The plug seals really well and keeps my octopus mouthpiece clean, even after a few shore dives. However, I found it a bit tricky to clip onto my BCD first time around.

Very sturdy and easy to spot underwater because of the grey color. It really helps prevent my octopus from dangling and getting in the way during my dives.
