Shame...shame...shame, O-ring. Donating the reg from your mouth works just fine in a PADI class and is within standards. The instructor may not like it but PADI doesn't care.
...I'm DM'ing with a 7' long hose and necklaced Octo and was wondering if I would face the same objection O-ring has faced. Could you elaborate on "PADI doesn't care". Do the lawyers care? I suspect the argument would be that it is confusing for students to see an air sharing drill with someone donating from their primary reg while they are expecting to do it from their Octo.
I don't want to change my reg. configuration back to what I see as an inferior set-up so I would welcome any further ammunition you might have Mike to combat this view as being inappropriate in an OW or AOW class scenario...
P.S. Sorry Dxtreme, its seems I have continued the hijacking of your thread...
