i have seen multiple posts that say that with proper training and predive meetings, this can be avoided.
Have you ever used scuba equipment you absolutely hated!

From people that have never been in the situation I know a someone that have had one, first real world situation and it was gone.
Do you really think a panicked diver, out of air, is going to look for an octo? I like knowing exactly where my inline inflator/octo is (not dislodged from BCD holder). I recently increased the primary hose length to help with a primary donate.
And now your breathing from the same thing you use to control your bouyancy the panicked person's bouyancy and trying to control the panicked diver, I'll take my necklace much easier for everyone
Yup! I know how to breath through a mouthpiece and not push a button at the same time. It's not that hard.
It seems I dislike the waterproof ultima enough that I just ordered another RoLock system for my second suit.

Compared to the RoLock they just don’t compare, although the ultima is an excellent system in use everything about the RoLock has been better.

Yes.
My only serious diving incident was with a BSAC Sports Leader buddy I had done many dives with. We were mid dive when his tie came off his mouth piece he exhaled and the regulator came out and he and he sucked in water. He tried for his octopus and when could not locate it tried sweeping for his octopus but still couldn't find it. We were at 30m depth and he was in a panic and climbed onto my back and took my secondary. Even though his tank had air he was OOA. He also managed to tip us into an inverted position where we went even deeper. So from OOA to panic to hyperventilating to being inverted to being in a fast drift dive sinking into the depths into deco for a few minutes.
Quite an adventure really.
