Hi everyone!
I just have a quick question. First off, I'm new to the scuba diving world and am just getting my kit together to start my initial dive training. So, as a scuba virgin, I'm not all that knowledgeable about my gear.
My question is this: I just received my primary regulator and octopus and, being the typical kid-at-heart, I immediately put them in my mouth. Now, this is where I became confused. I can't breathe through them with ease. Does it have to be connected to air tanks for them to work? When I attempt to breathe through them now it sounds as though the diaphragm is flapping quickly back and forth. Is this normal or are they broken?
Thanks all!
Sean
