DESCRIPTION
Why is the R395 a great offer for your octopus? With its classic downstream valve for safe, reliable performance due to its robust design and low maintenance, 39-inch hose for convenient alternate air source function with yellow hose protector and yellow regulator cover for easy identification, left & right hose attachments for extra flexibility and comfortable positioning, so you cankeep it on whatever side feels is best. Right hand attachment is supplied as standard but the left hand conversion can be performed by an Authorized SCUBAPRO service technician. The R395 compact size and lightweight materials for comfort and reduced drag during the dive, orthodontic silicone mouthpiece in smaller size for perfect fit, gives no gum irritation and less jaw fatigue. R395 Octopus matches all SCUBAPRO first stages. R395 features diver's adjustable VIVA for personal breathing comfort and our R295 has fixed VIVA for safe and uncomplicated use.

    True story: During my open water certification dives, when practicing out of air drills my dive instructor had to use my R395 octo. When we came up out of the water her first words were; "Man that alternate air source breathes nice!" I am very happy with my purchase and Leisurepro's price couldn't be beat.

    This Octo has a tendency to free flow after a cold dive. Prior to the dive it appears to be solid, but sometime during the dive, it changes to a fee-flow machine. Once it free flows, it can only be stopped with a valve turn off! VERY poor design. My A700 second stage is smaller (Scuba Pro needs to look at competitors' Octos to see how out-of-touch their size really is) and does not free flow--even in cold water. Another competitive disadvantage is the lack of a swivel near the R395 reg. Instead, SP installs a heavy strain relief cover over the hose--making it even more difficult to store or use.

    I am now setting up a pony rig and definitely will not keep this octo as part of the setup. Anyone still wanting this, I will sell mine cheap!

          Comments about Scubapro R395 Octopus, Yellow:

          Over all I would recommend this, I even tested it during some dives as a primary (temporary 5-10 minutes of use) and it was great. I really don't like the clip Scuba Pro sells with it. It never seems to stay connected and it ends up dangling below you. A real distractor as I dive. The first few times it happened I ended up stuffing the regulator in my BCD-as best as I could.

            This octo is awesome. Breaths with ease. The mouth piece does hurt the gums after a little bit. I love it and glad I got it.
