I need recommendation on a good Octo holder.

[Richard Dayan]

My Octo always falls out of the holder when I jump in, I tried 2 kinds of holders. What can you recommend, to use? So many out there to choose from, many are junk and its confusing to choose. I don't use a compass so magnetic is ok, but some rust or are not strong etc. Maybe there is a super good one out there, please help. Also, I use Mifelx hose.


Thank you

I use the SCUBAPRO Octopus Tank Holder, Magnetic for the last 4 years without any issues. Holds the octo well. Available on Amazon

I'm really like the Dive Rite Octo Holder, although the shock cord degrades over time. Maybe a decade, so not that big a deal! Otherwise, a primary donate style necklace for your octopus.

Bungee necklace. I put a hand on it when I jump in to keep it from hitting my face. Same hand that holds my mask.

I found the Scubapro Octo holder & plug to be the best, it actually held and could still be easily accessed when needed.

Which reg do you use?I have both Scubapro regs and an Apeks Xtx50 reg and I find the circumference of the base of the mouthpiece on the Apeks to be quite large compared to Scubapro.

So I have doubts if the Scubapro octo holder will be able to stretch and clamp around an Apeks without ripping off the mouthpiece if tugged at…

Make a Bungie necklace with $0.50 of 1/8th inch Bungie cord.

I know this is radical and a little loony but hear me out: a bungee necklace so that you can take your primary out of your mouth FAST and donate it to someone who's out of gas. Your necklace reg is then VERY easily reached since its right below your face always.

Been using the one below for about 5 years now and never have any issues coming loose. I feed a loop of the octo hose into the round rubber part, I don't put the octo mouthpiece in there (you can, but I'm always concerned that yanking the octo out quickly might then pull the mouthpiece off when you need it most). My configuration worked great for octo drills during my Rescue Diver course.

Best solution imo is just a small piece of bungee around one your BDC strap. Beside being cheap; it also hola your second stage much better (it doesn't dangle, and the second stage doesn't get out by itself) while being easier to remove than most plastic stuff you will find out ther
