0:50 this reg is also known as the octopus and when the main second stage sticks open this is know as a free flow if it cant be stopped either turn of the cylinder that is free flowing if diving on a twin set or shut of the cylinder and breath off your buddy octopus but at this stage you would abort the dive anyway and come to the surface

Does he look like a PADI Divemaster to you?
I ask this out of …
I ask this out of curiosity, but why would you have students breath off their own octo and completely waste the free flowing air? Why would you not instead teach the students how to breath the air that is free flowing by tilting their head and breathing in the bubbles?

How do you turn on your air pressure?
Hi, just to add a …
Hi, just to add a little something, it’s taught during OW course, to breathe through a Free-flowing regulator, the mechanism, as you said, is ‘fail-safe’, so it would go on free-flow. Now, because this situation requires an immediate ascent, you may use the free-flowing second stage so the air ‘escaping’ is not wasted.
When I make my student do the skill, I make them watch their SPG before and after, so they realise how fast the air get lost.
Thats it for now.
Keep up the good work.
