[PSUBS-MAILIST] onboard gear

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

 I have a LP air disconnect in the boat for my BIBS second stage regulator.  I could use this to inflate the Steinke Hood but as of now, I just use the oral inflater on the appliance.

 Hi Cliff, do you use the mouth inflate tube or do you have a hp air hose to fill the hood prior to escape?

 Hood has a mouth piece and valve connected to the mouthpiece.  Prior to ascent, with the hood on you put mouthpiece in your mouth and breath cabin air through the hood  with the open valve.  Just prior to escape, you inflate the buoyancy bladder on the hood, remove the mouthpiece and close the hood valve.  From this point until you surface, you breath air in the hood. Excess air on ascent is vented out hood. At surface if you want to keep the hood on, you put the mouth piece back in and open the hood valve and breath surface air.  If sea state is low, you unzip the hood and breath normally.
This topic is covered pretty well in training video.

 One question...what's the proper way to breath in that thing?

 If you have not had a chance to see this old US Navy training film on submarine escape, you might want enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffOJEJwWSbs
The training is on using the Steinke Hood.  I use this appliance on my boat.  Even though it is getting harder to find this hoods, they surface on Ebay periodically.
