Product Information
The DiveCatalog Velcro Tear Away Octopus Holder is a hook-and-loop octopus retainer that secures an alternate air source to a BCD and lets it be pulled free in one motion. It holds the octopus second stage against the harness during normal diving, then releases under a firm pull so the regulator can be deployed quickly in an out-of-air situation.
Who it is for
This holder suits any diver who carries an alternate air source and wants it in a fixed, known place instead of dangling. Because it attaches to standard BCD webbing and D-rings, it works in recreational, technical and rescue configurations.
Key details
- Closure: hook-and-loop with a tear-away release, so a firm pull frees the second stage.
- Holds: an octopus or alternate air source second stage.
- Mounting: standard BCD webbing and D-rings.
- Benefit: keeps the octopus out of the silt and off the reef, and stops the second stage from dragging behind the diver.
- Findability: a fixed, predictable position means the diver or a buddy can locate the regulator without searching.
Compatibility and sizing
The holder is designed to attach to standard BCD webbing and D-rings. If you are unsure where it should sit on your particular harness, we are happy to walk through placement with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tear-away release work?
The holder uses a hook-and-loop closure that grips the octopus second stage during normal diving. The hook-and-loop closure releases under a firm pull, so the second stage comes free in one motion, allowing the regulator to be deployed quickly in an out-of-air situation while still staying put the rest of the dive.
Where should I mount the octopus holder on my BCD?
It attaches to standard BCD webbing and D-rings, so choose a fixed position you and your buddy can reach without searching.
Will this fit a technical harness or a rescue setup?
Yes. Because it mounts to standard BCD webbing and D-rings rather than a proprietary bracket, the holder suits recreational, technical and rescue configurations.
Why use a holder instead of letting the octopus hang?
A free-hanging second stage drags behind the diver, picks up silt and can contact the reef. This holder keeps the octopus in a fixed, known position against the harness, out of the silt and off the reef, and lets a buddy locate your alternate air source immediately in an emergency.
