Enough said, get an OCTO. I may not have a wealth of dives behind me but I have studied a lot about diving, I will be working toward my instructor rating over the next year or two. I want to know as much about diving as possible because I have put my wife & 2 kids (11 & 13) into the water, there is no margin for error IMO, pretty much a case of black & white, no grey areas in between. All mainstream dive training teaches the use of OCTO's, when there is a problem down under, the person in trouble will be looking for an OCTO because that is what he/she has been trained to do!
