Rating: Nice product
Reviewer: Robert Hooser,
Works great. It may take a little time to get used to the button locations. BCDs should come this way. One less hose to handle and worry about knocking into the coral. I would recommend any newbie to buy their BCD with one of these.

Excellent choice, it´s really amazing how just one less hose can make your dive easier and comfortable. I had to practice switching between regulator and airII, but is ok!

Rating: Great Buy
Reviewer: Dwight C.,
Some people dont like the idea of Air II because if need of alternate air source then your Air II is now a inflator/deflator and air source. Regardless I love it, if a place has a problem with it i just put my octo back on the first stage. Great buy, great product and would recommend it to anyone. Only downside it makes your hose kinda long.

Rating: XS II works fine
Reviewer: Patrick M., - View all my reviews
Ive only used the safe second just to try it out on my last four dives and it breathes easy and its nice to lose the octopus hose. The BCD inflates easy as well. I just wish the buttons were arranged a little more ergonomically. Its a great product.

Reduces the amount of hoses and gear which is always nice.
Love it. Easy to use, very well thought out. All information is easy to see as the displays are large (and I need reading glasses). Highly recommended.
Scuba.com deserves 6 stars as my order was placed at 5:00p.m. and arrived at my door at 10:00a.m. the next morning, everything exactly as we ordered and just in time for our trip to Cartagena. The recommendations made by their customer service were excellent.

Works well at all depths. Purges nicely and is an easy breather. I would get one again without a doubt.

Rating: .....just needs adjusted
Reviewer: Dana H.,
The Oceanic Air XS II started out great! I love the inline feel, out of the way. The position of the inflate deflate are easier to use than some of the reviews I read. After 6 days it started to free flow. After the 10th day it leaked too much to be able to use it. It just needs to be adjusted, I just didnt think it would need adjusting so soon. Minor detail, I love the product.

Rating: One less hose, but could be better
Reviewer: Jung K., - View all my reviews
The Oceanic Air XS II works just as advertised. It was relatively easy for me to replace the inflator on my BC. My BC must have come with a slightly different hose than the Air XS was meant for. The Air XS came with a clip thats supposed to cover the hose connector, but it wont fit on my hose.
The inflator and the purge valve are easy to find. But the dump button is kind of small and will take some time for me to locate without looking.
I am happy with the Air XS II and very happy to get rid of one hose. Im sorry I waited so long to make the change.

I am very much a fan of this item becuase it gives me a back up source of air if needed without taking up much room. I have less hose hanging from me so it makes it easier to get around under water. I would recommend this item.
Typically this will only fit Oceanic or Aeris BCDs. The corragated hose inside diameter is 3/4".

I have a Oceanic Biolite BC. Can I use the corrugated hose that is currently on the BC or would I need to get a new corrugated hose?
Bill (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
You just need to change the inflator and use the original corrugated hose.
One is better than two. Combine your alternate air source and BC inflator into one low profile, streamlined package.
Purchase installed with a new BC or easily add to any Oceanic BC in minutes Compact, integrated design eliminates the bulk of a traditional octopus and hose No need to search in an emergency for an octo that is rarely used- the Air XS 2 is always right where you need it Ergonomic design for ease of use Integrated pull-ball (COMPLETE UNIT ONLY) allows activation of the cable exhaust valve while using the Air XS 2
