Questions about this item:

Shopper What is the weight of this item?

JEFFERY E For shipp

SARAH B 0.4 lbs approximately

JOSHUA S If you are worried about weight I would get the buddy air that the navy seals used for the past decade or so. I would have bought one if they were available when I got this. This one is the lightest normal style I could find at the time, but the MV octopus could be lighter as well. It's attached to everything and I don't want to take it apart to weigh it sorry :)

Shopper What is the difference between this (old Style Slimline Octopus) and the Slimline 2 Octopust, except for the prices?

Brett H They updated the graphics on the yellow purge button (not much of a difference).

Shopper Does this octo have a first stage?

LeisurePro S No, this product is just the octo second stage and a LP hose that attaches to your primary regulator's first stage.

Shopper Will I be able to connect this octopus in a Mares R2 DFC Axis Pro Mares regulator? Thank you

LeisurePro S Yes, there should be no problem

Shopper is this a good octupus.

LeisurePro S This ia a good, super basic octopus for a beginning recreational diver.

Shopper does it come with a yellow hose? length?

LeisurePro S Yes, comes with a 39" yellow hose.

Shopper Is this Octo Nitrox compatable?

LeisurePro S up to 40%

Comments from people who bought this product:

JOSHUA S small, but I would get the air buddy octo now which was not available then.

ARTHUR M Simple, price and function.

Slim profile was a pro, but like other users I realised that only about 2 years after buying it, I found the yellow purge button had disintegrated into 6-7 pieces. Hopefully I can find a spare button, but will have to got back to my reserve occy to protect the diaphragm of the SlimLine.

Comments about Oceanic Slimline Octopus, Yellow "Old Style":

OK octopus. Breathes well and does not free flow. BUT, the purge button has cracked and got broken in little pieces after about 10 dives. No hard hit or inapropriate use what so ever. Seems like the good price is a reflex of the cheap material.

Comments about Oceanic Slimline Octopus, Yellow "Old Style":

Great value for an alternate air source, this is part of my novice value set up. I like the slim profile, easy of use, and reliability. Never had any problems of free flow with this regulator when entering the water unlike some I have seen and used in the past.

Excellent value for your first setup if you are concious of every penny you are spending.
