HELLO SB
Brief introduction...I am a career firefighter of 10 years, married, one kid, and getting ready to take my OW class. I have picked out my LDS and worked out the schedule for my class. I have done the PADI explore scuba?? on a couple trips and had a good time so the DW and I are going to get certified.
I have been lurking here for a few weeks and reading mass quantities of posts, trying to learn as much as I can before the class starts.
So here is my question: Why does the tank valve go up? In my world the tank valve goes down. I've done a couple of searches and haven't been able to find the answer. I know it probably a simple reason but just one of those curiosity things.
I can't remember the history exactly but I'm pretty sure our SCBAs came from SCUBA set ups. Wondered why the difference between the two.
Thank you
