Is this octopus compatible with non-Sherwood regulators? My main reg is another brand, so I want to make sure there won’t be any issues.

Very happy with this octopus—breathing feels smooth and effortless even when I was deeper than 20 metres. The yellow hose makes it easy to spot for my dive buddy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable backup.

Ravi Menon –
After several trips, I find the mouthpiece very comfortable, but the yellow colour has faded a bit after heavy use. Still, it performs very well under pressure and no issues with airflow.
