The DIR setup is sound, but should one of the regs freeflow you'd be freeflowing and breathing out of the same tank, and if the freeflowing reg emptied the tank before you reached the surface...:(
Frank,
We recomend certain regs ( ie; MK 20's, G250, and Apeks) just for that reason. Moreover, we recomend taking the pin out of the 2nd stages to remove the cover and we further recomend having the 2nd stages hand tightend so as to be able to remove if necessary..
If diving doubles it's a moot because we would isolate and if on single tanks we would use a H-valve to eliminate the problem...
And if all else failed we would have a buddy nearby...
