The post to which the SPG is (was) attached.

Actually, what you've just made is the case for all divers in a team
being *thoroughly* familiar with each others' gear configuration.
This is independent of any *specific* choice of gear configuration.
Obviously, identical gear rigging will facilitate this, but it is not
an absolute requirement.

And as a side note - if both divers were on independents, then the
diver with the blown hose does not *have* to turn to his buddy for
help, and the buddy does not have to shut down *anything*. In fact,
the buddy's only required response to the above situation would be to
signal back "OK" to the indication that dive is now being turned.
