Content: The purge button is found on the face of the regulators second stage. This button allows the second stage to flood with air, forcing any water out of the second stage. The ease of breathing adjustment is found on most regulators, and it allows divers to adjust their breathing resistance through a knob or lever. This adjustment helps to avoid free flow, which is when the air flows continuously out of the second stage regardless of the diver’s breath. An exhaust valve is located on the second stage and works to channel any exhaled air bubbles away from the divers face. This is found below the mouthpiece and helps you to keep a clear vision. Then there is the mouthpiece. This is the part that the diver puts their mouth on to access air. Alternate Second Stage
This part of the scuba octopus setup, also called a buddy regulator or an alternate air source, is basically the same thing as the primary second stage. It does the same job through the same process as the primary second stage, however, it is used as a backup.
