How to reach your valves on a DIR twinset 

About a bonus tip, we do the undersuit expanding procedure before begin a dive. Close a dump valve on a dry suit, inflate it, lay down in a water and shake with hands and legs stretching a undersuit. open a dump valve and slowly stand a verticaly in water.

It was awesome video, I could reach my valves with your recommendations. Thank you.

This is the best valve drill assistance video I've seen. Great job. Here's a related tip for the single tank reach. Angle the tank valve 45 degrees toward you. You may need a reg with a turret for this though.

Made valve drills much easier for me- thank you very much!

Until this moment, I have seen the twinset valve drill as a form of torture. Now I can't wait to master it. Thank you for the great video and for explaining simple, obvious things I never thought of.

An outstanding Explanation with a number of great pointers to help reach those twinset valves!

Excellent presentation and great use of Woody and the rod to illustrate how your position affects your reach. I am a technical diving instructor and I am going to use your rod idea to help my students. Thank you for sharing.

This was brilliant - many thanks. Newbie to twin set diving and struggling with buoyancy and trim BADLY but your advice has added immensley to my understanding. I've pretty much reset my kit back to where it was originally now rather than move the tanks down my back further. My first dive felt top heavy (I was "nodding" assumed it was the valve manifold weight) but I needed to add air to the wing.... moved the tanks down my back and now can't reach the valves as well as the suit squeeze problem at the shoulders (I'm very flexible at the shoulders normally) which you've brilliantly solved by the shrug move in the water. I've tightened the straps back up and made sure the D-rings are almost at the top to make sure they don't impinge the joint.... just hope I can get the twin set on and off now ! Really great though, thanks for taking the time to help us all :)

Excellent video and demonstrations, thank you! Bonus tip for undergarments is on point!!

Excellent! I learned a lot.

Thank you very useful tips!!

Thanks you for reviewing and updating this.

Excellent advice.

What a great bonus tip at the end. Thank you.

thanks that helps a bunch , stay safe & keep the videos coming

That was great information. Thank you 😊 👌🏼

Great video!!

Great video. Loved the bit with the stick.

Great tips

bloody brilliant, what great advice and tips. Makes some much sense. Thank you and woody.

Thanks a lot. beautiful lesson. Micky (from Italy)

Thanks. Very informative.

Thank you very much.

Nice explanation .Keep going :)

Thanks a lot......

Great video Ben, 1 of my team mates just ordered his twin-set. I absolutely love the videos you do for our calendars and lessons. Keep up the great work! Cant wait to meet you at the skills camp in San Diego. On another note, I actually reach almost 6 cm further with my elbow pointing to the side. After the exercises that you showed the difference is even greater, (closer to 8 cm).

Great presentation mate. Thanks for sharing these tips. Cheer, #SeattleRingHunter

Hi Ben, great information - Thank you so much. It help me a lot to improve as new diver with Twins. Do you have any reviews regarding the Nautec Valve? Thanks for info

Now ...I get it...

I've been trying to reach my valves for a while. I recently started laying on the floor in front of a mirror, so I could see what I was doing. I'm able to reach on the floor, but doing it in the water is so much harder.

Excellent video.Would side mount diving be better than back plate diving if your flexibility is poor?

I’m struggling to reach the valves because of my shoulder mobility. Not even with my fingertips

it's shame nigel's upside down twinset is unpopular
