Okay, so we all know that Bruce Willis Releases Awful Films =
BCD
Weights
Releases
Air
Final Okay
but what exactly is included under each heading, and who checks what?
I ask because it sometimes seems like every diver I've dived with, including several instructors, does their buddy check a slightly different way. Some check the location of the releases at the same time as checking the BCD at the start. Some have their buddy hold the SPG whilst they breathe through the octo, others have their buddy breathe through the octo whilst they check the SPG, etc. etc.
So, how do you do yours? Exactly what should be included? Any advice on ensuring that absolutely everything that should get checked gets checked?
Another question: for a shore dive, if you're kitting up where the van is parked with a walk down to the shore for the, would you leave the air valve turned on, then don your BCD to walk down to the shore, or turn it off before you don it and walk down? Or doesn't it matter?
Your help and advice appreciated, as always.
