No more 1/4 turns! (This has proven by professionals to not be the best way to leave your valve open.) Open your valve all the way to prevent any issues whilst diving! Other than that, great video for a refresher! Thank you!

Sorry dear am a professional, cmas course director, PADI instructor, Tec dive instructor, former army diver, owner of a diving center, certified over 5000 students including instructors. With over 20000 dives. Open your tank and close a 1/4 turn is the proper way. The only thing he has done wrong is purge the 2nd stage when opening the tank to avoid sudden high pressure to the piston of the 1st stage. Also inflate BCD and leave for something minutes to check if there's any puncture then test the lpi ( both ways 1st deflate with lpi push button then deflate by pulling lpi hope) inflate and deflate again. Inflate again and check both quick purge. Check all buckles. Breath in both 2nd stage and octopus to check they're working properly at the same time check the quality of the air in the tank. When you breath the spg needle must not move. If it moves it indicates that may be the spg in not ok or the tank isn't properly open or 1st stage problem

@@odeltarkhan3033 Most places have stopped teaching the back a 1/4 turn. I agree with everything else you said, but the the valve is very unlikely to stick if you open it all the way. What is more likely is confusion of a buddy diver on whether the valve is open or closed. Say for example a diver suddenly has problems with airflow, maybe they didn't open the valve fully etc, a fully open or full closed valve is an immediate indication to a buddy. If it doesn't turn one way the buddy knows it is either fully closed (thus causing the issue), or fully open and so the problem is something else. The 1/4 turn just adds confusion, that way the valve is floating between open and closed and the buddy might not know if they are opening or closing the valve. Each to their own, but this is like CPR, it gets updated every few years with new rules and guidance.

It's always a good idea to wet the strap that holds the cylinder onto your BCD before assembly. These straps get softer and can stretch slightly once they're wet, especially if they dried with salt water not washed out properly from the previous dive. This demo has two straps but many BCDs only have one. Having the cylinder slide out of the strap a few minutes into the dive will upset your trim badly and may even pull the second stage out of your mouth.

@@Aidanhallbass Been diving for over 30 years with over 10,000 immersions. Have yet to find someone confused by the 1/4 turn and your claim it is dangerous is hyperbolic. There is no danger in a 1/4 turn back when the valve is already several rotations own. The reason you should not peg the valve all the way open it is the same reason you do not go 100% with most mechanical equipment, and that is having a margin of error for mechanical failure in the case of the unknown shit that can happen in the unforgiving environment that can be the salty sea. The other reason is that when it is pegged, it is hard to know which direction it is pegged (open or close) when the system is already charged. If the valve has give, you know the valve is open and is supplying air.

I think the "getting-in" clip is just decorational. There are a lot more things to be done before diving. Checking the diving place (first aid things locations etc), dive briefing, buddycheck,... For setting up your dive gear there is a more indepth procedure than this video shows. First your should try to breathe without pressure on it, to check the outgoing valves are sealing properly. Then open the valve while having the purge button on one breathing-thing (don't know English name) pressed in, once the air start coming out release the purge button. This is to prevent a big shock of pressure on all the equipment. Then you should smell te air to see if nothing is wrong with the air. Then you breathe through the primary and backup breathing-things. And check the gauge that the needle is not moving. I think they should take this video offline as it's misleading and a cause for dangerous situations due to being incomplete.

If you need to do a valve drill underwater, and tern the valve 1/4 and it locks that means that it was on and that the other way is off. if you dont do that, you could think that because you cant tern the valve from the start, the tank must me off. making u accidentally close the tank valve. :/ Also i think it also has t do with the O-ring in the valve opening it all the way may have negative effects on that ring.

@seikibrian86416 жыл бұрын
The 1/4 turn back was from the old pillar valves in the 1960s that would sometimes get stuck if they were left turned on "hard." But it's not only unnecessary with modern valves, it's actually dangerous and is no longer recommended, although many instructors still teach it because they don't know any better. "That's how we've always done it." How is it dangerous? Let's say you accidentally turn the valve the wrong way, turning it off, and then back 1/4 to just barely on. You take a test breath and you get air, and your pressure gauge shows full pressure, so down you go. Now you're down at 60 feet where you need a LOT of air with each breath, but your flow is restricted because your valve is only 1/4 open. Since 1/4-from-full-on feels the same as 1/4-from-full-off when you turn the handle, other than the direction you turn...DON'T DO IT! Turn it all the way on, or all the way off and you'll never have a problem. 100% open is now standard teaching from PADI, NAUI, SSI, DAN, etc. for a good reason. There is NO good reason to turn back 1/4.

Seriously I really wish to know your experience in diving cause you seem to have none. And for any decent diving sir you mess with their equipment they will refund you and ask you to leave. And for your knowledge in the diving professional world certified divers don't mean experienced divers. You know how many diving centers do the illegal practice of certifying divers who didn't pass the exams. In some parts of the world you are certified as long as you pay. In hotels and busy diving destination being certified doesn't not depend on whether you pass the exams but as long as you pay you get certified which is very unsafe and illegal practice. I have seen seen diving center licking celebrities singers actors political figures feet. These people will decide how their course will be carried on and for some diving centers it's ok with them. You have no idea of the diving business mate you're just talking to make noise. Seriously why the hell exam b exists????? If you fail you learn again there should not be any exam b. It's like the diving federation cares for your money not your safety. You fail exam A oh no not a big deal we also have exam b. Most certified open water divers lack experience. I certified over 5000 students including instructors and with over 20000 dives under my belt. AND BY THE WAY IF YOU WERE IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD OF DIVING YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT A DIVER'S BEHAVIOUR DOESN'T NOT DEPEND ON HIS CERTIFICATION LEVEL BUT ON HIS CHARACTER. SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY RECKLESS IN LIFE AND IN DIVING TOO. TRY TO DIVE WITH A CELEBRITY OR A HIGH CLASS BUSINESSMAN IF YOU DON'T HAVE PATIENCE AND AUTHORITY YOU WILL END UP TELLING HIM TO LEAVE YOUR PREMISES.

The word you should have used is "it's," which is a contraction of "it is." You also wrote a run-on sentence.

Many people asking why you should keep the valve with 1/4 give. There are two good really reasons. 1) To allow for a margin of error in mechanical failure. Important in the case of the unknown shit that can happen in the unforgiving environment that is the salty sea. This is true for all mechanical equipment, not just scuba tanks. Valves can and do get stuck open for all kinds of reasons, which causes all kinds of issues, especially if another emergency arises. If you have some give, you can usually do something about it. 2) When the valve is fully pegged, it is hard to know (during a check) which direction it is pegged (open or close) when the system is already charged. You could potentially peg it closed and never know. A pegged valve has a chance of being fully open or fully closed. An unpegged valve will always be open.. If the valve has give, you know the valve is open and is supplying gas. It is unfortunate and confusing as to why some youtube instructors do not teach this any more, there are real engineering and safety reasons to keep doing it. It is one of the easiest things to do.
