It was amazing to learn (this is over 30 years ago now...) that those damn regulaters did in fact deliver air everytime I asked. Sure, over time and practice, coping without the things not working is a skill all should be HIGHLY skilled at...but the newbie is more fixated on learning to trust the gear, mainly air delivery.
The new found freedom of not coming up to the surface to get more air so I could stay down where I prefer to be is the strongest memory of my dive class. Guess my advice to the beginner would be, this is awsome, but only the BEGINNING. THE REST OF THE CLASS IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT!
