Sam (via techdiver) --

The problem is still, "Why can't you buy one". Might save some 
lives if beginning divers could start off doing this one right, which 
means getting it supplied by the reg manufacturers or on the shelf 
in the dive shop. Last I looked, all dive shops had around here were 
hose clips and the silly little mouthpiece cups that keep newbies 
from ever breathing their octopus to see if it still works. I had one
of those for a week. Not my smartest week either.

Lance   Why bother looking to buy one when they are easy to 
make.  A piece of surgical tubing formed in a loop with the ends overlapping
about 2 1/2 inches.  cinch the ends to the tube 
with plastic cable ties and walla!, you have a loop that goes around
your neck with a slit to trap a reg mouthpiece in.  If the loop is the 
proper length you can get the reg in your mouth without using your hand.
