Aqualung ABS Octopus Dive Regulator
Offer an alternate air source from either side with the Aqualung ABS. The angle between its hose and mouthpiece is designed for left- or right-hand positioning, making it a useful option when you want a compact octopus that does not depend on one donation orientation.
Features and benefits
- Either-side positioning. The angled hose-to-mouthpiece layout lets you offer the ABS from either side without forcing an awkward bend in the hose.
- Visible alternate air source. The yellow hose and cover make the octopus easier to distinguish from your primary regulator when locating and deploying it.
- Mouthpiece comfort. The shaped silicone mouthpiece supports a comfortable, secure hold without adding unnecessary bulk at the mouth.
- Quick-release mounting clip. The supplied clip keeps the octopus stowed in a known position while allowing it to be released for use.
Setup and compatibility
Use as an alternate second stage in a compatible regulator system, with hose routing and stowage matched to your training and equipment.
Care, rinsing and storage
Clean this component as part of a complete, correctly assembled regulator system. After each dive, connect the assembled regulator to a scuba cylinder and open the valve to pressurise the system. Keep it pressurised while fully submerging the first stage, second stages and connected hoses in fresh water. This allows thorough cleaning of the exposed components and hoses while helping prevent water entering the internal air passages, where it can cause corrosion and damage. Keep the cylinder secure throughout cleaning.
For routine cleaning, Dive Gear Australia recommends Cressi Neoclean Wetsuit Wash Neoprene Cleaner 500 mL or Revivex Wetsuit Shampoo 10 oz to help remove salt, chlorine and everyday residue. Dilute according to the cleaner’s label, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Keep the regulator pressurised throughout washing and rinsing. Lift it out of the water and dry the first stage and cylinder connection before closing the cylinder valve, releasing the pressure and disconnecting. Fit the clean, dry dust cap, then allow the regulator to dry in the shade. Store it with the hoses loosely curved, without sharp bends or tension.
Before each dive, inspect the mouthpiece, hoses and connections for wear or damage. Have your regulator serviced by an authorised Aqualung technician at the interval specified in its manual, or sooner if it leaks, is damaged or its breathing performance changes. Leave internal adjustments and repairs to a qualified technician.
