No seriously... This may be a dumb question but when turning on your tank you still hold an ai dive comp away from everyone right?
How do you hold your air integrated dive comp....

Why would you? I don't hold it away really, sometimes I even turn the tank on with that hand

Turning away an SPG is done to prevent (or limit) injury in the event of the face exploding. I don't know if doing the same with an AI computer will help. I generally look at my AI computer while pressurising the system - I just turn the air on really slowly. This is beneficial for the regulator seats more than anything else.

:rofl:
I don't think it matters with an AI comp...it's not gonna blow up due to overpressurization or something :light:

I don't know, I've got a wireless air integrated (the Atmos Elite T3). I face it away every time I turn the tank on. You never know when the tranmitter is going to transmit extra hard and blow the wrist comp...

No i don't no even with a SPG aleast not the way they told you.
I'll look at the face of the SPG and not the rear.:no
And why will you ask?? well in case of a HP blowout the front will not come of,
but the small rubber plug at the rear end will shoot in your face.

Oh, right, if it's a non-wireless I don't know if it matters, really. I don't think it should.

Whenever I turn my tank on I point the wireless wrist receiver away from anyone who could be hurt by it shattering.<G>
All of the AI (non-wireless) computers that I've looked at have their pressure sensor right down next to the distal end of the hose and thus the housing does not pressurize like an SPG, but I still turn them away when I turn the air on, old habits die hard.

I just let it hang ...
