Questions about this item:
Chase A Is this packaged with the clip piece that fits into the mouth guard and can be hooked to a BC?
TONY D Yes, it does come with that BC holder
YURI G Yes, it had that piece
KARLENE W Yes, I am a PADI instructor and the MV octopus is my favorite octopus that I use with my students because it can be used from either side. Typically most octopuses are attached with a snorkel keeper, but I use the included mouth gaurd as the attachment because it protects that octopus as well as making a great attaching mechanism. I just attach the mouth gaurd with a nylon zip tie to an appropriate BC ring
THEODORE T Yes. It does come with a clip piece.
Shopper will the octo fit on the oceanic delta 4.1 reg?
LAWRENCE H Yes, the Mares MV Octopus will fit on the oceanic delta 4.1 reg
MAREK O Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that question.
JEFFREY B I have it on a cressi reg so i cant answer your question but i can recommend it as a good octo. Ive had it for about 25 dives. Used it once during a freeflow issue. worked great while i fixed the cressi. Good price and travels well.
MIKE G I believe it will fit any regulator as it uses a standard fitting on the hose.
Shane e Not sure. I used it with a mares proton reg
NEAL R G Like it very much. Works just like it ought to. Decent price and a reliable item....who could ask for more? Thanks.
VIKKI L yes, the hose screws into one of your low pressure ports
TODD G Not sure. Although it's a very good octo.
TROY B As an Octo attached to the first stage yes. Lp port.
Shopper Can Mares MV octopus be used with Scubapro's MK25 first stage??
ROBERT T This should work with any first stage, including a Scubapro MK25.
ARYAN A I don't see why not. An octopus should fit on any first stage as long as it is a standard first stage. Brand mixing is never a problem in this case...
MICHAEL B I use my MV with an unbalanced OMS first stage on a pony bottle back up,and have tested it at 110 feet with no problems.This is my experience with this product, and I must say,I really do like the compact shape of the reg as it has a natural tendency to lay flat on my B.C.However, nobody will tell you it is O.K. to use these products together due to liability issues. I have never had any problems with my combo.
ROBERT K Yes, that's the setup i have.
KARLENE W I have used several of these alternate air sources and have found them to be very functional and I really like the swivel that allows it to be used in any direction. I have them attached to three different brands of regulators and have experience no problems
Frederic L is this octopus ok for ice diving ??
MICHAEL G Hey Frederic, my answer to you is "no" this reg will not perform in the extreme conditions of ice diving, I bought it strictly as a back-up reg (alternate) and for tropical type diving to which it works really very well. Mares makes a couple of models for ice diving try looking into them... good luck hope this answers your question.
JANICE H I purchased this octopus back in 2007 but I am not an ice diver, so I'm afraid I can't answer that question for you! (I'm a big wuss and think anything less than 76 degrees is too cold for me! ) Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
MIKE G I bought this octopus for my daughter, and she has only used it in warm Caribbean waters. It has a very low profile, and it breathes very easily. According to the literature, I believe it is rated for ice diving.
Dan E Can Mares MV octopus be used with Scubapro's MK17 first stage????
DOUGLAS R yes, can be used with most any first stage..
TROY B Yes. Just screws into a LP on your first stage
VALERIY D Hi Dan,
Of course, no doubt, because the thread of output in the second stage of Scubapro's MK17 first stage (female) is the standard for European manufacturers and the hose of octopus by Mares MV has the same thread of input (male)
Best,
Val
JAMES P As long as you put it on the LP side of the first stage you won't have any problems.
JAMES S Standard Octo, should work fine.
BARRY W Yes, it can be used with any first stage when connected to a low pressure port.
ROBERT K Yes, that what i use with no problems.
YURI G Don't know about MK17, but I use it with Apeks ATX50 with no problems.
Shopper does this octopus come with the mares flex hose?
LeisurePro S Sorry, the MV octo does not come with the flex hose. Check out the Prestige Octopus which comes with the Flex hose.
Shopper Is it Nitrox compatible?
LeisurePro S Yes, to 40%.
Shopper This Octo appears to be the old Dacor Viper are the parts interchangeable?
LeisurePro S Yes, this the same as the old Dacor Viper
Shopper Does this price ($74.95) include the hose?
Shopper Does the Mares MV octopus come with the hose?
Shopper Can Mares MV octopus be used with Apeks ATX50 DST first stage?
LeisurePro S This octo can be used with the ATX50 first stage, though due to the first stage design it may freeflow slightly at depth. An alternative to the mares octo will be the Apeks Egrees Octopus which is balanced and should work very well.
