PRODUCT DETAILS
Backup Visibility. Donation-Ready Routing. EGRESS-Level Innovation.
The Apeks EGRESS Octopus is a stand-alone alternate second stage created for divers who want their backup reg to be streamlined, visible, and buddy-share optimised — not bulky, not stiff, and never hard to spot when it matters.
Share air the smarter way
A unique 120° mouthpiece-to-hose angle places the reg naturally and comfortably in-use during gas donation, reducing neck pull and making air sharing cleaner and calmer. The 36” braided yellow hose keeps routing flexible over either shoulder, and instantly identifies your backup gas feed in an out-of-air emergency.
Low profile, high composure
Designed to reduce drag and sit close to the diver’s body, the low-profile housing stays neatly stowed, out of your way, and snag-resistant during shore exits, valve drills, or line work. The oversized purge can be operated either way up, and breathes with smooth consistency whether positioned right-side-up or inverted — dependable stability without orientation drama.
Bright by design
Bold yellow colour-coding maximises visibility in low-viz water, murky panic moments, or during emergency training — providing immediate recognition for both you and your buddy. It’s not a cosmetic choice, it’s a safety signal.
Cold-water compatibility without clause confusion
Used with any environmentally sealed first stage from the Apeks line, it becomes a capable cold-water backup, ready for UK winter dives and coastal layers. On unsealed first stages, it’s best suited for warmer waters — but when paired with a sealed front end, it carries the cold-water credentials to match.
Why divers trust it as a stand-alone octo:
✔ 120° donation-optimised hose angle
✔ Braided 36” yellow hose for instant identification
✔ Ultra low-profile, drag-minimising housing
✔ Breathes smoothly in any orientation
✔ Glove-friendly, self-flushing oversized purge
✔ Shoulder-agnostic hose routing
✔ High-visibility yellow for panic-moment recognition
✔ Cold-capable when paired with sealed 1st stages
Smoother sharing. Smarter stowage. Brighter backup.
Because when your buddy needs air — they don’t need to search for it.
