over the extension of the valve.
Connect the dry suit hose (if any).
If you use a long hose on the right side, lead it in front of you to the left, then around
your neck, so it comes from the right. Make sure the long hose is not trapped by the
dry suit inflation hose.
Note
During the dive, pay attention to your trim (your horizontal position in the
water). If necessary, adjust your trim for the next dive by changing the
weight positions and the positions of bolt snaps on the tank belts.
