Serious tech divers have a second regulator surgically implanted into their right cheek. The implant to ask for at the doctors is RTREGZIP. The ZIP refers to the method of attachment for the regulator. The regulator is attached via a zipper that allows removal of the alternate gas supply during the off-season or when you have to go to the prom. In the wintertime, opening the zipper provides an alternate means of air inhalation so you don't have to use your nose or lips- a source of severe chapping in low humidity conditions. Why screw around with a rubber strap around your neck that could be used by someone to strangle you on a dive?
