BC as emergency air

Left post roll off, buddy goes OOA. Rare, but that's the reason I run my inflator off the right post.

buddy of mine tried it once and it wasn't easy. Of course it does beat the alternative , drowning.

I met a british instructor back in '01 who had this bizarre attachment on his BCD. It looked a little like a SpareAir, but was directly mounted to the left side of the BCD. I asked him about it, and he told me it allowed him to breathe air out of his bladder in case of emergency.
I've never seen anything like it since, and never really thought it about again until now. Anybody seen one of these things? It was definitely commercially manufactured.

bah... I meant shear off, or whatever you wanna call it, where turning it back on is not an option, obviously I would turn it back on if I could and it's like a once-in-a-million chance, just something that's stuck in my mind.
