Course Complete

Watch the video above.

You need to know how to inflate your BCD orally rather than with the low-pressure inflator, because if your low-pressure inflator had a problem you would disconnect it. You also would not be able to use the low-pressure inflator after surfacing in an out-of-air emergency.
