Scuba ChoiceScuba Diving Magnetic Regulator Octopus Hose Holder Clip, Blue

Loving this Magnetic Reg/Octo Hose Holder Clip. I received this Magnetic Reg/Octo Hose Holder Clip in Blue and Yellow the next day after ordering them. I did three dives so far using them. The hose holder fit snugly on my Poseidon Reg/Octo hoses with it not sliding at all, keeping the holder where I wanted it. The clips seem strong and sturdy. The magnet was strong holding the hose to the clip, easy to separate when needed, and kept the reg/octo from dangling. Important Note: When using my compass in my hands with arms fully extended, the magnet seemed to have no affect on it with a separation distance of at least 24 inches. Knowing this limitation, I will still use this Magnetic Clip. If I need to navigate using my compass, I could always unclip the magnet portion and move to the bottom of my BC, or remove and clip on my buddy while I navigate.

Have not used it yet but I think it's going to be the best connection I've tried,strong magnet.

just completed my open water course with this - my instructor highly recommended a magnetic octo restraint so i found the cheapest one on prime and the cheapest alternative to compare it to (that's my style). so i must say: super effective way to restrain your octo. magnet is strong - so it keeps it in place - and the method for attaching it to your second stage hose is very effective. i also bought a clip [Scuba Choice Scuba Diving Double Hose Holder...] to compare the two (since it was only 6 dollars) and i must say that the clip was a PITA to get the hose back into (under water or otherwise) really hurt your fingers trying to force it in - and once it was in - it some what easily popped out with significant incidental contact (fin/fist/otherwise). for the price difference of about 10 dollars this IMO is a way more effective method of securing your octo. I absolutely will recommend this to all my friends getting into scuba- for 15ish dollars you cant go wrong.

I bought this particular iten because is was cheaper than the Akona and Scub-Pro. The magnet popped out of it's housing the first time I pulled it apart right out of the package.....and every time after that. I bought the Akona magnetic hose clip. It works like it should.

Easy to install

The magnet is super strong and all I've got to do is get my spg hose close to it and it clips right on automatically. I love it! Just make sure that your compass is an adequate distance away from it because the magnet is pretty strong. I have not had any navigation issues but I keep my compass on the opposite side of my body so I don't have any interference issues.

Assuming you never use the octo the magnet is great. Otherwise it's too strong. It's still a very clean setup. Probably doesn't work well with non braided lines.I like the plastic clips. Keeps my blue anodized fringe from scratching. And if the clip breaks while someone tries grabbing for the octo in an emergency, then it did its job. Guessing that's why it's plastic.

Got 3 and they work perfectly. The only issue is that one of them had a magnet come out of the side that connects to the hose the first time I used them. I glued it back in and haven't had any more trouble.

Excellent product and fast delivery!

The hose is held in place by a plastic ring on a plastic thread. The ring broke after 2 days of diving making the item useless.
