Reaching your valves?

[WVMike]

Except that the entire point of the valve-drill is (was?) supposed to allow the diver to "get" the connection between right/left posts and regulators (i.e. the act of breathing down the regs drills into you what regulator is attached to what posts)

Seems like you lose that correlation here and a lot of the benefit. No ?

I see your point there, hadn't thought of that. Was only thinking of not lugging all that weight around the house to practice.

First things first. If you can't reach the valves, you certainly can't do a valve drill. Second, try your regs; it they're diaphragm regs, you might be able to breathe through them without being hooked up to a tank. If that's the case, just stick them on the manifold as you normally would, then it would be exactly as if you were diving tanks. Well, except they'll be harder breathing.
