question about tech guy/ DIR diver regulator clip
So I keep noticing that the DIR or tech divers always seem to have a clip on the regulator they breathe - whether its a long hose secondary or not. I was wondering what its purpose is.

Re: question about tech guy/ DIR diver regulator clip
all the guys i know that have a clip...including me...have it on a long hose. either a 5ft or 7ft hose, basically to keep the regulator clipped off close to the equpment while on the boat to keep it from going a-stray.
7ft of hose is alot to keep track of. but clipping the 2nd stage off on the D clip on the shoulder strap keeps it out of the way.

You talking about this one.?
I would say that it is for stowing the reg on your right shoulder when using your decompression gases. Maybe.? Dago.

Re: question about tech guy/ DIR diver regulator clip
Thanks Dago. That makes sense too. I'm gonna put a small bolt snap on my regular setup to keep my second stage from falling in the sand on beach dives.
