mccabejc:I recently got one of those yellow ball octopus holder gizmos. I've noticed that when I'm doing my surface swims, the octopus seems to free flow a little. I think it's because the ball orients the regulator upside down, which naturally causes a free flow. ...Anyone know what's going on?
I too dive a yellow all octopus holder. Had the same problem. Cause appears to b trapped air in the ball and the pressure of being underwater just an inch or two resulting in a low pressure zone on the mouthpice side of the octopus which causes it to supply air. Solution, I got a hole punch and punched a hole in the top of the holder. Problem solved.
