Hood filling with exhailed air

[Rick Inman]

David,
Let me solve your problem with the hood filling up with air.

Turn your hood around. The big opening goes on the front of your head.

You're welcome.

I had already trimmed the hood to be clear of the mask skirt, but it is close. Holes should work, but then I'll be a bubble head. And the soldering iron is warming up, thanks.

The hood seems to fit alright, but I alternate from exhailling through the reg and through my nose, this helps purge my mask of water (mustache leak). When I exhail through my nose, I think this is when the air gets into the hood (I don't know I can't see it). But it sounds like I'll be trying some hoes in the hood.

Kudos for being innovative but you don't want to have to dive that way. Is there an alternate exhaust T available for your regulator? That may help.

Heh. He said, "Hoes." Heh.

Hoes in the head??? Might hurt a bit. How about holes in the hood? Works well. Even us warm water wusses use a hood and have put holes in the hood, on top and over the ears. I put the hood on, marked my ears with chalk then used the hot nail over a candle (no propane torch). works fine.

With the hood on? Ouch, you Conch divers are tough.

LOL...guess I should of mentioned that I took the hood off when using the hot nail..
but yeah, for wusses, we are tough!
