Yep, same story here we did the pool version of turning off the air. I had no problem with it, kinda fun actually
SSI and turning off air?

The anxiety of it, or knowing it was coming was worse than the actual event. In reality though it does prepare a diver to know what it feels like, and put you into thinking mode. It is similar to the Drysuit course, can we all remember holding onto the weight belt and then having the air go to our feet? Tuck and roll, get the air back to the chest area
. Wasnt the most fun part of the training, but it can save your life!

I am NASDS certified and I know it helped me in my 1st out of air situation @ 70' feet with no buddy around, borrowed reg failure was the cause. It sure seemed like a long way up!:shocked2:. IMO any agency that doesn't teach this is doing the student a great dis-service.
