SCUBAPRO AIR2 5th Generation Inflator Octopus is designed for divers and water users who want reliable performance, comfort and confidence in the water. The SCUBAPRO AIR2 5th Generation Inflator Octopus is designed for divers who want a cleaner, more streamlined alternative to a traditional separate octopus. By combining buoyancy control and emergency breathing into one unit, it keeps your backup air source positioned exactly where your inflator is always located.
SCUBAPRO AIR2 5th Generation Inflator Octopus Overview
The SCUBAPRO AIR2 5th Generation is a combined BCD inflator and alternate air source designed for use with compatible SCUBAPRO BCD systems. It replaces the standard inflator assembly with a compact unit that can inflate, deflate and function as an emergency second stage when required.
Because the AIR2 sits at the end of the BCD corrugated hose, it remains easy to locate during the dive. This makes it a practical option for divers who prefer a streamlined regulator setup without a separate dangling octopus.
The 5th Generation AIR2 is designed with improved breathing performance, ergonomic controls and larger inflate and deflate buttons for easier operation. When used for breathing, the adjustment knob should be turned to the DIVE position, and buoyancy control remains available while the unit is being breathed from.
This product includes the AIR2 Inflator Octopus only unless your supplier states otherwise. It does not include a BCD, regulator first stage, primary second stage, low-pressure inflator hose, corrugated hose assembly, cylinder, pressure gauge, tools, service parts or any other accessories unless supplied separately. Installation and servicing should be carried out by a qualified dive equipment technician.
