You simply replace your inflator hose with the sidekick and remove your octo if you wish. This makes sure your octo is always within ready reach, while requiring no modifications to your BCD.

Comments about Genesis Genesis "Sidekick" Octopus GS065:
i put it on my wife's rig. it breathes good but, does have a freeflow issue at or near the surface. it needs a shorter inflator hose for women's bc. i recommend spending the extra $40-$50 and get one that permanately mounts to the flex hose. if you don't use it much, it's great. the "one less hose" is a great safety feature for us spearfishing on the oil and gas platforms in the gulf.

Comments about Genesis Genesis "Sidekick" Octopus GS065:
I wanted to streamline myself a little bit and having a safe second inflator can't be beat. That being said, because this is "in-line" and not a true replacement hoes...it IS a little bulkier than some of the more expensive models out there. If you're diving on a very regular basis (50 or more times a year) I might consider spending the extra money on a more compact unit. Otherwise, it's a good product. Breathes well all around...upside down, at 130 feet, etc.

Have dove almost fifty dives with this product and so far it doesn't leak. My Zeagle Octoplus leaked after only a few dives and has never stopped.
