SR2 Octopus has the same extraordinary breathing characteristics as the SR2 regulator. The SR2 octopus is outfitted with distinctive front cover, highly visible yellow hose, and still maintains the Adjustments that the SR2 has. The SR2 octopus utilizes a pneumatically balanced second stage. The second stage contains a SMART demand lever and floating crown which reacts to depressurization and relieves the load on the seat, extending seat life while promoting consistent-performance. Importantly, the Second Stage employs a unique single adjustment point to simultaneously set opening effort and high flow performance with one motion; the need to make separate adjustment therefore has been eliminated.

The size of the SR2 control knob has also been optimized to enable easy location and operation, even for a diver wearing gloves. Most octopus regulators are de-tuned to a higher valve opening effort which can be stressful in an out of air emergency situation, with the adjustment knob; this regulator can be quickly adjusted to breathe as a primary regulator within a breaths-time adding safety to an emergency. The SR2 octopus regulator has a 37" (94cm) Long 3/8" threaded hi-viz yellow low pressure hose and is covered by a 24 month limited warranty with optional free parts for life program (restrictions apply).
