Skill Overview

Freeflow Regulator Breathing

To simulate a freeflow, you or your instructor will depress the purge button.

  • Hold the mouthpiece against your lips – don’t seal your mouth on it.
  • Allow excess air to escape; “sip” the air you need from the flow.
  • It may help to insert just one side of the mouthpiece into your mouth, with the other side out.
  • Practice for at least 30 seconds.
  • Check your SPG after practicing. You may be surprised how much air you used. This emphasizes the need to start your ascent immediately when breathing from a freeflowing regulator.
