As my family continues with our diving quest, and as I am wanting to push them towards more competency and comfort under the water, are there any reasons to not practice a regulator retrieval or two during safety stops? As long as everyone keeps exhaling and blowing bubbles during the drills I assume off gassing is covered. With the line as a guide, it also seems like a good place to practice maintenance of neutral buoyancy during some task loading (with the benefit of not being around anything fragile we can harm).
Good, bad, indifferent? I would really prefer reg retrieval to be a non-event if it were ever to arise as an event)
Practicing SMB deployment on our next dive.
