Brand: Scubapro

Located in: Essential Equipment, Octopuses

This octopus offers an ideal balance of quality, comfort, and reliability. The R295 regulator's downstream valve means you can dive breathing easily - both literally and figuratively. The R295 has a reversible hose action, which means it will accommodate your buddy, regardless of he/she is right or left-handed. The highly-visible yellow color means your octopus can be seen - even in less than perfect water conditions; in emergency situations, the last thing you want is an octopus that can't be easily found.

The R295's streamline design, minimal weight, and orthodontic silicone mouthpiece mean jaw fatigue and pain won't be a hindrance for your buddy while he/she is breathing via your octopus. The streamline shape also means the experience of gear drag is a thing of the past. Just as important as the R295's smooth diaphragm action is SCUBAPRO's guarantee of unsurpassed quality and workmanship.

This VIVA-patented system uses the power of a vacuum assist to reduce work of breathing and increase breathing comfort. It is diver-adjustable on all current SCUBAPRO second stages.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro R295 Octopus, Yellow:

Got this as my backup...

On my last dive, it was performing better than my primary, which was leaking on kickout.

Mouthpiece is the same as the S600 and breathes almost as easy...

I honestly think my buddy can't wait to run out of air, just so he can try it!

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro R295 Octopus, Yellow:

I have a Sherwood Oasis with a Dual Octo that works very well. I tried one of our local instructor ScubaPro Mk25/650 combo's and decided to get a Mk25/600 combo for myself. My daughter now uses the Oasis.

I got the ScubaPro R295 as my new Octo and I swear except for the moisturizing function, the R295 is better in every respect than my old primary. My Octo holder plugs the mouthpiece so I don't even have to worry about freeflow issues.

Excelent for the price!!

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro R295 Octopus, Yellow:

It's not as easy to breathe as the primary S555 I'm using with my MK17, but it's a good and specially reliable octopus.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro R295 Octopus, Yellow:

ScubaPro quality speaks for itself. Great Octo. Probably over the top for an octo, but it is smaller in size than the R195 and only slightly more money. Not a hugh difference in ease of breathing between the R295 and the primary reg (ScubaPro S600) at depth (100 ft). Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Service & Delivery comments:

Very Prompt.
