<div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>This topic is covered pretty well in training video.</div><div><br></div><div>Cliff</div><div><br></div>
