Here is why:
With proper air management, running out of air is very unlikely, but you should know how to handle the situation. If possible, you want to respond to an air supply problem by using an alternate air source. The most common type is a second stage readily accessible.
Think of this as your best, all around choice when you have an alternate air source immediately available. During your predive safety check, confirm what alternate air sources your buddies have and how to secure them. Test breathe your alternate air source(s). To supply an alternate air source to a buddy, you need to stay close to each other at all times.
