is this consistent?

if an out of air diver is ALWAYS going to grab the reg in your mouth, then
why is it problematic to have your secondary reg turned off?


i simply don't buy the first statement and have never seen any data
supporting the assertion that out of air divers will "usually", let alone
"always", go for the "working" regulator in your mouth
in my opinion, this means these divers were poorly trained and, according
to george, no one should be diving with them <g>
