Hi all
As they say 'there are no stupid questions' so....
As a new diver I've had a couple of uncomfortable dives and actually had to abort my ppb specialty dive 2 as I was busting that much (luckily I'd filled the pre requisites, phew!). Maybe I'm overhydrating but regardless, I'll soon be investing in a dry suit and may well get the p valve fitted just in case - in the future I'd be hoping to longer more challenging dives and I reckon it will be good to be comfortable having the option.
So...I get the logistics behind how the whole thing works but not too sure about the etiquette. You're at a busy dive site and you really need to go. Do you swim discreetly off to the side, do you stop swimming and tell your buddy what you are doing so they don't think you have a problem?
Really intrigued to know how it works
