Open Water Skill of the Week: Regulator Clearing

Saturday March 29, 2008
Regulator Clearing

I get lots of questions about how to perform the skills that are taught as part of the open water course. I've decided to start featuring an open water skill each week.

This week's skill is Regulator Clearing. This basic skill is taught so that you know how to clear water from your regulator whenever you need to put it back in your mouth while underwater. You will need to do this while sharing air with a buddy or in the unlikely event that your regulator is knocked from your mouth. I've put together a how-to guide to walk you through this skill step by step. You can also check out a great video showing a demonstration of the skill on YouTube and of course we've also got more information about the Open Water course.
