High performance with
free-flow control
Lightweight high-performance second stage with a free-flow control. Also
includes a heat sink and has and adjustable cracking pressure.
This is very important in Octopus regulators, since the Pre-Dive position is
much more resistant to Venturi-Free-flows that can sometimes result in
significant air-loss during a dive. The F8 Octopus comes with a Yellow cover and
36" hose.
