Envoy Second Stage vs Envoy Octopus

[chris1965]

Is there any difference (beside yellow cover plate)? Is the octopus tuned to a different cracking pressure?
My intent is to use one (primary) on a long hose and a second (backup) on a short hose. I would have the primary one be the easiest breather, with intent to donate; and the backup more free flow resistant (predive switched off ? or tuned differently??). I would probably have the yellow plate on the primary........I often dive with groups off boats to avoid confusion.

I believe the only difference is the cover. I use my old Envoy second stage as my octo since I know it's a great breather and if I use it or donate it, it'll deliver the needed air.

They are the same.

When you purchase the reg, the LDS is supposed to check it out, etc....so you could ask the Tech to de-tune it a little at that time, if you wish.

Thanks,

Thanks and is a de-tune needed if the pre dive switch is left in (pre-dive)...?? (this is for ez warm open water diving)

I ordered my Envoy octo, which I bungee, with a grey face plate. No extra charge (at least not with ScubaToys).
