@wackjonny All is well that ends well; that is 100% true. At least she found a fine solution in a hurry and didn't commit to anything strange (Like trying to repair her main regulator....).

The most important thing is she's safe....Going for the backup octopus is what she would of normally done,but you need to be in the situation at the time....I have seen experienced instructors mess up and panic,It was just instinct for her to grab her buddies as it was more visible for her to reach and grab under the circumstances....My point being is she did well and is safe is all that matters...it could of gone worse for her to grab her own Octopus if she was to panic even more so

@wackjonny She panicked, why didn't she go for her backup instead? (On the end of the very obvious yellow line). She reaches around it more than once while trying to identify the fault. Instead she starts a free ascent, changes her mind, and goes back down for her buddies backup. I suspect that if she did not see the bright yellow backup on her buddy she would have gone for his primary instead (Which is why most smart people use black primaries and obvious backups), inexperience mostly I think.

I Think she did very well reaching and taking the octopus regulator......She was lucky she was close to her buddy...as diving always says stay close to your buddy.
Smart diver if you ask me and didn't panic which is the cause of most divers death.

I can't believe the lame comments. "continued the dive" and "why with a broken regulator". Do you relly believe she knew her mouthpiece was going to fall out? Do you thing that the few seconds of footage after the mishap means she "continued her dive"? Not the sharpest knife on the drawer, aye?
Why didn't she grab her octo sitting right there?
