Take a length of 3/16" bungee, tie a square knot so you form a loop. Now loop it onto itself around your D-ring, slip mouthpiece of octo into loop, making sure the zip tie knotch is hooked as well.
It's more robust than a snorkel keeper or those keepers CT Sean posted, and it's incredibly easy to deploy and stow while still being tight enough to hold your octo in place. This is because unlike snorkel keepers, bungee can stretch
I have found the short piece of looped bugee, attached to my BCD, to be as effective as anything.Just wondering what the best method is to attach my octo/backup regulator to my BCD to allow for quick(emergency) removal for buddy breathing....?
Exactly. Probably the simplest, most secure appproach I have found, for a 'conventional' octo placement. Over time, with frequent use (e.g. lots of students tugging on the octo), the piece of bungee may lose some elasticity and need replacement. But, that is a matter of pennies.g1138:Take a length of 3/16" bungee, tie a square knot so you form a loop.
