Differences between an inflator octo and a standard octo

This instructional video by Scuba.com discusses the two different types of octos. They are the standard octo and the integrated inflator octo. The integrated octo becomes your power inflator and your secondary breathing apparatus in the event of an emergency, while your second stage becomes your buddies. The standard octo in an emergency would go to your buddy and you would keep your second stage. The benefit of having an integrated octo would be to remove a hose and streamline your setup.

The integrated octo has been out for some years and serves to help the diver streamline their equipment. The units have been proven to be safe and reliable and more than convenient to use. In an out of air situation the air donor will use the integrated octo, keeping the bcd functions under his/her control and give up the primary regulator to the person needing assistance.

lol maurice you do know that the person with the air xs 2 breaths out of it. You always give them the longer hose.
