    Reaching the tank valve

    Your trim does need to be spot on in order to do this with ease although saying that, I dive with someone who can't reach their valves regardless due to shoulder problems. He has simply flipped his rig upside down. A valve guard and some longer hoses allows you to do this with ease. It's not...
