like I said before, if they were indeed "buddy breathing" then that may have rendered oral B/C inflation into the category of task overloading,
Karl,
Orally inflating your BC in an OOA situation is as basic as it gets.. If you can't do that you shouldn't be diving nor should you EVER have earned a C-card... That is the whole point... Doing these drills in OW means that you are prepared for the *unlikley event* that it will happen.. What the hell good does it do you to do a dog and pony show for your instructor on your knees in OW class if you don't know what the hell you are doing when the sh*t hits the fan????
That's basic PADI crap and falls under the BS catagory that your OW card is a license to learn... Well guess what, if you don't know it out of the class you may not get a chance to learn it because you'll be dead...
