Strong and reliable, our new OCTOPUS safety stopper enhances your safety as it efficiently prevents your lanyard from getting stuck. The almost-flat upper part gives a clean stop to your carabiner, while the lower part, with its conical shape, allows your lanyard cable to be “expelled” towards the outside, with no grip to get it stuck. Following our prototype tests, we chose a diameter wider than a tennis ball’s (75mm vs 65mm). Finally, the bright fluorescent yellow color makes it more visible.
It works perfectly with a 10 to 12mm rope. It is possible to use it with smaller ropes down to 8mm.
Regarding the mounting process, the stopper is divided in two parts. A simple knot is placed in its center, and 3 stainless steel screws (standard cross-head) make it easy to finish putting it in place. It is made out of ABS, a strong plastic used for example to make LEGOs: after all, we are just big kids playing in the water!
The new OCTOPUS safety stopper: a simple and efficient design for an unbeatable quality! Designed and tested by Swiss record holder Pascal Berger (-131m VWT ).

I have had these fins for 4.5 years now, and I'm going to be purchasing again. They look great, and they work great. My gear gets banged up pretty good from boats and rocks and these have held up wonderfully.
My Bad! I recently found that the foot pockets have stretched out. I live on Kauai and this summer was a hot one! I typically store these hanging by the foot pockets. I think the combination of heat and gravity on the heel was enough to stretch it. They work ok with booties now but I will be likely be ordering again and keeping this next pair safe in a bag.
I purchased the clear oval diving mask. In the past ive always just picked up some cheap thing at the local sports equipment store or walmart or wherever. This mask from Evolve has been a game changer! I truly should have bought this years ago! I didnt know masks could be leak free, have such high visibility and clarity. Im not struggling with it in any way and can now freely enjoy my underwater mermaid swimming and modeling hobby. I also love how the mask isnt visually obtrusive, the clear one isnt that noticeable in my underwater photography. Furthermore, shipping was fast and there were no issues! Thankyou so much Evolve for this wonderful product and great service!
Its a gift for my husband, however he tried his trainer's goggle which is the first version and said it was amazing. Delivered in a good condition, also the shipment is quite fast. 👍
The fins are super comfortable, and I think they’re the perfect size for traveling since they fit in a regular suitcase.
I’m in love with the mask because being transparent prevents those annoying tan lines you get after spending many hours in the water. I also really like the wide field of vision it provides.
