I know it is not taught that much any more but I have a question on Buddy Breathing. When (if) you all learned how to buddy breath, how did you have your hands positioned? Person who is sharing the air has their right hand on their regulator hose, but how did the receiver place their hands?

[Choose #3] Book said arm, Instructer had a better way, grab ahold of BC by right shoulder, Doner and receiver this kept both close and hard to break apart.

[Choose #2] I’m right handed so I hold the donors forarm with my right hand & use my left for the reg... Most people are right handed so I would say thats most commen. But I guess it reall does not matter how you do it as long as it works well.
