All:
I know that there is a pretty popular and useful DIR / TECH hose configuration where backup regulator is suspended from a divers neck by necklace made from a bungee or tubing So this does not need a discussion (please? :blinking: ) and we all know that it is very useful in the variety of situation especially in the overhead and tech environments. This question is not about that and G-d forbid this is not a Rec vs Tech vs DIR discussion.
What I d like to know what everyone thinks of using a necklace to hang primary regulator to prevent it floating away in case it is knocked out of a divers mouth by a fin or hand by other diver.I had this happen to me once and then it took me few seconds to fish it out. A few seconds is nothing but I still had to reach back, grab the hose, etc etc . I guess if I had it on a necklace it would not have happen it would have been right there in front of me. Octopus in this case would be mounted in a recreational manner in a holder on the divers torso.
Thanks!
