In no place do I recall learning to give someone my main reg when I have an Octo. Every octo I have seen comes with a longer hose. My current octo is actually designed to hand off to someone.
I keep seeing posts where people say in an OOA situation you give them YOUR main reg.
NO Way. I am the one giving assistance. You get my octo. I will keep the definate good source. If the octo fails then we can buddy breathe back up but ya.. There is no way someone gets the main reg when I have a working Octo.
Now in my (out) case, our mains have 26" lines. The Octos have 34"+ lines. Why would they have such long lines if they were not designed for other people to use?
I have a sneaking suspiscion that its a PADI thing (I am NAUI trained..)
