Does Test purging really mean it wil breathe fine if needed? I look at the primary reason for the octo as a backup 2nd stage for myself and always test breath before I splash - a backup for an OOA diver is secondary. So does purging it really tell me it's good to go?
Personally, I'm not 100% sure that it does...PADI seems to think it's close enough to recommend for now. I will continue to test breathe my Octo before every dive, but I also sleep with my dive buddy, I don't think she'll mind... LOL.
