    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?

    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.
