at 30 feet and it has worked great. Sometimes, I will switch back and forth between my primary and safety second just to make sure they work. In spite of the scorching sun and harsh conditions at the beach, breathing is easy. As a result of using this reg there are no free flows from my system.

The octopus was of great quality at a very fair price
5/5

I love the quality of Aqua Lung. It's great that you can use this octopus top or bottom up, and you won't have to worry about flipping it around for your buddy when they need The food may be eaten within a few minutes if I am in a hurry.

Testing has confirmed that it works
4/5

I have tested the mouthpiece several times and it works every time. It is the clip that is supplied with it that is causing me problems. I do not recommend it. It is a very cheaply built clip, and the second stage constantly comes loose while diving. The clip I bought since has a better retention.

It breathes well like a more costly unit despite its low profile
5/5

My first reason for liking the AquaLung Octopus was how low-profile it was (it stayed very close to the chest and didn't get in the way) yet the device breathed like a higher quality (bulkier) There is a good reputation for the brand In addition, there are some points in favor of that aspect My buddy always asks me how it breathes every time I use it with him or her. Every time, I get the same feedback I am satisfied. The fact that they had used up every last drop of air in the tank left them with no choice. Although it doesn't seem to be problematic and I've used it in water temperatures as low as 30 degrees without having any freezing up issues. It's small, simple, reliable, a good quality brand, and it's reasonably priced.
