Just bought the Scubapro R195 Octopus and used it for a few dives in Tioman. I like the bright yellow hose—very easy to spot underwater. Breathing felt smooth and the mouthpiece didn’t tire out my jaw even after a long dive.

Is the hose on the Scubapro R195 Octopus really one meter long? I’m planning to use it as a backup for my technical diving setup.

Hi Rachel, yes, the R195 Octopus comes with a 39-inch (approximately 1 meter) bright yellow hose, making it suitable as a backup for technical diving configurations.
Suresh Menon –
The regulator works well but the purge button felt a bit stiff initially when I tried it with gloves on. Otherwise, it’s a solid backup and seems very durable.
