Well, for me at least.
I finally got my Manifold and Hog doubles hose kit last week. I just finished putting everything on it's new hoses, and setting my regs up on the (naked) manifold.
So I decided to do a dry run on things. With the manifold resting on my shoulders, I was practicing donating the long hose and switching to my bungied backup with my eyes closed. Suddenly I felt my longhose reg jerk out of hand. I opened my eyes and I found myself doing an OOA drill with my 5 year old boy! I thought it was quite amusing that I don't even have the manifold on tanks yet, and I've got my partner to practice drills with.
Here's another oddity from my diving this past weekend. This was my first dive outing without a console. Just a bare SPG, and BT on my wrist. BTW, I LOVE this setup. Anyway, I decided to check my air level every five minutes, just for the practice of clipping and un-clipping the SPG from behind the deco bottle. It deffinately got easier every time I did it. But I noticed after several of my dives, that my SPG was actually clipped off to the clip of my deco tank.
Has this happened to others? Seems odd that with that relatively giant D-ring, that I would be clipping into the small eye of my deco sling. I never had any problems removing the SPG though. Just odd I thought. But then again, I was using the tank sling to identify the D-ring.
