Brand: Aqualung

Located in: Essential Equipment, Octopuses

The New ABS Octopus combines excellent breathing performance with the benefits of a low profile body style. The ABS Octopus exceeds CE breathing requirements for regulators. Versatile design allows proper function when right side up or upside down. Unique 120° angle between hose and mouthpiece: This Aqua Lung innovation is ideal for giving your octopus to a buddy - will work in either righthand or left hand positions. No more sharp bends in the hose or upside down octopuses in the mouth. Custom quick-release mounting clip keeps the ABS properly located on the body at all times. 39" yellow hose easily distinguishes your ABS hose from your primary hose. This high visibility hose is easily spotted in case of an out-of-air emergency

Comments about Aqualung AquaLung ABS Octopus, Yellow:

Regret not buying the legend octo. This reg although small and compact with good ergonomics had issues with free flowing. This reg also let me down on a deep dive as I used it on a pony bottle. Its not adjustable and left me struggling to get good air exchange. I will buy the adjustable legend now.

This is a terrible reg. I made the mistake of buying two. For a few dollars more you can buy the US Divers Aqualung/Titan [made by the same company]which is an excellent AA reg.

Comments about Aqualung AquaLung ABS Octopus, Yellow:

I enjoy the size and functionality of this octo but after 2.5 years it will free flow or trickle air for no reason below 40 feet. Lost quite a bit of air because of it. It has been adjusted 6 times by several authorized dealers and nobody can fix it. I just ordered a different one from leisurepro. [...]
