If your extreme cold diving requires the Legend Glacia™ regulator, then this is the complimentary octopus that you need
Fitted with an aluminum cover machined from solid metal. The metal cover, apart from assisting the heat exchange, accommodates a purge button with flow control
Heat exchangers surrounding the valve & in the middle of the hose provide excellent freezing resistance

New asymmetrical Side-X exhaust system (pat. pend.) routes bubbles out of your viewing area
Exhaled breath passes over the second stage valve effectively warming it, thereby making it resistant to freezing
The venturi control & breathing resistance knob have been integrated into one Dual Cam controller (pat. pend.). Divers can now achieve ideal settings with less to think about
This pneumatically-balanced octopus is ideally suited for all high performance regulators including over-balanced first stage
Yellow front cover, hose & accents allow unit to be easily located in the event of an out-of-air situation

Apeks XTX50 Octopus
The XTX50 regulator can be converted from a right handed hose configuration (as supplied from the APEKS factory in the standard) to a left handed one. This feature is known as the Reversible Venturi System (RVS). Changing the regulator to a left handed configuration is both quick & simple & can be performed by any APEKS Authorised Service Technician.
The XTX50 regulator incorporates the new feature of Diver Changeable Exhausts system (DCE). This system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user a choice of the wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) & the narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator (ideal for use as an octopus regulator).
The XTX50 regulator incorporates a new two-shot high strength plastic front cover, improving the durability of the most vulnerable part of the demand valve.
The new ergonomic Venturi lever of the XTX50 has been designed to reduce the amount of grit ingress.
A new swivel hose connection is available at an extra cost. This allows the demand valve end of the hose connection to rotate & pivot, providing a more comfortable fit.
A new silicone exhaust valve has been used on the XTX50 regulator improving breathing performance.

Product Weight Calculator
Compact dimensions & low weight blend comfort with a unique diving experience The Mikron Octopus is pneumatically balanced to provide top performance
It has an adjustment knob that allows the diver to optimize the opening effort. In the “Mini” position, the opening effort is increased, which is ideal for avoiding free flows. In the “Maxi” position, the inhalation effort is reduced, reducing the work of breathing
The reduced size and weight makes the Mikron the ideal choice for children and young adults

Scubapro AIR 2
The name "AIR" stands for Alternate Inflator Regulator - this concept was invented by SCUBAPRO engineers in 1979 & integrates in the same housing, a regulator second stage & a balanced inflator.
The AIR 2 is fixed at the end of the corrugated hose of any BC & is fed by interstage pressure from the first stage with a quick coupling, thus eliminating one hose.
Often copied but never equaled, this system can be assembled on any SCUBAPRO or competitor BC & eliminates the need for a back up regulator (octopus).
This highly advanced self-flushing SCUBAPRO system is compact & streamlined. When needed, the Air 2 allows the diver to breathe normally as from any second stage.
While breathing the diver can simultaneously & rapidly inflate the BC with its high flow balanced power inflator & fantastic precision.
This progressive inflator is an important feature for safety & controlling the ascent. The BC can also be deflated by partially depressing the rectangular purge button.
Poseidon X-Stream Octopus
With an octopus you have a backup if your dive partner’s regulator should fail. If he or she uses a Poseidon regulator you should not have any use for the octopus.
