The Poseidon Cyklon Metal Octopus is a beast of a regulator! I’ve used it for several deep dives, and it’s been incredibly reliable and easy to breathe through. The metal construction also makes it feel solid and durable. My only minor complaint is that the second-stage purge button could be a bit easier to press.

The Poseidon Cyklon Metal Octopus is incredibly durable and easy to clean. However, it does leak a bit when you purge it. How does this affect the air supply?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Poseidon Cyklon Metal Octopus. Leaks during the purge process can indeed affect the air supply, but rest assured that this regulator is designed to handle such issues. The leak you’re experiencing may be due to the regulator’s O-rings and seals, which need to be checked and replaced periodically. We recommend regularly inspecting these components to prevent any loss of air supply. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to have you as a customer!
