Got to ask, but for all these years diving - what has been your planned response to a stuck LPI/uncontrolled inflation, if LPI disconnect wasn't practiced?
a couple of sms 50 bungee questions...

In an emergency I would have disconnected it and worry about potential equipment damage later...this is a different situation from routinely connecting/disconnecting on entry and exit on a shore dive....
Does anyone really remember every item in their OW experience?
I am a professional educator by trade. In education, we teach as well as we can, but we never expect students to remember 100% of what they were taught.
I can't guarantee that every student was taught to disconnect the inflator hose. I am pretty sure it was skipped in my own instruction, along with a number of other requirements. But I can't be positive. I don't have 100% perfect recall of everything I was ever taught in my life.

1998. Disconnect LPI underwater and reconnect was IIRC talked about but I don't recall doing it in OW.
However I do it every SM shore dive that I do, or if I don tanks hung on a line off the boat. The only exception is in winter diving, where my current best practice is to orally inflate the wing, not connect the LPI to prevent inflator hose freeflow.

I agree 100% DevonDiver....this is clearly a deficiency on my part that must be corrected. Thanks for the input shoredivr....
In PADI instruction, it is done during the pool sessions, specifically in CW #2.
