I'm coming back to diving after a long absence and I'm loving all the resources online!
Something I've noticed from looking at youtube videos is how the second stage is gripped when removing and replacing it. I would be familiar with holding the second stage itself, but in the videos some instructors grip the hose and connector instead. One video stated that this was the correct way to hold it.
Does this side-grip come from tech diving? Or do different agencies teach different grips? What are the advantages of the side-grip?
TIA!
