I would like to see more instructional videos like this vs the sales pitch type. Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks for the tip, turned out nicely
Congrats on being the first quality video on Yt explaining it almost perfectly in my opinion 👌🏼😉 I would just recommend leaving it a bit looser at first and only tighten it all up with the knots, that way there is like 2-3mm space inbetween, still easy to handle but possible to cut with a linecutter.
Well explained and shown, regardless of the name of the knot. Nice one
You know that first "square knot" was actually a granny knot, right? :)
The Xdeep NX makes a big difference.
Useful thanks mate 👍
Beautiful thank you!
I couldn't recall how i fitted the bolt snaps to my SPG before and followed your method but my old attachment point was much tidier, I think I used a book on knots before.
This was very good. I enjoyed your earlier videos which you explained stuff but back of my mind I thought that it lacked visual support, like instead of watching it narrated on a video I could rather read a webpage and that'd be faster. But I watched anyway when I got some time in my hands cos you look like a nice and friendly guy and you talk about diving.
This however, was something else because you actually showed how to do something and you did it nicely, making it look easy and from scratch to finish. For instance, had you made this video with a precut length of line instead of measuring and cutting it on cam, I would never grasp that trick; at first I thought that elbow length was a tad too much but by the end of it I realized it was barely enough so now I'll never forget to give it that length and then some when I do it.
I'm not too much interested in comparison of new diving equipments, but if you keep posting videos which you show how to do stuff, you can bet a hundred quids that I'll watch them as they come. :-))
Again thanks for the new thing I learned and cheers!
Great!!
Open water diver course in 21 days🤩🤩
you excited?
@@simplyscuba yep 200% already done with half of the manual (learning material)
What’s everyone’s experience with the hose being abraded tying it on the braided section versus on the metal ferrule like I’ve seen on a lot of SPG?
#askmark have you come up with any updates on tieing a boltsnap off to a hose or other accessories?
Why does this strike me as being something some gruff old navy type would have shown a BSAC Novice in the back of a pub in 1980s Plymouth?
By the way, it's also awesome, and we want more! :)
Where do you get that wire? stupid question but I almost lost a GoPro 10 after a wire I used just came loose...the plastic ones don't have enough grip even when tied really tight
Try a shackle bolt snap.
What if I have hose protectors? Can I put the boltsnaps over them?
You could, but you can't cut a boltsnap if it gets caught on something. That's why you use line to tie it to the hose (or hose protector).
What is the name of this type of bolt snap?
why not cut the cord with lighter ie. with fire? That way you have trimmed ends already. ;)
Why do the links link to a fashion web page :(
Would you do a bolt snap on an Octo?...or do you think that for quickness of access not to bolt snap and do the usually tuck in a D ring?
You can hang your octo on a rubber neclace. That way your buddy will see it hanging and he/she can reach for it.
It also very easy for you to grab it when needed.
Don’t boltsnap your Octo it isn’t quick telease
As others have said, this video needs an update. I love that production and sound has gotten much better over the years but not being able to see the knot really makes this guide unusable.
Simply Scuba gone under again! Prices.
I have a question about this. I get this is secure. I’m just starting OW and wondering if this is a best practice or something I shouldn’t do until I’ve had a few dives under my belt.
Kevin Esmeier A beginner diver doesn’t really need this. It’s meant for technical divers who clip their SPGs and redundant second stages close to their harness to prevent dangling hoses. That said, it’s always a good idea to streamline your gear and prevent things from dangling, causing entanglement or damage to the environment. As a beginner you’ll be focusing on more important things though.
Yggdrasil42 yeah, I kinda thought so.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with learning good habits when you're starting out. Keeping your gear streamlined and organized is definitely one of those good habits. :)
Wait till you know what works best for you✌👍
IMO this type of setup is more important for those running longer hoses and doing primary donate. Running a 40" hose under my arm if I let go of my regulator it is harder to find, than a traditional over the shoulder setup. So whenever my primary regulator comes out of my mouth (say to transition to a snorkel, blow up a SMB, or do a S-drill), I can clip my reg to a d-ring so it is easy to find.
What is the purpose of the bolt snap?
I clip it to my D ring on my right upper chest. Easy access for my second tank using side mount.
A drop or two of superglue on the knot will keep it from ever unraveling.
It's not a square knot that you did. You did a reef knot. A square knot is something completely different. A square knot is also known as the friendship knot, as explorers scouts can use it to tie their scarves instead of a woggle.
A square knot IS a reef knot. What he did was a granny knot, where both loops are tied using the same handedness. Square/Reef requires left over right then right over left so it lies flat
You burnt the line twice ,you only need to burn once at the end
Hey Stephen. The spool line starts off with a melted/sealed end to stop it fraying, but when you cut the line there are now 2 new ends that can fray...You burn the end of the cut section that you will use, but also need to finish off the cut end of the remaining line on the spool.
