Got a question for all of you...
Now that my daughter and I have about 20 dives under our belts, we've noticed that by having both the gauge console and low pressure inflator on the left hand side of the BC (second stage and octo on right), we don't seem to have enough hands to vent the BC, hold and view the depth gauge and hold our right arm over our heads as we ascend at the end of a deep dive. We were taught in BOW and reinforced in the ddep dive that you should keep one hand/arm above your head, turning the body during ascent to have a full 360 view above. Yet we also need to vent air and watch ascent rate.
How do you accomplish these three tasks with 2 limbs?!?
