Content: The air travels through the low pressure (LP) regulator hoses at this intermediate pressure; however, the air at this intermediate pressure is still at too high to be breathed directly and requires further reduction. 2. Primary Second Stage
The part of the regulator that a diver puts in his mouth is called the second stage. The regulator second stage is attached to the first stage by a low-pressure hose. The name “second stage” comes from this part's function as the second stage of pressure reduction. It takes the intermediate pressure air from the regulator hose and reduces it to ambient pressure-- a pressure equivalent to the air or water pressure surrounding a diver, allowing a diver to breathe from the second stage safely. The primary second stage is one of two second stages attached to a standard open water regulator, and it is this one that a diver normally breathes from during a dive. 3. Alternate Second Stage
The alternate second stage (also known as an alternate air source, buddy regulator, or octopus) does the exact same thing as the primary second stage:
