Stylish and reliable protection for your backup regulator

The Oceanarium Octopus Holder perfectly combines a unique marine-life design with essential underwater functionality. Inspired by ocean creatures (such as Whale Sharks, Mantas, and Nudibranchs), this premium accessory allows you to securely streamline your alternative second-stage regulator. It guarantees that your octopus remains firmly inside the safety triangle, keeping it highly visible and instantly accessible for you or your buddy in an out-of-air emergency. It also protects the marine environment by preventing your gear from dragging across delicate coral reefs.

Durable silicone compound and effective free-flow protection

Constructed from a heavy-duty yet flexible premium silicone compound, this holder is engineered to withstand long-term salt water and UV exposure. The flexible pocket snugly encloses the regulator mouthpiece, protecting it from sand, mud, and debris while significantly reducing the risk of accidental free-flows caused by strong currents or surf entries. Featuring a lightweight, corrosion-free hard plastic carabiner clip, it easily attaches to any BCD D-ring or harness configuration.

Technical Specifications

User Manual

Insert the mouthpiece of your backup second-stage regulator (octopus) into the flexible opening of the Oceanarium silicone holder until it is securely seated. Use the integrated carabiner to clip the holder onto a prominent chest D-ring of your BCD or wing harness. In an emergency situation requiring the alternative air source, firmly grasp the octopus regulator body and pull out sharply—the flexible silicone will instantly release the regulator without needing to unclip the carabiner.

How to care for your product

• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every dive in saltwater or chlorinated pools.
• Keep the inside of the silicone pocket clean from sand particles to avoid scratching your mouthpiece.
• Dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight and harsh UV exposure to preserve material elasticity.
• Store loosely inside your equipment bag; do not crush the molded shape under heavy scuba cylinders or lead weights.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will this holder fit my specific regulator brand?

Yes, the flexible nature of the premium silicone pocket provides a universal stretch fit that accommodates standard mouthpieces from almost all major scuba manufacturers.

Is the attachment clip durable enough for rough sea conditions?

Absolutely. The clip is molded from high-grade technical plastic, ensuring it will never rust, corrode, or degrade from saltwater exposure.

Can strong currents cause the octopus to fall out accidentally?

No, the secure latching mechanism of the silicone mold is hydrodynamically optimized. It grips the regulator firmly during heavy currents and only releases upon a deliberate, firm pull by the diver.
