Hi everyone,
I've been doing mainly technical dives recently, but I’m now looking to assemble a recreational setup and would love to get some input on an idea I’ve been considering.
I have a spare MTX-RC Octo lying around, and I’m thinking of getting another yellow octo instead of using a gray primary. My plan is to use a single tank with a long hose setup but with two yellow octos, specifically the MTX-RC Octos, which are equivalent to my primary regulator.
The reasoning behind this is that in a situation where a distressed diver needs to grab an octo, I don’t want them mistakenly grabbing the octo on my necklace. By having two yellow octos, I believe it would increase the likelihood of them grabbing the correct one, which is my primary on the long hose.
Has anyone here tried this configuration, or do you have any advice against it? I’m curious to hear if there are any downsides or concerns I might be overlooking.
Thanks in advance for your input!
