You never know what could happen underwater. In the event of an air-related emergency, you'll be glad to have a spare second stage regulator (or scuba Octopus) with you. Your Octopus regulator functions as a reliable back-up air source should you or your dive buddy's primary second stage dive regulator malfunction. As an alternative air source, your scuba Octopus is made up of a back-up air source and air delivery system. The typical single-hose regulator comes equipped with a spare demand valve designed for emergency use by the diver’s buddy.
Scuba diving regulators and safety Octopus equipment are designed to help you breathe underwater. The Scuba Doctor carries scuba diving Octopus equipment from the top brands.

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Boon Wurrung / Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. This truly ancient Country includes parts of Port Phillip, from the Werribee River in the north-west, down to Wilson's Promontory in the south-east, including the Mornington Peninsula, French Island and Phillip Island, plus Western Port. We wish to acknowledge the Boon Wurrung as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge Bunjil the Creator Spirit of this beautiful land, who travels as an eagle, and Waarn, who protects the waterways and travels as a crow, and thank them for continuing to watch over this Country today and beyond.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
