Over all good Tips. *** Great Buoyancy you have. *** Tip 8. Fin Control (#2 thing I teach) You show your Knees breaking at a 45, perfect. I had an instructor teach me at 90 degrees, and it was killing me. 1. Streamline hoses - Maybe it's the angle of the video, but this shows the LH going down the inside of the diver, good way to get choked. Your LH video on LH share shows it around the outside like it should. 2. Debatable - Tech Training in FL has DSMB either on Crouch D-Ring or hip D-ring. Easier Access in case of Emergency, but we do put it away in Wreck Pens. 3. BP/W - YES, THIS..... More People need to recommend this.

Thank you for watching and for your comments. Your inputs are sharp and spot on. 1. On the DSMB, yes you are right that a properly packed DSMB can be secured on the Tail D-ring or left waist D-ring. However, I’ve seen many instances of DSMB accidentally unravelling or spool unwinding when the double ender’s latch is accidentally opened at the spool end. Therefore, I try to teach my students consistency and to store DSMB in Tech shorts or dry suit pockets. 2. On the Long Hose, it’s just not so visible in the video but your point is there. The Diver is using a Halcyon H75p first stage (similar to the SP Mk25) with a 5th port at the bottom tip of the reg. The LH is connected to the 5th port and routed through the back of the wing, under the right side weight pocket and runs across the chest and over the neck. Thank you again for your insights and comments.

some questions/comments: Regarding Tip 1: How is the diver supposed to be finding this hose (the alternate one) in case of air loss and panic? Tip 3: No weight belt and only BCD pockets? Then how to drop weights in case of an emergency ascend? Tip 7: You would have even better viz with clear silicone masks

Hello, thank you for watching and for your comments. 1. As mentioned in the video, the Diver’s long hose regulator system follows the DIR Technical Diving standards. In this standard, the backup reg is “necklaced” around the diver’s neck. The Long Hose (7 feet) is the primary reg. In an emergency, diver donates the long hose primary reg to an out of air diver. Then the diver shifts to the necklaced backup reg. This standard is adopted by all Scuba agencies (PADI, NAUI, SSI, GUE, etc) in their Technical Diving curriculum. Although meant for Technical Diving, recreational divers have adopted the long-hose configuration and method for single tank diving since this is a much better config and process than the recreational method. If a panic diver grabs the regulator being breathe by the long hose diver, the long hose diver simply bows his head and the long hose will slip from it’s loop around the diver’s head and to the victim’s grasp. The long hose diver then breathes from the backup reg hanging from the “necklace”. Here’s a video that we made that will give you an idea of how the long hose and “necklaced” backup is used. kzitem.info/news/bejne/2a-c2XinZqSdl6w 2. On your second question on how to drop weights, the weight pocket on the Backplate & Wing BCD that the diver is using has a quick release buckle. If you look closely where the arrow is pointed on the video, you will see the Quick Release buckle on the weight pocket. If the diver needs to dump weights, the latch is pressed and the weights pulled and dropped. 3. Regarding your comment on clear silicone masks, yes, it allows some level of “peripheral vision” compared to black masks but it discolors with age. Clear silicone also allows artificial and natural light to penetrate through the silicone skirt leading to distracting reflection from the glass. However, in diving environments where light is minimal, clear silicone can work well. I hope this helps. I’m happy to provide more clarity and answer other questions you may have.

@@michaellohr3491 Years ago, during my DM days, I ran across several occasions OoA Situations (different then Low Air). In every one of them, the OoA diver came barreling over my head and grabbed the Reg from my mouth. It also allows you to handle a Panic Diver better. Studies show this is normal, for a lot of reasons. (I spend 30 minutes teaching the whys and why nots). Several years later I learned about Long Hose, this is SO much safer. Now as an instructor, I only teach Yellow Octo's on Request, but they will get a demo and explanation why long. Generally, this is your I only dive once a year and rent gear people. Several Dive Agencies Teach LH in OW classes. Get Trained, it is worth it.

@shun tao thank you for sharing your experience and adding to the benefits of using a long-hose. Your points are succinct and spot on.
