That's what I have been wondering the entire thread, why would you ever want to hold onto a SMB to ascend when you can just hand over hand it up the line?

Yep that one is super easy, "Ok no big deal." I would be much more upset finding out my buddy pushed into something they were not comfertable with, we would be having a talk after that one if that was ever the case.

This is part of the reason I am switching that out to an Octo as well amongst other reasons.

Wow only a bit over an hour and already all these great responses. Thanks to everyone! Yes what got me thinking was if I had a stuck inflator. Glad to see I was thinking down the right road. I appreciate the responses!

Ok been through two OW classes and this wasn't discussed in either. Not sure if it's not part of the PADI curriculum or if I just missed it twice haha. LP inflator hose how do you disconnect it at depth. Same as on the surface I would assume? Once disconnected can it be reconnected...

I am currently diving a Zeagle Octo+ and went through a refresher course which was my g'f OW course. The instructor made some very valid points about my set up, and got me thinking about it. I am getting ready to change mine out to an octopus this week actually because for me the risks out...

Well I'm new to the board just found it today, haven’t done much looking around yet. Little bit about me first. I got my Padi OW cert. when I was a student at Virginia Tech thinking I was gonna go into marine bio. When I graduated I went on a trip to Cozumel and did a couple dives down...
