How to shoot an SMB on a CCR without having your lung come out of your nose
Diving CCR presents a challenge to shoot an SMB. If you're doing dives inn the ocean you'll need a big (1.8m / 6ft) SMB and get it full so that it doesn't drag you around.
Basically, the best way to really fill the SMB is to use an inflator and this also means no messing around with the loop.
I'll make a team SMB vid soon - that's way quicker, slicker and arguably safer.

    In the 3rd scenario with 3x deco gases why do we need to use 35/25 helium mix if you can safely use normal air to ascend from 56m to 36m ... you will be spending there ~7minutes so there won't be too much of a risk of narcosis if you are seasoned diver.

    • @gbdivering
      @gbdivering 21 день тому

      you can use whatever gas you want - I think you'll find a huge difference in numbers that a deco program churns out for air vs 36/25 - I don't believe there is any imperical support for people being able to adapt to narcosis. If I bailout out I want the clearest head possible not to mentional potentially synergistic o2, narcosis, co2 and decompression issues

    The sudden increase in buoyancy for a true freeflow could be hard to manage without immediate venting of the loop (e.g. via nose and/or lips). This is one reason why some instructors still teach nose/mouth venting + dil flush drill (incl. exhale dump open with right hip upwards) while closing the O2 valve, prior to the bailout. But YMMV. With a BOV it is never too early for sanity breaths.

    • @gbdivering
      @gbdivering Місяць тому

      Pretty sure that’s what I talk about (venting volume from mouth). You can’t empty counter lung and shut o2 at same time as they are on the same side. Furthermore, a bov is not gonna help as now you can’t vent the loop via mouth (or nose)

    • @justinthedeeps
      @justinthedeeps Місяць тому

      @@gbdivering yes we are venting thru nose/mouth while closing oxygen, which is an immediate response to the buoyancy change. Then dil flushing while on loop, further managing buoyancy. Other instructors also teach an alternative method of bailing out first and closing oxygen, then venting loop via pull cord only. YMMV depending on the buoyancy situation

  • @justinthedeeps

    • @gbdivering

      Bov doesn’t help at all since your primary issue is the excess buoyancy

    • @justinthedeeps
      @justinthedeeps Місяць тому

      @gbdivering this is in support of your very quick and convenient bail out to BOV at 0:20, which is maximally quick and tidy, allowing for a quick valve shut and loop dump via counterlung OPV (right hip elevated). Though perhaps slightly less quick re: buoyancy as the on-loop close / flush / dump reaction. A distant third place goes to anything involving a necklaced or staged regulator.

  • @harald-o
    @harald-o Місяць тому

    I haven´t tried this, but nylon tends to stretch quite a bit if wet. You can observe this phenomenon in the nylon threads you fix your bolt snaps with, and this is also the reason why your nylon tent will become limp in the morning from internal and external condensate, even if it hadn´t rained. Therefore I´d be concerned that this technique might cause my mouthpiece to leak or even come off, and the only factor preventing this from happening might be the snug fit between the second stage and the rubber of the mouthpiece itself. I´d rather find a rope material that doesn´t stretch in water. This tendency to stretch is a crucial factor why you always should melt down the ends into the knot, otherwise any knot from a nylon thread would come off as soon as you hit the water, even more if it´s braided cord. Otherwise, thank´s for your great videos, I am feeling equally entertained and educated on a high level. Thumbs up!

    Very interesting video. I was always told that using your lungs for buoyancy is the proper way to do it and a skill you want to master as you improve your diving skills. Rarely ever touching your inflator is being seen as a good indicator for having mastered your buoyancy skills. I guess this is kinda true/viable as long as you only consider recreational diving, but it certainly gets you in trouble on a rebreather where you can't use this technique anymore. Thanks for sharing this very different perspective on the topic.

    • @gbdivering
