I would like to ask divers who use a long hose and a necklace if it wise to deploy a surface marker buoy while sharing air. Would you do it if you are in a real low air emergency situation? My buddy and I are trying to figure out a way to do it safely. If I am low on air and I have his second stage attached to a 5ft hose in my mouth he doesn't have any other choices than inflate the SMB with his octopus attached to the necklace. So he would have to take his octopus out of his mouth and either pulling the necklace so there is enough room to mess with SMB or take the necklace off his neck...
