    I didn't like having the octo hanging down that I had to make sure was secured the whole time...the Air XS eliminated that problem. It takes a little getting used to the buttons for the BC, but it was cake after that. In open water testing I did with it, it was a whole lot easier(for me)to hand my primary off and use this to get to surface. You also have the comfort of knowing that your backup is right there. I would reccommend having a dive shop install it; it seems pretty easy, but I had problems until my local shop spent a minute on it for a VERY nominal fee.As with almost everything, let the experts save you time and trouble!!!

    Great idea, and work's great for the most part. The only problem I have with the unit is the button placement. I wear 7mm gloves in the local quarry and often found myself hitting both the release and inflate buttons at the same time. It's hard to tell form the picture but the buttons are on the same side of the unit facing the same direction as the mouth piece, separated only by the mouth piece. It was really easy to grab and find but also easy to press the inflate button with the palm or another finger. I just got used to pulling the hose to dump and it worked perfectly. I also did some buddy breathing tests and the unit breathes well at around 30 feet. Keep in mind that with no spare octo you have to give up your primary if someone is out of air.

      Comments about Oceanic Air XS regulator/inflator combination Complete:

      Bought this in conjunction with my Excursion 2 BCD, I have used and liked other integrated systems before and figured Oceanic to Oceanic would be the best way to go but was I wrong! It will not stop free flowing and has caused me to abort dives on at least 2 occasions and has turned out to be more trouble than its worth, for the record my buddy has the same BCD with a Mares integrated unit and has no issues, maybe I'll go with that or back to a regular octo!
