AIR BALANCED BACKUP BREATHER
This octo reg delivers lots of air effortlessly when you
-- or your dive buddy -- need it most.
If you're going to dive with a safe second (and you definitely
should) the last thing you want to do is scrimp on your backup
breather. On the contrary, you want to choose a safe second stage
that's every bit as good as a primary second stage. In
SCUBAPRO-speak, that's called the S360 OCTO.
The lightweight techno-polymer S360 is an easy-breathing
air-balanced second stage used on a number of quality SCUBAPRO reg
systems. It comes with pre-tuned inhalation for simplicity, and
includes a Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) switch for easy
detuning to avoid free flows. This makes for a sweet-breathing
primary second stage, and it's also the ideal set-up for use as a
backup breather.
The S360 OCTO takes the standard S360 second
stage and adds a high visibility yellow cover so it's easy to see,
and a 39-inch yellow hose that makes it easy to share with a buddy
in need. With the balanced airflow you get consistent air delivery
regardless of depth, adding a level of security and confidence when
you need it the most.
When you need a safe second you want the best -- that's the
S360 OCTO.
