Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ScubaPro R105 octopus, and do I need one?
The R105 is ScubaPro's dedicated alternate air source — the backup second stage your buddy breathes from in an out-of-air situation, and standard equipment for virtually all recreational diving. It uses a reliable classic downstream valve with a metal valve housing, a dive/pre-dive VIVA switch, and a high-visibility yellow 39-inch hose with an oversized bore so it is easy to locate and deploy in an emergency.
Will the R105 octopus work with my regulator setup?
The R105 connects to any standard low-pressure port on your first stage, making it ScubaPro's universal alternate air source across their regulator systems. The hose attachment is also reversible, so it routes cleanly on either side — which is why divers also use it on pony bottles and deco tanks.
What does the pre-dive switch on the R105 do?
The VIVA dive/pre-dive switch controls the venturi assist. Set to pre-dive, it resists free-flow while the octopus hangs unattended at the surface or during descent — the most common annoyance with backup regulators. Flip it to dive and it breathes with full venturi assistance when it is actually needed.
