F8 Octopus

Zeagle F8 Octopus: A Fully Featured Alternate Air Source

Your alternate air source shouldn't be an afterthought. The Zeagle F8 Octopus is a lightweight, high-performance second stage that delivers the user-adjustable features and breathing characteristics typically found in primary regulators, all in a high-visibility package for easy identification.

User-Adjustable Breathing Control:

The F8 Octopus puts you in control of its performance. It features:

• Adjustable Cracking Pressure: A breathing effort control knob allows you to fine-tune the inhalation resistance to your preference.
• Free-Flow Control: A diver-operated Venturi switch with a "Pre-Dive" position, which is critically important in an octopus to help prevent free-flows when it's not in use.

Engineered for Performance and Longevity:

Zeagle has incorporated several advanced features to enhance the operation and service life of the F8:

• Seat-Saving Orifice: A standout feature (compliments of Atomic Aquatics), this patented design retracts the orifice from the breathing tube seat when not in use. This greatly extends the life of the seat before service is required.
• Advanced Materials: A zirconium-plated inlet tube and a redesigned, larger heat sink offer superior corrosion resistance and aid in cold water performance. The seat itself is made of soft silicone molded over a metal insert for a firm, airtight seal.
• Improved Airflow: A new inhalation diaphragm provides excellent tear strength and an improved response time to breathing, while an enhanced exhaust valve ensures dryness and a lower exhalation effort.

Designed for the Diver:

The front cover and adjustment knob use co-molded components for a soft, easy grip, even with gloves. The co-molded silicone mouthpiece is designed for a better fit to help reduce jaw fatigue. For immediate location in an emergency, the F8 Octopus comes standard with a high-visibility yellow cover and a 36-inch (91.4 cm) yellow hose.
