With dry gloves, I strongly recommend switching ALL your double-enders over from the tear drop plunger to "Big Grip" plunger tabs, which are SO MUCH EASIER to manipulate. Use the "tear drop' plunger dounble enders for warm(er) water diving with wet gloves that are 5mm or less. Strong work, Mate! WELL DONE!!!
5:17 I think your referencing always keep your doubles isolator valve open. When first using doubles and getting a 32% fill I quickly realized this before leaving my dive shop when I gauged my pressure and noticed I was low. Lessons learned, if diving other than air always analyze and check your pressure always before leaving the shop. 🤙🏼🤿😎 Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
Excellent trim, especially if you are new to twins! Side mount next? You will certainly get used to regulator swaps. Vobster is great for this kind of thing, especially on a quiet day mid-week.
Hi Harry, I’ve recently bought myself a backplate & wing having dove a jacket style BCD for a number of years now.. What length should the SPG hose be for a single tank DIR style set-up?… Many thanks in advance, Dean.
I would try with a 26 inch high pressure for single tank. A 24 inch may also weak if you are a bit smaller in torso size. However with dry suit and a bit taller diver I find the 26 inch more comfortable for single tank (and then a bit shorter for double set up).
We are fairly new divers, (check out our videos!) and we are gravitating towards doing a GUE Fundamentals course. We've even had the privilege of doing a fun dive with a GUE instructor which was a super experience!
If you are neutrally buoyant when bringing the reg out, and doing bubbles you may sink. If ascending while bringing the reg out, then it is a good idea to exhale out not to "hold" the breath.
@@annikapersson5087 nope. You don´t blow out a lot of air, but you keep a way open so air can go out in case pressure builds in your lungs. All agencies do that and it`s required. Reg is out, do small bubbles.
Sorry, my answer above remains, and how we teach and do, regulator exchange in GUE. So saying that all agencies teach ’blow bobles when reg is out, is wrong because not all agencies are tesching it that way. Just please let me know If you learnt differenty on your Gue instructor training.
@@annikapersson5087 I`m pretty sure about Raid, Padi, SSI. I wonder why GUE - but you guys are just special - would not open up a way for pressure to escape. Doesn`t make sense. Reg out, make small bubbles. Easy.
@@annikapersson5087exactly GUE is training with with a focus of having a strong presence of mind, knowledge and understanding of whats require of an active diver. Not a holiday excursion check the box experience all smashed up in a twenty minute course on the warm water beaches of Tourist Island. 🫣

Enjoyed this, well done
Thanks for sharing, this is both relatable and helpful ❤

Great fins!

GUE only endorses sidemount at the Cave 2 level.
@@Black6Six Rec side mount has much to offer😊
Good job, not easy skills. Your trim looked good.
Well done this is something that I would like to do
Just go for it, and I'm sure you will learn and enjoy!

I did dry drills with ow, aow and wreck padi
Nice that he’s rocking a Fathom sticker. Didn’t know they got influence in UK
when you remove your reg you don't do much bubble in between exchanges.

Gasmonkey must have slipped up there not checking the isolator before filling.
Its the divers responsibility to do a final QC 🤙🏼🤿😎
You lost me at 1degree air and 8 degree water. 😲
