what is the emergency procedure in case total reg failure to have access to that gas, hold your breath and change regs underwater?? or you always have enough gas in one tank to exit from max penetration.

Rule of thirds, maybe?

As Sludge said, 1/3s. However, IIRC Luxrok did an advanced sidemount class report where Steve had him do just that; hold your breath and hot swap regs, breathing directly from the valve if needed during the swap. That's a pretty sporty drill :)

Ya, here it is (Luxrok, I hope you don't mind my quoting you):

"The most difficult skill I had to master was to swap regulators between tanks underwater. This is a three part drill: breath from a free flowing regulator while feathering it, breath from a tank valve underwater and perform the regulator swap.

This was a very difficult set of skills for me to master. My breath holding ability is weak, less then one minute. And this decreases as the CO2 builds up. This skill took me 5 attempts over two days before I was able to get through it in zero visibility. One attempt I had to ask for a regulator from another tank. One attempt I ended up bolting to the surface because I panicked a little, which is exactly what we are trying to train out."

Taken from this article, which is worth the read:

Here's a better drill:

1. Buy quality regulators.
2. Have them serviced regularly by a trained professional.
3. Dive the rule of thirds.

Or you can try to master a very difficult drill that could save your bacon if you ever needed it. You're obviously not a fan of it, so don't do it. And where did anyone suggest breaking thirds or diving crappy regs??

Not sure why Steve's site is down, but sure it will be back online soon. The URL is correct.

Too much bandwidth usage from everyone downloading his video? :smt102
