Scuba Forum / General / May 2006Question for you old timers or wanna be old timers
I am starting to dive with some of my collection. Which means learning new skills. I figured out how to clear water from a double hose regulator. Any hints on buddy breathing?

I'm a bit surprised someone else hasn't already addressed this question. Buddy breathing with a double hose regulator is not nearly as easy as it is with a single hose regulator. The problem is water in the length of hose between the second stage, at the back of your head, and the mouthpiece. It's no harder, however, than clearing your double hose yourself. It just takes two people who know how to do that, diving as buddies. Good luck in finding another one. Lee > I grew up watching Sea Hunt, they always had knife fights and cut > exhaust hoses. I did too. They always buddy breathed by passing the mouthpiece back and forth, which as Lee pointed out has to be more difficult than what we're now using. They ran a bunch of the old shows on a cable channel here a year or so ago, and my favorite was one in which a couple went to Mike to learn to dive - "She was OK, but I had a bad feeling about him, but I needed the money..." >I grew up watching Sea Hunt, they always had knife fights and cut >exhaust hoses.

(Hold up the mouthpiece, wait for the free flow, insert into mouth, roll to the left, inhale carefully, exhale to clear exhaust hose.) You mean they don't still teach buddy breathing? ;-) Or did you mean with a double-hose reg? John Eells No, I don't teach Buddy Breathing, at least not to entry level students. I may require divemaster students to learn double hose buddy breathing Tim >> I am starting to dive with some of my collection. Which means >> learning new skills.

That makes for too many ascents in a day, real tough on me. I do require my DM candidates to buddy breath. And do the equipment exchange. Females are required to exchange swimsuits. >Tim > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> John Eells Signaturedillon I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to become a vegetarian. > >No, I don't teach Buddy Breathing, at least not to entry level students. > > I may require divemaster students to learn double hose buddy breathing [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I do require my DM candidates to buddy breath.

My... ummm... friend wants to know. I had two women students last year. One could (and sigh, did) a thong true justice. The other was a good arguement for burkhas.

The other was a good arguement for burkhas. I'm still in the stage where my opinion is that boobies are boobies and boobies are good. :-) The thong thing sounds pretty nice too. |
