Comments about Cressi Cressi XS Octopus:

Great Octopus! Used during my open water training course and dives. Like it so much I decided to purchase my own. Yellow hose is easy to distinguish underwater and this octo functions just as good as a primary reg if necessary. Used during cold and warm water dives.

Great buy for the cash.

Comments about Cressi Cressi XS Octopus:

I've been using it for over a year and the only problem I have experienced is occassional freeflow when I first enter the water and that may be attributed to me not adjusting it before I dive. Other than that I've had no issues with it.

Great price for great octo.

This price finally got me to replace my old octo. Can't beat it. The Octo is as comfortable as my dacor reg. Maybe even more comfortable. I'm very happy with the price and the product was more than i expected.

Comments about Cressi Cressi XS Octopus:

I have used this Octo for over a year as a Dive Master and on my own trips. It functions perfectly, is easy to adjust, and the flow adjustment actually works. My wife has used in pool and open water practice (Bonaire) and really likes it. I am buying her one as well. I spoke to a service rep at Cressi who told me it is actually built for 50% O2. So it is way above standard for enriched air diving.

Comments about Cressi Cressi XS Octopus:

I have an issue with this equipment every time I dive. For the most part it's a good solid octo, when it's in your mouth. But no matter how I adjust the the thing it manages to free flow or have a solid leak of air almost every time I dive. The unit is brand new and I'm not impressed at all. My reg is a delta 4 and ofcourse there is no comparison but you still expect it to function properly.My advice is spend a few extra bucks and save yourself the headache.
