S DRILL LONG HOSE

In his video you will see a neutrally buoyant demonstration of "S-Drill Long Hose".
An S-Drill is essentially a safety drill. It is important that you check that your equipment is bubble free and functioning properly.
Ideally an S-Drill is performed at around 5 metres/ 15 feet. Because you are at depth and have attained neutral buoyancy, you are assured that your BCD is functioning. A bubble check ensures your kit is not leaking gas unnecessarily. Breathing from both regulators ensures they are both working. Checking your gauge ensures you have enough gas for the intended dive. This video shows an S-Drill in the RAID recommended configuration, the "techreational", long hose (2 metre/7 foot) configuration.
This video is designed to be used by new divers, learning to dive, Divemasters, Instructors and Trainers.
At RAID we believe diving neutrally buoyant is no accident. It's all about proper training.

Shouldn´t you have clipped your long hose regulator before tucking it? If not in use, clip it.

Unless you're doing an S drill at the start of a dive to show the long hose isn't trapped and you have no gas leaks.

Hi Fishes! .... Why do you need long hose anyway?

[@jerrysanders5444]

Needed especially in tight areas (wreck, cave, cavern etc) where if you need to “share air” the other person can be behind you as opposed to facing. The long hose would be donated to your dive buddy and you would use your backup. Secure using your backup first before donating your primary

@@jerrysanders5444 Ohh never though of it. Also I promise myself to avoid cave at all cost. In fact they freak me out
