i know its not dir but why? its a small distance from wearing your bungie necklace and is easy to locate near top right breast d ring?
why not octo clipped to right d ring?

Well, the first question to ask yourself is 'why there'?
Second question is what is closer? your left hand to your neck and mouth, or your left hand to your right d-ring and mouth? Lastly, how do you re-stow it when you switch back?

Well in the other methods, are you going to it yourself, or donating it?

Because on a diver doing a DIR dive there is no Octo..ergo...it can't be clipped to anything

His question is really which reg do you give to an OOG diver. An Octopus is a regulator that is only used to donated to another diver in an OOG emergency.Spoon:
With DIR you always donate the reg that is in your mouth and then you would put your "backup" in your own mouth (which is bungied around your neck).
So when you talk about an octopus (or Octo) you are confusing people about which regulator you would donate.
Clear as Mud now?

ok. they always say donate your octo.backup while keeping your primary. but im learning that in most cases and dir that you should give your primary to an oog diver and switching to your backup. i get in now thanks.
