Scuba Octos

Your Scuba Octo is a crucial component of your scuba gear, serving as your backup (or safe second) breathing apparatus. These devices typically share the same components as your primary regulator and offer similar benefits and characteristics. You'll find two main styles available: 1) a traditional octo connected to your first stage with a hose, or 2) an integrated Octo/Inflator on your BCD. Both styles have their own advantages, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your preferences and diving needs.

1. Traditional Octo: Connected to your first stage with a hose, this style offers reliability and simplicity.
2. Integrated Octo/Inflator: Integrated into your BCD, this style combines your backup regulator with your BCD inflator, streamlining your scuba gear setup.

Both styles have their benefits, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your preferences and diving style.
