alternate air sources

Aegir,
I'm leaving for DEMA in the morning, and therefore hope to pick up my long awaited ID2 (Interspiro Divator 2). As for which one I plan on picking up is the new Black one.

The Gray & Beige colored ones are positive pressure, the Gold & Black one's are Demand. I think that the positive pressure one's would waste too much gas when used with open circuit scuba. Demand works better for our applications. I also insist on having the SBV (surface breathing valve) installed to conserve cylinder gas when on the surface. As for pricing keep your eye's and ear's open, I hear the black one will be cheaper than the other's... no promises, I just heard it through a source that I will be talking to again at DEMA, I should have some news for you when I get back next weekend.

Cheers ol Chap, (I think that means I'll talk to ya l8r buddy) LOL!

I've used the Octo "Z" which has superseded tho Octo+. The "Z" performed flawlessly.

Even though this thread is almost 12 years old, the question is valid.

Why would you buy a knockoff, if you could own an original?

The Scubapro A.I.R. II ( Alternate Inflator Regulator ) is the original since 1978, now in it's 4th generation.

Deep Down don't you want the best!

The Octo Z, like the SS1, can be unscrewed and removed from the corrugated hose which was great for cleaning. I was told ScubaPro won't go that route because off liability concerns.
Dont get me wrong. I am all about scubapro. 2 mk 25 s, s600, G 250 V, R 190, Ss plate, 3 computers, 2 wetsuits, gloves, mask and my daughters Bella (with Atomic SS 1)
