You're still not thinking about team resources, and this is the DIR forum. It's not about "how do I resolve the problem", its about how does the team sort itself out.

Not really a big drama. Other things we tried - simply reach back and turn on the reg. Also reach back and turn on the reg whilst purging the clipped off long hose to see if thats an option. You have less options in a team of 2 than a 3, but even so given that each dive should be able to comfortably switch on and off any valve they have, you have quite a bit of spare gas in the team on any dive.
Garf,

I know this is a drill, but in real life would the OOG diver go for the backup rather than asking a team mate for their reg?
