This will start a firestorm, but what my husband and I do is share gas for a little while, early in the dive. He is a bigger person than I am, and will always use more gas, so we just swim along for a while with both of us on my gas supply, and that evens things out.
NOTE: We do this EARLY in the dive, so no one is low on air; we use a long hose setup, so it's easy and convenient to swim while sharing gas. This is also pretty good practice for air-sharing in general.

Hello all,
I am AOW with 50 dives.
My wife and I are planning another Liveaboard in the Red Sea in April , the problem is that in terms of size we are significantly different (me bigger and taller). Even with me using a 15L tank I need a bit more air in order to extend the dive.
I know that my consumption rate will get better in time, but so does hers and trust me, she is small and she is "very" efficient on her air.
So the question is this: If the LDS provides the twin set and have a suitable BCD, do I require any training to use the twins other than the tech brief on the actual valve system?
Thanks in advance.
Richard
