Advanced Open Water with Trim & Buoyancy with Chairman Pete (NetDoc) at Anthony's Key...

[The Chairman]

Let's be sure we have the right Sausage/SMB gang. These will be far, far harder to obtain in Roatan.

They should be at least 4 ft long, though 6 ft is preferable. They need to have an OPV (Over Pressurization Valve) and a push valve that can be either orally inflated or can also use your inflator hose. Halcyon makes the best and the most expensive one out there. It so happens that it's the one I dive with.

The correct valve. Notice the valve is straight and smooth.

The far more common but unsuitable valve.
The rubber cushion gets in the way of using the hose. ​

I would like the finger spool to be 50 to 100 foot in length. NO REELS!!!

Correct Reel. Simple with a Stainless Steel Double Ender.
No handles, no inserts, just simple, simple, simple.​

If you're unsure, please post a pic of your gear so we can be sure.

So this is the safety sausage that came with the NetDoc Safety package from Dive Right In Scuba. The mouth piece looks a little different. This isn't the Hog brand. @The Chairman

@The Chairman, when I log into NASE and use the 'verify diver certification' it only shows my Nitrox, no mention of AOW.

 

[The Chairman]

There's always one, isn't there? Thanks, I failed to tick the checkbox that you were certified, so it's all done now!
