One of the skill building exercises of the PADI Divemaster education is called "Equipment Exchange". Check the video
Remember to turn on sound (lower right corner)
In confined water, demonstrate the ability to effectively respond to unusual circumstances underwater by exchanging all scuba equipment (except exposure suits and weights) with a buddy while sharing a single regulator second stage earning af minimum score of 3*
Conduct:
- Orient candidates to procedures for sharing a single regulator second stage, including exhalation between breaths and not covering the purge button as the regulator is passed back and forth.
- Give buddy teams less than five minutes to discuss the exercise
- Have candidates begin sharing a single regulator stage in water too deep in which to stand, exchange equipment and continue sharing air until they reach shallow water.
- Do not assign problems - allow candidates to resolve any naturally occuring onees.
*) Scoring criteria not covered here. We probably scored 4 - 5. Better than minimum.
