Comforting for both my Dive buddy and I to know that we have a Cressi-Sub Ellipse Octopus available should my buddy run out of air or something ever goes wrong with my primary regulator. Just the peace of mind that this Octopus will never fail you when you need it most.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Ellipse Octopus:

This is obviously the perfect companion Octo for my Ellipse Titanium Alaska setup, which is why I purchased it. I also added a 360* swivel and a longer mouthpiece for added comfort and to most closely duplicate my primary setup, because I'm a firm believer in redundancy and familiarity. For all practical purposes since I've had my Ellipse Titanium tightened up a bit, at this point the only noticeable difference between my primary and this Octo is a few grams and the color.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Ellipse Octopus:

Very reliable octopus. I use it with the Cressi-Sub Ellipse Alaska Regulator so it can also be used in cold water and extreme depth. During rescue szenarios it the hose was long enough and during the dive not too long.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Ellipse Octopus:

The all plastic design scared me the first time I had it serviced, I dove a conshelf for years, but it breathes EASY. It has a limited warranty of 12 months, but if you buy a Zeagle you get a limited LIFETIME warranty.

Although the thing is supposed to have a pre-dive mode to prevent free-flows, I found it to go on free-flow quite often. The purge button needs to be pressed with a hammer to operate.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Ellipse Octopus:

This thing breaths really good and is adjustable to prevent free flow. Its light in your mouth which reduces fatigue. The only negative is the very small area that you have to push for purging. You have to get your finger on it just right or your pushing on the body of the reg too and not getting much purge.
