How do you keep a bungied backup from bubbling and free flowing?
I have used a couple different regs (loaners, rentals, and now my own) and my octo (regardless of make) always wants to bubble on me. If you my 2nd stage in the water and point the mountpiece toward the surface I get a free flow.
The attached image is the type of octo holder that I'm currently using. I stick the octo in the holder and it hangs off my shoulder D-ring. When I first get in the water I get a stream of bubbles coming out of where the "key ring" goes though the octo material. I have to fiddle with it for a bit and sometimes I have to decend a couple feet (to get pressure) to get it to stop.
I was thinking about trying a bungied backup but I can't figure out how you would keep the backup from free-flowing right in your face all the time.
Any suggestions?
My current primary is a Scubapro S600 and my secondary is an ancient Dacor Pacer 350 (no tuning knobs) which is about to be replaced with an R380. Any words of wisdom as to how to make this work?
