The Octopus Safety Stopper in fluorescent yellow is a crucial piece of safety equipment for any freediving line setup, designed to prevent lanyard carabiners from getting stuck or snagged. Its innovative two-part design is made from strong ABS plastic. The upper surface is almost flat, providing a reliable and clean stopping point for the lanyard carabiner at the bottom of the line. The lower part features a conical shape, engineered to guide or "expel" the lanyard cable outwards, minimizing the chance of it wrapping around or catching on the stopper itself. With a diameter of 75mm (wider than a tennis ball), it offers an effective barrier. It's optimized for use with 10mm to 12mm freediving ropes but can also be used with ropes down to 8mm. The stopper is assembled around the rope using a simple knot inside and secured with three stainless steel cross-head screws, ensuring it stays firmly in place. Designed and tested by Swiss record-holder Pascal Berger, this highly visible stopper is an essential addition for both recreational and competitive freediving safety.
