Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN – Octopus / Inflator combines a backup regulator with a BC s buoyancy control system in one compact, at-the-ready unit. The cool thing about an octo/inflator is that it s always within reach because it s constantly being used to control descents, adjust buoyancy, and vent air during ascents. In the event of an emergency there s no need to grope for a dangling octo reg; simply pass your primary reg to the diver in need while you take the octo/inflator, enabling you to breathe easily and control your buoyancy as you make your way safely back to the surface.

I’m really impressed with how easy it is to attach and detach the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator from the BCD. However, what if I got a kink in the hose and needed to do an emergency replacement?

What are the implications of carrying a redundant regulator system on a dive? Is it worth the added weight and complexity? I purchased the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator with the intention of carrying a backup regulator in case of an emergency.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lena. Carrying a redundant regulator system, like the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator, can have significant implications on a dive. The added weight and complexity of a backup regulator may impact a diver’s mobility and overall experience. However, the benefits of having a redundant system far outweigh the drawbacks. In the event of an emergency, having a backup regulator gives you peace of mind and ensures your safety. This can be invaluable in situations where a primary regulator fails. Weighing the pros and cons, we believe the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator is worth carrying, especially for experienced divers who prioritize safety. Have you had a chance to use the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator on any dives yet?

I’ve had a bit of a frustrating experience with my Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator – the hose seems to get tangled easily, and it doesn’t always inflate with the smooth flow I’d like. It’s a minor annoyance, but it’s enough to keep me from giving it a 5-star review.
Zara Teh –
I’m absolutely thrilled with the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator! The compact design and ease of use made it a breeze to adjust to. One of my favorite features is the ability to control descents and adjust buoyancy with just a couple of hand movements. The build quality is top-notch, and I feel confident that it will withstand even the most rigorous diving conditions.

I recently purchased this Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus/Inflator, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance. The compact design makes it easy to carry around and access when needed. The regulator is smooth to breathe through, and the inflator works efficiently. However, I do wish it came with a built-in gauge for easier monitoring of depth and air supply.
Natalie Leong –
What if I’m diving in cold water and I need more air supply?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Natalie, thank you for your review of the Scubapro AIR2 5th GEN Octopus / Inflator. Although the octo/inflator is designed for a quick air supply in an emergency situation, in cold water, having a sufficient air supply is crucial. We recommend using a larger tank size or planning a dive with more air reserve to prevent low air supply. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. We also invite other users to share their experiences with deep water diving in regards to air supply.
Celia Tan –
Overall, I’m pleased with this product, but there’s one thing that would make it more user-friendly – a slight modification to the size of the regulator to make it more comfortable to hold in the mouth. The design is still great, and I appreciate the effort Scubapro put into creating a reliable and compact octopus/inflator.
