Model Features & Differences

The 

Envoy Octopus (320-3110)

 has 

same high performance flow capacity 

as the CW and ZX models.  It has the 

Dive  /  pre-Dive  Lever  which  is  very 

important  in  Octopus  regulators  to 

control  unwanted  venturi  free-flows 

when the regulator is not in the diver’s 

mouth.  It is the lightest of these three 

Zeagle Octopus models.

The 

CW  Octopus  (320-5010)

  is 

mechanically the same as the Envoy 

Octopus, with the addition of a finned 

Heat Sink at the inlet side of the regu-

lator.    This  heat  sink  absorbs  latent 

heat from the surrounding water which 

helps  warm  the  air  coming  from  the 

first  stage  before  it  cools  the  lever 

assembly.    This  makes  it  a  good 

choice for cold water and ice diving.

The 

ZX Octopus (320-1110)

 is mechani-

cally the same as the CW Octopus, with 

the addition of a Breathing Effort Control 

Knob  on  the  side  of  the  regulator  oppo-

site  the  hose.    This  knob  controls  the 

initial cracking effort of the second stage 

and can be adjusted counterclockwise for 

minimum inhalation effort, or clockwise to 

increase  the  inhalation  effort  to  prevent 

free  flows  when  heading  into  a  strong 

current.  The ZX Octo is really a Zeagle 

primary 2nd stage with a yellow cover.
