Constructed from ultra-light technopolymer, it offers durability and resistance to abrasion, making it suitable for warm and temperate waters. The octopus features Mares' patented Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) system, which directs air to the mouthpiece, creating a vortex that maintains diaphragm pressure during inhalation, ensuring sensitive and easy breathing at all depths. Equipped with a 100 cm (39.4 inches) Superflex braided hose in yellow, it provides maximum freedom of movement and is exceptionally flexible. The oversized purge button allows for easy operation, even when wearing thick gloves. The Dual Octopus is also Nitrox ready up to 40% oxygen out of the box.
