Subject: Re: Switching regs underwater
To: techdiver@aquanaut.com
I am sure it's been covered, but I've had to switch regulators underwater
several times (fresh water) and have never had a problem.  In fact, the only
thing I did to the regs afterwards was blow out any water that might have
entered the hp gauge/hose followed by purging gas through the reg to make sure
everything was dry.  Switching under saltwater would probably require a bit
more care, but regardless, the regs work.  If ever needed, you can also get
some 'save your ass' time by breathing straight from the cylinder.  You might
practice this, however, to prevent blowing the back of your head off.
