Octopus for Regulator
The octopus is an additional second stage regulator often brightly coloured in yellow. This secondary second stage allows you to provide air to your buddy in case they lose access to their second stage. Octopuses typically have similar specifications to the second stage.
Adjustable and Non-Adjustable
Adjustable second stages have the capability to control the breathing resistance. This allows you to customize how easy or difficult it is to inhale.
Balanced and Unbalanced
Most second stages today are balanced. This means that the second stage provides consistent performance, regardless of your depth or the pressure in the dive tank.
Venturi
Venturi is the airflow in the second stage from the valve to your mouth. With an adjustable venturi regulator, you have a lever that allows you to adjust the airflow yourself.
Purge Button
A purge button allows you to expel water from the regulator.
