wife and i went with a group to fl. to get our advance cert. 6 others in the group were getting thier rescue diver or master diver, as well as a master diver and instructor. during one of the test for a rescue dive, where one girl was playing an out of air panic diver and the soon to be rescure diver was to calm her down give her air and bring her to the surface(from 30ft). well everything went well until the student put the aqualug octo, in the panic diver's mouth up side down. as you know it does not work upside down. so the panic diver try to take it out and the student held it in and then we really had a panic diver!!! up they went fighting like mad. everyone watching thinking that the panic diver is out to win an oscar for best actor!! till we got to the surface and found out is was no acting!! if you do any such training there should be and hand signal to end all training discussed by all before hand, everyone was fine, but it could have been much worse. good luck and be safe
