    A non-diver once asked me "Why do do you have to buy air? If the tank is empty, why can't you just open the valve and let air flow in?"

      "Well," I would tell him, "I could do that, but it would be moisture-laden, dusty air, and it would only be enough air for a few breaths at the surface, and no breaths underwater because the water pressure squeezing my chest would be stronger than the air pressure coming from the tank."

  • @anonanon3066
    @anonanon3066 Год назад +6

    That's awesome! One little thing i would have liked to hear is the actual part that ensures the air pressure is the same as the environmental pressure, rather than the 10 bars.
    As soon as the lever gets pulled, the 10 bar air flows inside the second stage. That air presses the diaphram away from the lever. As soon as the pressure inside the second stage is the same as the environemntal pressure, the diaphram is pushed so far out, that it is in its initial state and is no longer holding the lever down, airflow stops, and thus the pressure won't increase any further.

    When you walked away from the tank (stepped out of the frame), I felt it in my gut and instictively tried to jump to hold the tank. I'm trained to pretty much treat tanks like potential bombs.
    Nice explanation of the regulators, this is a video I can refer my students to if they ask about it.
    Newer/'high end' models also have a venturi system built into them, but I've never been able to tell the difference when breathing. Then again, the adjustable breathing resistance knobs never feel like they do anything for me either, so I guess I'm just really not picky with regulators. I do notice that they free flow really easily when sensitive, so there's that.

    • @BlueWorldplus

    Thanks for the video! Two questions - 1) Why are there no diffusers that fit on the regulator exhaust to break up and quiet the bubbles?
    2) Where did you get that awesome shirt? It's really nice looking.

    • @seanlotz9581
      @seanlotz9581 3 года назад +3

      To your 'diffuser' question, a few manufacturers have actually tried this by incorporating a somewhat honeycombed set of plastic openings where the bubbles come out of the exhaust tee. It does seem to help with shrinking the size of the bubbles, & lessening the associated noise as well. I think it's a great idea, and it disappoints me that so many modern manufacturers resist progressing with ideas like this... (but reliability has seen improvements, with even cheap regulators being surprisingly good these days)

      Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that scuba instructors don't show students stuff like this to de-mystify the gear and how it works. I think that having a basic understanding of how things work will make people less afraid of it, and more able to troubleshoot issues, rather than panic. Regulators are quite simple and reliable. Issues are pretty easy to diagnose.

    Excellent video, I am new at learning scuba diving...question, using a hookah regulator how do you know when your adjustment screw is at ideal setting? My pump system only gets around 20 psi...but many guys are able to breath well at a depth of 15 feet when regulator is adjusted correctly for them using exact setup as I have...can you adjust regulator screw correctly without having to use in water first? Or is it trial and error..? Thanks for your information

  • @stevesscubaschool5330
    @stevesscubaschool5330 2 года назад

    That's given me an idea to improve my gear testing. Try to inhale when the tank is off to see if you get the deadmans suck. If not you'll have a dodgy seated/ ripped mushroom valve or diaphragm.

    • @BlueWorldplus
      @BlueWorldplus  2 года назад

      Yes, that's a valid test. The other thing you get with a dodgy mushroom valve is water seepage when you inhale underwater. So if you are getting a "wet breathing" reg, that's the first culprit to check. Very often there is nothing actually wrong with the valve, it just has some mold or something growing on it that prevents it from making a good seal.

      backup regulator.

    • @BlueWorldplus
      @BlueWorldplus  3 года назад +1

      The design of regulators is that if they fail, they usually fail by leaking--meaning air comes out when it's not supposed to. And that kind of failure might be annoying but it does not result in a failure to breathe. In 30 years of diving, I have never seen a regulator fail in such a way that you can't continue to use it to get to the surface. People do carry an additional second stage regulator (commonly referred to as an octopus, for reasons I have never understood). Generally however, this redundant second stage would be used for a buddy who ran out of air.

      Because the pressure on the other side of the diaphram (the air going into your lungs, is at ambient pressure.

      When they get clogged with barf or something, they will leak. But generally not. They are pretty reliable. If they are really old and crusty, sometimes they let a little mist of water through, but only enough to be annoying, not dangerous.

      @BlueWorldplus  3 года назад +1

      Yes, exactly. The water pressure below the diaphragm is higher than above it, and it pushes it enough to make it flow. Then the bubbles rising up create a little bit of a vacuum and pull it up more, so it goes crazy.

      @@BlueWorldplus yes the old ones and some of the newer have this feature i think deep6 you could still take apart even under water if you soak water and want to make the diaphragm fit and clean out some plants or whatever might came in it. Just tecdivers do this i think no regs fails in cause of this on recdives i think.

    I wonder what it would take to make a tank that could hold 10k PSI, probably would be pretty thick metal. Im sure it would be nice if you could do that tho ha.

    What kind of regulator is the one you use in this video? Looks like the bubbles come out behind you. ruclips.net/video/i1Wk1uddPko/видео.html

      That is a doublehose regulator.

      Works the same way, but the first and second stages are in one assembly and the diaphragm is behind my head.

    they are so simple companies just throw fancy colors om them to make you pay more when they are exactly the same as the 20 dollar you find on amazon

      I don't know about that. There is significant liability in a product like this.

      @@BlueWorldplus i cant speak for everyone but we have 4x 20 dollar regulators and each have atleast 700h useage (compressor diving) never fails except once and apperently we had accidentally dropped it on a sea urchin which spike went throught the membrane haha.
      its just a metal arm which closes the intake by the pressure.
      when u breath in the membrane push the arm inwards which open the intake.
      when u breath out the membrane pushes outward to let the air out and the pressure from the ocean closes it again (and the natural shape of it)
      litterly nothing that can go wrong.

    Who do you have service your double hose reg? Or do you just roll the dice? Haha. :)

    • @BlueWorldplus
      @BlueWorldplus  Год назад +1

      I service it myself. I bought the proper tools and got some tips and tricks from the engineer who designed it. I have been rebuilding my own regs for 20 years. You can take a class on it. Not very difficult. But not something you should do without training as it is life support equipment.

      @BlueWorld_plus Thanks, Jonathan! It's a shame no one makes a modern double hose reg. Would be nice for us u/w photographers. Perhaps I just need to take the...plunge....on a CCR. 🙂

    Ohhhhh, that's why regulators can handle vomit. 🤣 It seemed like magic (where did it all go?) that if you get sick after you've entered the water, you don't have to surface and can feed the fish at the same time. 😝 eeew
    Thank you, educational and pretty neat. 🙂
