    Pfff…Not the first time I see this and not the last time..unfortunately it is not PADI, it is the the center puttuing pressure on under paid instructors…
    It comes down to the <instructor..a pitty PADI doesnt do much about it.

    @SuperTrooper9000 Not to strap an out of test tank in case it blows a “Standard practice”?? WTF??? do you live in 1952?? Hope you are joking.

    @mauscuba I’m not that old! Yeh, I was kinda joking, the main problem was the supply of ‘o’ rings from the local plumbing shop, they leaked and blew all the time as you can see on the students 1st stage on the right.

    @SuperTrooper9000 I thought by “out of test” you meant -hydrostatic test failed- and by “in case it blows” you meant in case the tank actually exploding underwater!! I highly disagree with using a unstrapped tank at all, if the problem is a potential o-ring blow, you address the problem. If the o-ring problem can’t be resolved, you just don’t use that tank PERIOD. Minimizing the underwater stress in students minds is what it should be “standard practice” At least that is how I teach.

    @mauscuba Chill out man, all the ‘O’ rings were the same i.e. made for central heating units. They were OK for a few weeks and then bang, all you do is follow procedure and get your buddies to help you, that’s why you have a buddy, silly. Get trained and you’ll know what to do!

    how can you not notice this underwater? it’s not hard to miss, a tank rising above someones head is surely not right.

    @Halomaster1211

    You are WRONG. The instructor’s tank strap is in the correct position.

    @SuperTrooper9000
    You are WRONG there is no such thing as not strapping an “out of test” cylinder.

    First off – great color and clarity in the video.

    Second – I was expecting a super epic fail, like something exploding, but it was just the tank being loose.

    Third – The actual violations if you are counting is mainly the student to instructor ratio which should be 4:1 maximum. Any more and it is hard if not IMPOSSIBLE to control, which is why this guy had such a hard time. It is his fault for taking out so many students at once, period. But the students were not in any real danger.

    looks a lot safer than the discover scubas i’ve done. lol. they literally told us how to do it all on the way to the dive site and just had us meet them on the bottom at 25′. haha. i’m certified now, but even before i knew that was a bad idea.
