I lost it when you threw the snorkel. I am rolling on the ground. You are a real scuba diver there sir. 😎
Adam,
Yea... I’m still not quite sure how that got mixed up with my dive gear
Thanks for watching!

I'd love to see a video on your entire scuba storage and hanging system!
Planning on buying my own gear and searched for 'How to clean bcd' and your video came up top. Nice Video btw.
Love the "trash can with a hole" idea. I was using an Ikea storage box but I love your idea better 🙂
Carl's subtle humor is very intertaining... AND the video is informative to boot!
Love the snorkel toss!
Rinsing my gear is as important to me as showering after a dive .... I liked the big trash can tub idea Carl ..... Neat !!! Thanks for sharing .... and happy diving always ....
Ive been using the bathtub, its pretty cold outside lately.
Good video! I recommend unrolling the smb, and drying it inflated. It's a good test for a critical piece of equipment. Keep the videos coming!
This is 5 start quality education and video quality. Keep making these videos Carl!!
Thanks for the tips Carl!
I'd love to see you do a video on how you ceated your dive locker!
I do everything except the tank boot. Now I know. Thanks for sharing!
Where can you buy the inflator connection for flushing water.
Hi Tim,
Here’s a link to the inflator rinsing thingie: amzn.to/2XXDYnp
Thank you so much 😊!!! Very interesting and useful!
can you make a new video about disinfectant diving gear how to washing and how to clean and removing disinfect COVID 19
Great video 👌
Can I submerge my DIN first stage in water with the dust cap ON for rinsing ?
5.34 was brilliant :))
oxiclean once in awhile helps keep the stank out.
Carl, you are frick'n HILARIOUS!
Thanks for the video.
Great idea with the trash bin! How did you attach the tap thing to the hole?
can you make a video on how to make that rinse bucket?
Hi, I just wanted to ask you something. I dive 3 to 4 times a day, and my boss doesn't want me to clean my equipment at lunch time in front of our customers, so I'm forced to let it wet and salty for a couple hours before i go back in the water in the afternoon. Is it really bad for the gear and specially for the regulator to do this everyday ? Or it's fine like this to clean it only every night after the whole diving day.
Thank's for your answer.

Hi Adrian!
I work two charters a day quite often and I NEVER have time to rinse gear in-between trips.
Truth be told..... when the season is really going strong, it’s normal for my kit to get nothing more than a quick blast with the garden hose at the dock at the end of the day.
Sometimes I’ll work 6 or 7 days straight like this. When I get an off day I’ll take the time to let it all soak.
I’ve never had any problems arise from this. It’s just part of being a working diver!

Im jealous im not a working diver and rinsing my gear in between charters is not an issue for me. :)
Make more videos!
Where did you get the valve for the trash can?
I have it on how you have to buy a snorkel to get certified. Well at least for me I mean I'm a scuba diver! When will I use it it's maximum depth is about 33 cm!!!😂
It’s like it tell my open water students...
“I use a snorkel all the time.
When I’m snorkeling.
When it comes to diving, though, I’ve yet to find one that breathes worth a crap at 60’.”
Thanks for watching!

That's the fanciest rinsing thingy I've ever seen. I've only not rinsed my gear once, it's generally a habit.
dharmapunk5,
Thank you!
Here in Alabama we are quite proud of the advancements we’ve made in trash can technology.
The line 'it's a trash can (beat) with a hole in it', was a fun bit of comedic timing. I live on a sailboat so sadly I don't have room for a trash can that size. However, I usually find a way.
So is it ok to wash my wet suit in the washing machine? Room temperature water
I prefer to wash mine by hand, as shown in the video.
Machine washing your suit might be OK in theory, but I prefer not to for a coupe of reasons:
- Wetsuits are somewhat heavy and bulky. It may cause some wear and tear on your machine
- An older style washer with a large agitator may cause some stress on the seams of your suit and lead to premature wear
- Since I wouldn’t use the spin cycle, pulling a large, dripping wet suit out of the machine in my laundry run room makes a bit of a mess.
Thanks for watching!
Does peeing in the wetsuit considered rinsing? Since it's technically not salt water...asking for a friend :P
I assume this is a joke, but if not, just think of it this way: do you think a friend would be okay with another friend smelling like urine whenever they put on their wetsuit?
Leave you dive gear in the back of the car for a few days? Remind me to never dive with you or anyone who carelessly dosent take care of their under water "LIFESUPPORT"
