Yes, and they will until they die.People are still teaching that?!

Not necessarily. Mostly just ingrained into them. They were taught that way and can't fathom that their instructor taught them incorrectly.Let me guess - PADI?
?? PADI has nothing in its training material about turning a valve back a quarter turn. That comes by word of mouth to young instructors from old divers, and never gets questioned. Along with a mask on your forehead means you are panicked, and don't ascend faster than your slowest bubbles. Scuba myths.Let me guess - PADI?
Hello,Can you elaborate on that please? How would you see it? I am very new and have not encountered that in real life.
The MH8A transmitters only send the data about every 5 seconds. So it is easy to take 2-3 breaths, have the pressure drop and recover, all within 5 secs. So the trick is to take more time doing it. Or do it twice, not one right after the other.Hello,
Well, pressure dropped when inhaling and took some time to raise up again. I checked the valve in question, opened it completely and everything was back normal.
Best wishes Jens
