"That one! Right there! That's YOUR emergency air source!" (pointing to the reg attached to his pony bottle).(For people who may be reading and less familiar.)
For anyone who wishes to secondary donate, use a necklace, or any other "non standard" config, I recommend telling your dive buddy which regulator is theirs in an emergency.
Interesting idea… I’m going to try it.Here’s my regulator kit attached to my BCD using the double hose clips looks like.

I tried different kinds of Octopus attachments mentioned previously and got detached during a few of giant stride entries. This attachment seems to hold the Octopus better than the others.
The double hose clip also allows me to clip my primary 2nd stage regulator (with the blue hose) next to the Octopus when I’m not using it, as shown in the picture, above. I don’t need to reach out behind me and swipe my right arm to find the blue hose as it is right there attached to my BCD right shoulder D-ring.
I should also add that the octopus will still fall out with a snorkel keeper, just not as often as with all the other expensive garbage options.
