What caught my eye was the "commercial defog only" for masks. I.e., no more spitting in masks?Yes, there is a link to the PDF on their website.
Very reasonable, I see no regulator configuration requirements. Supplying your own mouthpiece for rental regs is interesting, have not seen this before. Boat policy seems well conceived
I noted that also. Equipment that has touched the face, masks/regulators (hoods, hooded vests?) do not go directly into the rinse tub, but into the sanitizing tub 1st. Perhaps prohibiting spitting into your mask decreases the load on the sanitizing tub?What caught my eye was the "commercial defog only" for masks. I.e., no more spitting in masks?
I would not assume that. We've only heard from two places so far -- Buddy Dive and Dive Friends -- and they are not the same. Capt Don's has been silent. However, by Christmas...who knows what might happen?This is a great find, we are going there over Christmas, and I am very sure these will still be in effect (we are going to Captain Don's but I assume they will be same)
I note, under Course Procedures:
"Only one person uses a mouthpiece until disinfection can reoccur."
So, if you are taking a course, there will be no Primary donate.
Excellent. Do you also teach them not to breath from it to test it?-On a personal note: -
All our rental gear has a short hose primary regulator, and a bit longer hose for the secondary regulator. Entry level divers very rarely come in with their own gear.
Since we (mostly) teach PADI courses, we teach our OW students to take / receive the yellow longer hose secondary regulator preventing students to breath from the same regulator someone else used before.
