Scubapro Air 2 5th Generation – Octopus + BCD Inflator In 1 Compact Unit!
Scubapro Air 2 Octopus + BCD Inflator, the 5th Generation Of This Alternate Air Source Inflator Regulator. Air 2 combines a fully functioning quality octopus with a balanced BCD inflator in one compact unit. A popular option with travelling divers due to its compact nature.
We can fit the Air 2 to ANY BCD!
The cool thing about an octo/inflator is that it’s always within reach because it’s constantly being used to control your buoyancy!
In the event of an emergency there’s no need to grope for a dangling octo reg. You simply pass your primary reg to the diver in need while you take the octo/inflator yourself. This means you can breathe easily and control your buoyancy as you and your buddy safely ascend.
SCUBAPRO introduced the octo/inflator concept to diving almost thirty years ago with the original AIR2 (Alternate Inflator Reg). Now in its 5th generation, it offers even more in both performance and ease of use.
Air 2 As An Octopus Regulator
AIR2 delivers air as smoothly as most primary second stages. The flexible purge cover is large and easy to locate This allows for quick clearing when it comes time to taking a breath.
In addition, a new dive/pre-dive switch lets you detune the AIR2 when it’s not being used, eliminating free flows. And unlike traditional dangling octos, the AIR2 is always within easy reach if needed.
Air 2 As A BCD Inflator
As a power inflator the AIR2 is very easy to use. It fits comfortably in the hand, and the large inflate and deflate buttons can be differentiated by both colour and touch, improving safety on both ascents and descents.
The power inflate button features a very light lever so it’s easy to initiate inflation. Also, both inflate and deflate buttons are positioned on top of the housing. This makes them easier to operate when breathing off the unit without having to change hand positions.
If you want a reliable backup reg that’s always within easy reach, that does double-duty as a BC inflator/deflator, and that streamlines your dive profile by eliminating a dangling octo hose, you’re going to love the AIR2. It was diving’s first octo/inflator and, with five generations of improvements, it’s still the best.
