I got certified when I was 12. Nobody really thought anything of it. I did the same stuff as everyone else in the class (even tables) and passed the same tests. It was 1986 though. Kids back then didn't seem to have as many "issues" as they do today, times are definitely much different.
Yeah, I meant "cheap". You can almost buy a real boat for what a Hobie costs.... They only have flapping "fins" not a real propeller. And their draft sucks for skinny flats
Am I correct in assuming that you have no way to "turn it off"? Once you install the 1st stage on a tank and fill it, you have constant air pressure in it unless the tank is empty? If this is the case, then yes, setting the IP will be an interesting feat without draining the tank. You could hook...
What is the IP? Your drysuit doesn't really care what the 1st stage IP is.

My local dive shop said the opposite and kept filling my PST tanks the last time. They are a DOT approved hydro testing facility, so they definitely know the regs.
