I bought the nice and compact Mares MV Octopus and love it. It came with a nice holder that fits into the reg mouthpiece - everything is nice and compact and fits beautifully on the BCD.
One problem, once you are in the water, the small hole in the holder to vent the air from the octo creates a sucking pressure inside the reg and flows until you remove the octo from the holder, let it fill with water and then replace. Kind of defeats the nice convenient purpose.
Does anyone know how to keep it from free flowing? I thought of drilling the hole out to make it bigger or plugging it up. Any thoughts???
