This is the money post. This answered the OP's question perfectly. Bravo to Moerae!

Last September, I was a new diver, slinging a pony from dive 1 as a certified OW diver. Even practiced switch over drills. All drysuit dives in the Pacific NW. The Salish Sea, around the south end of Vancouver Island. Vis from stellar, to crap. A new diver can, handle a pony. I know, as I did it. A month from now, I am doing the SDI Solo cert; currently sitting at 144 dives. Still carrying a pony. Which has grown from, originally, at 13cu; I now sling a 30cu.
Loving the logo on that image you shared! Thanks for your response!Yes, of course. Why not?
I and my wife still own our two Technisub ARALU twin sets, made of a twin 9+9 liters alu tanks at 200 bar, providing roughly 3600 liters of air.

However, we also own a 15-liters steel single tank, at 232 bars, providing almost the same amount of air. It weights just 15.4 kg instead of 23 kg, and it also requires 4 kg less of weights. As it is equipped with a double valve, we can use the same two separate regs we use on the twin tank.
I did never consider a single first stage with an octopus "safe enough" for me...
And I did never use any tank providing less than 3000 liters of air. Again, smaller tanks are not "safe enough" for me.
That's the Technisub logo. Technisub was the company founded by Luigi Ferraro after leaving Cressi, with a minority share from Jacques Cousteau. They had a partnership with Aqualung, which in the end acquired Technisub. Here the history.Loving the logo on that image you shared! Thanks for your response!

It's not rocket science! Love this
I have only skimmed through the 14 pages of responses but did not see any mention of cold water diving where free-flows can be quite common. Having two people breathe off of one first stage can result in the donors reg free-flowing as well especially when the receiving diver is a little panicked and breathing heavily. I have seen a number of double free-flows and all too often they result in a rapid ascent. By cold water I mean sub 40 degrees.
Bathtub water! Close your eyes and you'd think you were in Guam!.... chuckles ... 7C ... so 44F ... almost
