Valve drill issues with drysuit undies

[Marie13]

Fine, fine, fine ... You do realize that when you get your rebreather, that that is where the valves are gonna be.

I have monkey arms. I could probably flip my HP120s and comfortably access my valves.

I don’t have the proper mindset for diving a RB. I like simple and low maintenance. Having to spend an hour (or whatever it is) both before and after each diving day on maintenance is not my idea of fun. I don’t rinse my gear unless it has something on it from a quarry dive. My gear is taken care of, but I don’t fuss/obsess over it like you have to with a RB.

I have a Fourth Element Arctic one piece - and yesterday on my first time trying I reached that valve.
My Fundies instructor was almost speechless. I was told that it's very rare to get that valve the first time.

Best way for me was to get tilted way head down, and let that tank just tilt enough
towards my head - enough to get my hand back there.
