Cutting a Scuba Divers Regulator Hoses

[dwatt5]

is there a procedure to act in this scenario???? not if your buddy cuts your line in a pool lol.... say im 90' and in a cave, meaning i need to make my way out slowly and smoothly.... kink the hose a possibility ?? what about the regulator hose ??? yes i have a pony.... just wandering if its possible to fix for the moment.... i cant afford to chop up gear lol wish i could but cant..... thanks

[FantaseaDive]

Can't stop laughin'! Great job guys!

[ADeadlierSnake]

I wish i had the money to destroy two hoses for the purposes of a video! xD

Great video though guys. It was pretty damn funny =D

[1stab]

For some of us, it was always, "Good morning Mr. Briggs."

[parahuhn]

haha great! :D

[fireboyburnaby]

That is some funny stuff!!! I was a Clearance Diver with the Canadian Navy, and have blown a few hp disks, and a few hoses. Gets loud, but never really had an issue. Hope your underwater staff had fun making that. Stay safe. Cheers, B.

[kaerius]

That's still enough time to make a safe ascent... even from 30m/100ft, though no safety stop of course.

[xbeccaxbeccabecca]

thats so werid i just got certified there!

[shoopdawoop3]

Oh please best way to kill him is a clean slice across the neck

[PiPphiltitley]

why.

[pivotguy2356]

i would have no clue cuz im not a diver and know nothin bout this but couldnt u swim behind him and simply turn the valve off?..... i mean in my head it will stop the oxygen right?

[doditz69]

in a real situation yeah you take your budy safety regulator and then he goes to switch off your tank if you are not able to do it yourself

[petethomson]

Yes, but you can simply reach behind you and turn it back on again.

[xXsmallflameXx]

man i hated that part of my course exept i was in 10 feet of water

[smkedvr73]

Try that at 100ft or more!!!!! Also, I agree with everyone throat+knife??? I wish my CD would let us play like that. You all have entirely way to much time on your hands lol. At least you did it in a pool!

[ScubaToys]

Actually at 100 feet, it is virtually no different in time... Less than 5 second difference.

[tlttlt]

love the waiting music, hilarious... of course at depth this might take less time...  you folks have too much time on your hands...

[bennerhingl]

...the knife... and his throat is right there...

[80cronos]

The best video ever, fun and educational!!!

[scubadiver122]

haha great video

[faris5m1t4l]

lol u should have just shut the valve off

[chris74742]

yeh thats true. it would be so must easier! lol

[diverdown0191]

I really enjoyed that, would've been good too though if you'd done the LP cut behind the back of one of your instuctors while he was conducting the first of the confined water training parts of an OW course. Would pay quids to see the looks on the students faces if ypu did. Do UK do bolt cutters too?

[OmegaIsNear]

LOL!

[ziolkho]

2 minutes at the bottom of a pool. Think how little time for reaction u would have at 30 meters...makes you think doesnt it?

[WillemIIde2]

...think again Ziolkho....

Pushing air out the hose against 1.3 bar ambient pressure, or pushing against 4 bar...... what you think will go faster...?

Nevertheless beter not try this at 30 mtrs... ;-))

[fullhous112]

would prob be the same time.. with 4 bar @ 30 msw, pressing on the balance spring in your first stage

[cabij1958]

@WillemIIde2

2 stage regs don;t work like that. 1st stage reduces pressure to an intermediate pressure - usually 10-11 bar. 2nd stage then reduces this to ambient pressure. Therefore the air escapes from a blown hose at the intermediate pressure regardless of your actual depth. It is also why you need higher performance regulators for deep diving as most regulators will not work at depths greater than 100m (10 bar)

[WillemIIde2]

Hi Cabij,

I hope I know how 2stage regs work, since I've been servicing my own for years now ;-)

I think you are right if you speak about 'balanced first stages' since these always adlust the intermediate pressure to be 10/11 bar above ambient pressure. But speaking about the good old 'not balanced first stages' I stick to my believe that the ambient pressure will work as a 'brake' on the escaping air

Not 100% sure though, so please explain again if I am missing an important point.

Willem

[deitschman231]

100m - 11bar

[HeatedUp89]

Ha ha nice vid!

TIP:

Instead of cool looking Recreational Knives, use a propper dive knife such as a Green River knife. Im not having a dig, just a hint.

Great Vid Guy's, maybe you should do one about A 1ST stage failing :)

[DRAGOS413]

Nice video and a nice shop.

Unfortunately you dont ship in Europe some

scubatoy stuff.

[ScubaToys]

We ship to Europe every day... and throughout the world.

[paronfisk]

Didn't the tank freeze? Did the bang from the HP hose hurt your ears?

[ScubaToys]

No, the tank didn't freeze - you will get some chilling of the first stage - and if in cold water, that could freeze the reg - but we were in an 85 degree pool. And yea... when we cut that hose - it was pretty darn loud - actually scared the heck out of us! But not real ear pain... but it was loud!

[paronfisk]

okay thanx hope we see more videos ill subscribe.

[ozjaybabe]

Excellent sooo funny....really loved how you put it all together and very, very informative.... will pass it on to my instructor partner so he can use it with his students. Thanks heaps for being so creative guys :-)

[scaife12]

hilarious stuff .. good work guys

[kfotoprm]

Excellent!, very funny.Good info too.

[Edwin1425]

Whats Name Crayola?

[andyman9876543210]

God u guys are nuts. U must have had narcosis or somthing...

[soccom8341576]

was that just a free flowing regulator?

[ScubaToys]

No... we cut the hose clean through.

[soccom8341576]

ok, you people are pretty good then...

[armoredguard2]

nice one i enjoy it very much

can you guys do one with the old vitage double airhose????????

please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ScubaToys]

The old vintage double hose stuff was kind of a scam... the air over the left shoulder is actually the exhaust - so they'd always cut that in the movies... the guy still gets air - just his exhausted air comes out the hose instead of going back to the reg behind his head.

[BarryNL]

Cool, thanks SCUBA Toys

[armoredguard2]

Scuba toys

good to know so when i take up scuba dive and get some vintage gear

i can do an dunderwater fight scene get my airhose cut and not drown

thats kool
