Does anybody have a good mnemonic for buddy-checks which they would be willing to pass on ?
I was taught buddy-checks by two instructors - both of whom I would recommend to anybody wanting to learn to dive. However, neither of my instructors used a standard sequence of checks, and they also didn't use mnemonics to help students remember that set sequence.
I am an experienced flyer - mainly gliders - and also a teacher. I know from long experience that students benefit from learning 'by rote' - learning a set sequence and sticking to that sequence, even when they become much more experienced. (I, and many other glider pilots, still use C.B.S.I.F.T.C.B. for pre-flight checks, even many years after first training).
So do any of the instructors or other experienced divers reading these boards have a favourite mnemonic they can recommend ?
Many thanks in anticipation.
