Replaces loose, hanging octo
Compatible with all Mares BC's - except with BC's that have the AirTrim Systems

The Integrated Octo works great. What they dont tell you is it comes with a kit to make it work on most B.C.s. Adapters, ties, and the pins for dump valve. Also the LP Quick connect hose is light weight braided. If you travel, the weight loss (no separate octo and hose)will help. The Reg functions well but not like a high $ octo. Breathing is a little hard, but it WORKS. Large fill and dump buttons, works good with cold water gloves. Old schoolers are used to the separate octo. This one is always right there. Nothing to "find" and unclip, just jam it in your pie hole and breath!

Questions and Answers for Mares Alt Air Control Integrated Octo:
Bansi:
Does this inflator-octo have a problem with buttons getting stuck? Some people who bought this have reported this problem ..... perhaps Mares solved it by now.

:
We have not run across any problems with these units. Poor care and maintenance is sometimes why divers have problems with these.
Joe:
What size corrugated hose does this Octo fit?

This uses an 3/4 inch corragated hose and ONLY fit the MARES BCs.
