On the grand scale of things to be obsessive compulsive about, I suppose it could be much worse, but I have a major issue with "sharing saliva" with anyone but my wife. I'm talking about sharing drinks, forks, etc. It just "icks" me out, and I can't get over it.
So obviously this extends to rental regulators. So far I have only done my certification dives, and all I could think about was the stupid regulator and how many other mouths it had been in. I got through the dives, but it was just something that I shouldn't have to worry about.
I'll be diving in Belize and Mexico in November. I'm not ready to invest in a regulator of my own just yet, so I was thinking of bringing A): a bunch of cheap standard mouthpieces that I could get attached to the rental regs and leave when I am done, or B): some type of custom fit mouthpiece that I could remove after each dive to reuse on the next.
I know this would probably depend on the shops I will dive with, but do you think that either of these options would be a problem? Are there any other options to deal with this that you can think of?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
