Re: Out of Air Method
Dumping the BC prevents you from getting dragged to the surface by his BC.  That way you are in control of the ascent.  For rec diving, chances are if they are running a cylinder dry, they don't have good buoyancy control either.  Also you may be dealing with a diver in a near panic state, so he may not be thinking properly.

We were taught not to fumble the octo and to get it up almost as fast as the hand keeping the diver at arms length.  If not, the instructor would grab your primary. (good incentive to know your system well)  Giving the primary away was frowned upon.(like with the Air II)
