Re: Octopus, or no Octopus?
The cost of an octopus is minimal and it can increase your safety. I think most people would highly recommend you have an octopus and probably any charter boat will require it, if they notice it.
Now if you are carrying a pony/bail-out bottle, then THAT reg can serve as an octopus and it is probably better to NOT have to juggle three second stages; in my opinion anyway.
