Is there any agency that actually teaches over the head donning of gear? I was actually taught that as and"option" by a PADI Instructor who was also LA County Certified.
I actually prefer it because it is quick and I feel in control of the gear. I feel the more time I spend trying to put gear on, the higher chances I have of losing balance or losing control and swinging the gear around.
I understand PADI does not approve of this and I was wondering what the origins are of this method and is it still being taught by any agencies. I don't see too many new divers donning over the head.
