Bright in color for easy identification in an emergency, this Octopus Holder with Split Ring attachment will retain your Alternate Air Source were you attach it to your equipment until you need it. Won't allow Octopus to drag along the bottom collecting sand or destroying the reef, Octopus Holder also helps prevent free-flow from accruing when entering the water or when encountering a current. Octopus Holder can protect your regulator mouthpiece when you stow your equipment after diving.

Comments about Aqua Skum-Ball Octopus Holder with Clip:

This was the only Octo keeper that would fit my new octo but it annoyingly causes freeflows. I had to fiddle with it at the beginning of each of my 25 dives I made last week. I think I'll be punching some venting holes in it.

Comments about Aqua Skum-Ball Octopus Holder with Clip:

This causes my reg to hang mouthpiece up, and the reg freeflows in that position. Annoying, but as much the regs fault as it is the scumball. Below 20ft it works fine.

Good product, but the material that it is made of does not last more than about two years. They always tear lose where the ring meets the ball. I have had several and they all do the same thing.

Comments about Aqua Skum-Ball Octopus Holder with Clip:

This thing works. The Reg is easy to put in and it comes out with a slight pull. The resistance in my opinion is not enough to pull the mouth piece off (unless its not on properly) like another review states. It does tend to cause the octo to freeflow if you dont let it fill with water before you insert the oct, it will eventually stop but easy just to let some water in. A couple small holes may stop this also. Main point my reg NEVER comes out unless I pull it.

The Name Says It All....

Pros:

Easy To Use, Functional, Holds Well, Improves Diving Experience, Lightweight, Stylish

Describe Yourself:

Advanced Diver

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Skum-Ball Octopus Holder with Clip:

This little extra holds the octopus very well. It kept all the “skum” out of the octo mouthpiece. It a big improvement over those cheaply made octo holders that you cant put the mouthpiece in or those that fall out during the dive.

It worked well. It kept the octopus where I needed it and kept the sand out of the mouthpiece. It was easy to use, just pull on the octopus and push to insert.

Not fantastic

By "E" from Detroit, MI on 4/18/2007

Pros:

Inexpensive

Cons:

Poor Construction

Best Uses:

Recreation, Warm Water

Describe Yourself:

Advanced Diver

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Skum-Ball Octopus Holder with Clip:

If you poke a couple of holes in the side opposite the reg opening it will save you LOTS of grief at depth trying to pull it out. Also have had problems causing air dumping (free flow) at depth. Have heard of ppl losing mouth piece from these holding their octo too well. Buyer be warned!
