I have an AIR II fitted to my Poseidon 1st stage. It needed a bit of
fiddling around to get it to not free-flow, but its not impossible.
Scubapro apparently don't make the Poseidon adaptor kits for their AIR II
any more.

I normally dive with a Pony - which uses my octopus that I previously used
on my main rig before I got the Pony. However, if I dive without the pony
(not very often), I move my Pony 2nd stage back to the main bottle rig, so
dive with AIR II and octopus.

Why not use have both AIR II and Octopus?
