Scubapro S270 Balanced Octopus

Reliable Performance When It Matters Most

The Scubapro S270 Balanced Octopus is a high-visibility, air-balanced backup breather designed for both recreational and technical diving. Engineered with a fiberglass-reinforced nylon core and a rugged PU outer layer, it offers extreme durability while remaining lightweight enough to prevent jaw fatigue.

Unlike standard backup regulators, its air-balanced valve ensures smooth, consistent inhalation effort regardless of depth or tank pressure. Featuring a high-viz yellow 39-inch super-flow hose and a dive/pre-dive switch to eliminate freeflows, the S270 is the ultimate “tough-and-ready” safety essential for any dive system.

Scubapro S270 Balanced Octopus

The Scubapro S270 Balanced Octopus is a high-performance backup regulator designed to be both lightweight and incredibly resilient. Since you’re looking for information on this specific piece of gear, here is a breakdown of its key features and technical specifications based on the details provided.

The S270 is marketed as a “tough, reliable, and easy to use” backup breather. Its standout feature is the air-balanced design, which is somewhat rare for an octopus; this ensures consistent breathing effort regardless of depth or the remaining air pressure in your tank.

Key Features

  • Performance: The air-balanced valve smooths out inhalation effort, making it easier to breathe when you might be under stress or in an emergency.

  • Durability: It features a fiberglass-reinforced nylon core with a special PU outer layer. This makes it highly durable while reducing jaw fatigue during long dives.

  • Cold Water Ready: The technopolymer plastic barrel and metal thread help prevent ice crystals from forming, making it suitable for extreme cold water diving.

  • Safety & Visibility: The high-viz yellow front cover and the 39-inch (1m) super-flow hose make it easy to spot and share with a buddy in an “out-of-air” situation.

  • Dive/Pre-Dive Switch: Includes a switch to prevent freeflows when the regulator is not in use (e.g., during entry or while clipped to your BCD).
