Happened to my dive buddy and he nearly drowned. But he is a BSAC Sports dive leader and quite experienced.I'd been diving for quite a few years before this incident happened. I do wonder if I was a new diver what my reaction would have been. It seems almost like a design flaw that could result in a catastrophe.
Read pages 16 & 17. If you guess I now check ties on all regs for myself and dive buddy before a dive you would be correct.
Have you ever used scuba equipment you absolutely hated!
Never used a air 2, never will a small amount of common sense tells you they are horrible in a real world situation if the other is panicked, which is likely. i have seen multiple posts that say that with proper training and predive meetings, this can be avoided.
