"Closed... Why would you want it open???"
Mike,
I have no problem with your described method, but if you are in proper attitude (body horizontal to head slightly down and legs slightly up - bent up at the knee), which requires one to shrug to dump gas, why is it necessary to close the valve? Why not just leave it open, only having to shrug at the new shallower depth, especially on a multi-level dive?
Regards,
Bill
