Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.

Most of the first 7 minutes to prove that SPGs can't explode when they can and do! I have pictures of a friend's that did explode and he was saved by his training. The fact that there is only a pinhole in the hose is irrelevant if the Bourden spiral leaks air slowly into the housing until it does explode. This video should be considered dangerous.

Holy shit guys! I teach all these things at the pool with my NEW students.

I also show the students why the cylinder valve should be all the way open (NOT turned back 1/4 turn) and what it can look like on the SPG as the diver breathes the air out of the 1st stage reg body and all the hoses empty and then refill…

YES…!!! The SPG doesn't tell you how much gas you have it CONFIRMS it…!!!

If I didn't know better, I'd say your were NAUI instructors, but nobody's perfect… LOL. Just kidding…
