Excelente video, consejos seguidos al pie de la letra.
Thank you.
Clipping a second stage to the BCD? That's a no-no for me. Other than that, very instructional.
What I don’t like about the clip on the regulator hose is the added weight pulls the mouthpiece out of your mouth. You would bite down harder giving you jaw fatigue
I love your videos, and your attention to detail. There are a number of things I have picked up from you, in terms of my sidemount configuration. Keep them coming!!
I'm not a big fan of attaching regulators with an unbreakable bolt snap. I attach mine, always, with a break away attachment in case I need it in a hurry.
Over 300 dives…never had a double ended clip accidentally open on me. These OCD DIR divers are always coming up with solutions to problems that don't exist.
For the light, just use a zip-tie.
Hi … I'm watching your video.
I am not accustomed to English, so I have limited understanding.
From 14: 10 onwards, a bolt snapshot appears on spg
Why ? Should I use Big Eye Bolt Snaps?
Is it because your fingers have to go in?
I heard it somewhere, but I want to check it out …….
Thanks for the video
What kind of line should be used? Does it have to be nylon? Is polypropyeln just as good? (I know, spare line from a reel could be used, but let‘s assume I don‘t wanns do this).
Very useful, good video. Thank you.
Thanks. Very useful. I've used this technique to attach boltsnapt to lights, GoPros, etc. I also learned from your tackling video how to mark and wrap my boltsnaps with a similar orange hi-viz line. Easy to identify above and under water and improves grip.
Verry interesting Video! Thx for Upload!
Brother Diver- Achim, I learned VERY good stuff from you today! Many thanks to you sir, for an exceptional presentation!
I most certainly agree with Greg below. Some instructional videos are pretty lame, but THIS video here is NOT! The gentleman doing this instructional video is easy to understand, takes his time in the explanation segment(s), and gives a CLEAR view of EACH process. He is a most excellent teacher, + I'd go diving with him anytime!
ALPHA/OMEGA
after seeing this…I thank god I'm freediver! hahaha
Very informative! thank you very much interesting video!
Regarding connection II stage to bolt snap with an oring. You can always change the oring after every dive if you are so uncertain if it will work when it's needed. As it comes to cutting line between the bolt snap and the regulator, well I don't think you will have time to cut it when someone needs it . I know that DIR tells different, but in my opinion oring is better in that case.
Hello excuse me for my english. I'm spanish, what is the name in spanish of this type of CORD?
Great video two questions do you recommend flex hoses? And have you ever experienced any problems using them?
It will be probably hard to believe but Apeks itself recommends to tie a boldsnap with regulator hose using an o-ring and cable zip…
for example on this sheet: http://www.enurek.pl/produkt-21-Automat_oddechowy_Zestaw_2x_XTX50_DST_SIDEMOUNT-1372-.html
After your demo I will obviously do it in your way.
I remember you saying it somewhere but I can't find again. What size bolt snaps do you recommend for certain pieces of gear i.e. 2nd stage, reels, backup lights, spg, etc. Thank you for your help and I am really enjoying the videos.
Love the videos…. I have seen on some of your videos you use a double ended on the regulator instead of a bolt snap. I would like to try it but do not see a video.
I have elbows on my side mount regs. If I attach to the elbow they are hard to clip off if I tie to the hose the flop around a lot. I think the double ended will be great solution. Thoughts?
Can you make a video?
very helpful although I'm wondering the reason why you tied the light differently from the reel or reg?
Great video, super clear, simple and informative. Thank you
Why would you fasten a bolt snap permanently to a reel???
Does paracord line work with boltsnap?
Achim, I'm wondering why do you use the bigger Boltsnap for the SPG? Is it for the comfort for holding it?
Which hose is better Myflix or the rubber for the 2nd stage? Thanks.
where can i get a spool of this cordage you use?
