Hey folks Ive been doing a bit of small boat diving where its easier/safer to gear up in the water.
So with my WI BC I pump it up . Lower it over the side on a short line,roll in then gear up.
Ive found its a heck of a lot easier to get into the gear by facing the gear with arms crossed in front. slide my lower arms into the straps then just uncross my arms. This spins the gear around onto my back and the shoulder straps slide into place on my shoulders.
It works every time in any condition I've dived in.
But Im going to be doing a fair bit of diving with my kids in a couple of weeks.
Can anyone see an issue with this method of gearing up?
I can't think of any but just in case --- I just don't want to set a bad example for the kids
