Re: DUMB ASS NEWBIE PONY MISTAKE, Don't be that guy!

Thanks for all that. I will have to reread several times as there is a lot of advice there.

What was surprising to me as that when you do run out of air, it is after you exhale and you learn about it on the in hail. Then to troubleshoot the regulator you have a couple more false inhales and exhales. So basically, in the save your ass moment, you have exhaled 3 times off 1/2 of a normal lung! In my estimate you are lucky if you have 30 seconds before bad things start happening. In my case, this was made worse by murky water and kelp. So everything must be setup to happen by brail. I like changing the shape of the pony regulator and having it up around the neck.
