DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Octopus, LP Rubber Hose

With a bright yellow hose and matching cover, the Alpha 8 second stage is a highly visible octopus (alternate second stage) that's easy on the budget.

The Alpha 8's super sturdy ABS/Polycarbonate housing weighs just six ounces and measures just more than two and three-quarter inches in diameter. Even the ring that holds the cover in place is feather light, it's made of anodized aircraft aluminum. The lightweight material and anatomically designed mouthpiece translate into a second stage that won't cause jaw strain. The Alpha 8 can be used with air or nitrox mixtures up to 40 percent right out of the box. In attention grabbing yellow, the Alpha 8 octopus is unmistakable in an emergency.

FEATURES
  • Lightweight ABS/Polycarbonate Housing
  • Anodized Aircraft Aluminum cover Ring
  • Compact Design
  • Anatomical Mouthpiece
  • Extra Long Yellow Hose
  • Nitrox Ready

    I bought this to go with my GT3 CDX5 regulator.
    Its slimmer and did not free flow like the GT3 did.Using it as my alternate second stage. Its easy to see, Never had to use it, but checked it out while diving and worked great, no problems. Im sure it will be very reliable when needed. Again ask Aarron for help, he helped me get the whole set up for a great price.

        Comments about Oceanic Alpha 8 Octopus, Yellow:

        ... I wore out many regulators..used Scubapro Air2 for years ..we got new regs. & decided to this octopus..they both leaked & free flowed, causing us a lot of hassle clearing & re-purging/ We used the ball holder..some said because they hang up caused the problems???. We are glad some users had good luck..we did not!!!. We are going back to the Air2!!!

              I bought this for my trip to Cancun. Leisure Pro was the least expensive I found. Worked well as my aux regulator. I have a Scuba Pro MK25 first stage and there were no issues diving past 100 feet with this.

                This is a very functional octopus and decent quality. It doesn't even compare to my Sherwood SR1 primary, but for an octo it's nice. It does breath a bit hard and I would not recommend this as a primary regulator. Most important is that it does "NOT" free-flow!! What a relief
