My training on my rEvo was to use a gag strap. Other rEvo instructors teach the rEvo with no gag strap.
I have never seen anyone else diving a CCR with a gag strap besides myself and my buddy who did the training alongside me - and he quit using his right after we finished the training.
I find it annoying, but I have stuck with doing it like I was trained, up until just my last few dives (I've just hit 50 dives on my unit), where I have been trying it with no gag strap, to see how I like it that way.
A buddy of mine is based in the UK and has dived CCR all over the world. He regularly does dives >60m and has done more than a handful past 100m. He said he's never seen anyone using a gag strap out in the real world.
I'm just curious what the folks here do. If you do use one, are you certified for MOD1, 2, or 3? I am particularly curious what the more experienced CCR divers, who are doing >60m dives, do.
Thanks.
