Oceanic Alpha 8 SP5 Piston Regulator, Black

Quick answer: This is a regulator from Oceanic.

Why it's worth a look

A regulator doesn't come in sizes, but comfort still matters. Owning your own means you know its service history, you can fit a mouthpiece that suits your jaw, and you can route the hoses so nothing tugs when you turn your head.
