Why don't we emphasize cesa more??

Don't need no spare air mate, not with a CCR.

Nah, its the open circuit bailout

I just passed my OW and had to do CESA as part of the skills requirements. This was done at 35', in 52 F. I had to keep my reg in my mouth but my instructor warned me that he could hear if I inhaled. He did hear. I had to do the skill over again. I finally made it to surface after the 3rd try. Kudos to my instructor for attempting to train me right. Now, I just need to work on hovering!

Can anyone recognize every piece of equipment he has on him? I think I see a light saber, but good luck finding it when the shark attackes.

I recognize most of it.

It is INCREDIBLY hard to keep your gear neat when on CCR. There is just so much stuff to deal with. I hooked up my very clean hog rig to dive a Megaldon CCR, and it was a really a lot of stuff. It looks cleaner in a config where the counterlungs are backmounted, but that has it's own issues.
