I have a Dive Rite Hunter Pac with the XT regs. My primary air source is on a necklace with a short hose. My alternate is on a longer hose and I use that as my 'share' regulator.
Recently a friend suggested that I use the long hose as my primary and the necklace as my secondary. His reasoning was that in an OOA or share situation, a panicked out of air diver could conceivably rip the regulator out of my mouth. Then my rev on the necklace would be right there for me to use.
I can understand his thought process and was thinking of switching regs on my next dive and practicing sharing air that way. What are your thoughts on this?
