I bet he will pay the price someday for leaving regs in sand. Diving in Scotland is a f***ing challenge drysuit pour visibility etc.

Ya, doin it with a drysuit sucks.

Seems like a lot of work to check the regs, go sidemount then you just look down to see your regs.

take a dry suit en try again, it is easy like this, but nice video
well done man. when …
well done man. when i was taking my open water course a couple of weeks aggo (and passed) we had to do that but just with ordianry equipment. i bet doing it with tech divin equimpent is harder coz you got like twice as much of everything coz of the 2 tanks. lol. XD

Well done…good …
Well done…good buoyancy. It takes a lot of courage to post skills on Youtube…everyone is a critic. I personally would not let the reg fall into the dirt, but your mileage may vary….(and yes I have done and teach this skill clipped.)
Cheers!
Good trim my a** He …
Good trim my a** He even touched the bottom.
I have done this skill in my dry suit with no probs what so ever. Dont even se the reason of not doing this skill while breathing with the longhose???? Do it in a drui suit like i did and then we can talk. Leaving the reg in the sand like that, com on!!!
Great video… …
Great video…thanks.. I tend to think it will be a hard thing to do with a trilam drysuit, especially with thermo undies, but man you did a great job with the video, keep them comming.
Hehehe, yes of …
Hehehe, yes of course… diving is supposed to be fun too
OR, you could avoid …
OR, you could avoid solo diving, reach the valves while wearing the kit, and gain assistance from your team with entanglement. Perhaps the best answer is the last, comfort and watermanship practice and just plain old “goofing around”.
Btw, the diver in …
Btw, the diver in the video is not me, its Instructor Trainer Cedric Verdier. I hold the camera…
And for whoever …
And for whoever says that clipping it off to the right D-ring is “correct”. That is DIR, but DIR does not remove-replace gear at all (and yes, there’s plenty of applications for that, primarily for solo divers, stuck valves, misc faults, entaglement, watermanship exercise etc)
All of you should try these things in the water thoroughly before making comments.
Have you actually …
Have you actually tried leaving the longhose clipped yourselves? I really don’t think so.
Most divers entangle themselves and/or get the longhose stuck beneath harness etc at an unacceptably high rate. The idea is to leave the longhose secondary extended for minimalized entanglement. There is little or no risk leaving it hanging or on sand. Any particles in the reg are easily rinsed. Compared to the trouble and time it takes sorting out an entagled longhose, it is worth the tradeoff.
Yeah good trim, but …
Yeah good trim, but I have to agree with ‘pbmonster3000′, clipping off the long hose to the right D-ring instead of throwing the reg in the sand.
why do you need to …
why do you need to replace your ‘gear’???? That’s very backwards.
you got good trim.. …
you got good trim… i’ll give you that.
but…. you take your primary, and throw it into the sand/dirt…??? why would you do that instead of the correct thing… clip it off to a D-ring?? and also, pulling your rig back on by the inflator? WOW.
If you need to …
If you need to squeeze through a tight spot maybe?
Nice video.
In …
Nice video.
In drysuit, you would problably want to get the set over your head instead. The arms are a bit difficult to get out of the webbing otherwise.
do not really know …
do not really know the point of that…nice trim though!
Any change of you …
Any change of you posting this w/ a drysuit and steel doubles? I can do it all day long wet w/ singles and wet w/ doubles, but the procedure for doffing full 130′s with a drysuit and thick undergarments escapes me. Great vids btw.
