Product Information
The AKONA Magnetic Octopus Keeper (part number AKC-13) is a professional magnetic octopus retainer that holds your alternate second stage against your BC until you need it. It uses a two-sectioned magnet, with a snap-clip that attaches to the BC and a hose retainer that mounts on the octo second stage hose, so your backup regulator is always in the same, predictable place.
Who it is for
This keeper is for any recreational or professional diver who wants the octopus stowed and off the sand, out of the coral and out from under the arm on every dive. Instructors, dive guides and divers in training may appreciate a known octopus position during air-sharing drills and out-of-air responses. It is also a simple fix for divers whose alternate air source dangles once their original clip or holder is lost or broken.
Key details
- Two-sectioned magnet: one half rides on the BC, the other on the hose, and the magnetic connection holds the octopus in place until it is pulled free.
- Snap-clip to the BC: a snap-clip secures the keeper to your BC.
- Hose retainer at the second stage: secures to the octo hose near the regulator so the mouthpiece sits where you expect it.
- Two Phillips screws fix the magnet and the hose retainer together.
- SKU AKC-13, UPC 022099925002.
Compatibility and sizing
The keeper is designed to work with a BC and a second stage regulator hose.

- Two-sectioned magnet design keeps the octopus held to the BC until the moment it is needed.

- Strong magnetic hold for a professional-grade retainer that keeps your octo on call.
- Predictable octo position on every dive, which helps during air-sharing drills and out-of-air responses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AKONA Magnetic Octo Keeper attach to my gear?
It attaches in two places. A snap-clip connects one section of the keeper to your BC, and a hose retainer secures the other section to your octopus second stage hose. The magnet and hose retainer are fixed together with two Phillips screws. Once installed, the two magnet sections hold the octo against the BC until you pull it free.
Will it work with my BC and octopus?
AKONA lists the keeper as compatible with a BC and a 2nd stage regulator hose, attaching to the BC with a snap-clip.
What is the part number for this octo keeper?
The AKONA Magnetic Octopus Keeper carries SKU and MPN AKC-13, with UPC 022099925002. Use those numbers if you are matching a replacement for a keeper you already dive or confirming you are ordering the same item your instructor or dive shop recommended.
Does the keeper hold the octopus securely but still release when needed?
Yes. The design uses a two-sectioned magnet, so one half stays on the BC and the other stays on the hose. The magnetic connection keeps the octopus stowed against the BC until it is needed, then the two sections separate when the octo is pulled away for use or for an air share.
