The evolution
The evolution of the species? Now it's no longer a problem: Air Control! The new mares alternative air source, offers the option to use the same hose for the octopus and the inflator. The pre-oriented mouthpiece makes it usable as a quick and easy octopus. The cover features the mesh-grid system, made of soft material so the purge button is easy to push, even when wearing gloves. It complies with EC standards and can be assembled easily on any inflator hose.

Comments about Mares Mares Air Control Octopus:
Really nice not having another hose to deal with. Worked as expected. Does not breath as nicely as my primary (no surprise). Buttons are well marked and easy to use for BCD control even with 3/5 mil gloves. There isn't alot of protection around some of the internal valves and I am a little concerned about long term durability but nothing has effected it over the last year of use. I do enjoy the integrated concept and wouldn't change a thing. Fits the Mares BCD perfectly.
