TIP:

The regulator is probably the most critical piece of equipment that you will be taking with you when you dive! The success of your dive and your very life may depend on the proper function of this equipment, so you should always take great care in storing and handling this gear. This includes keeping your second stage(s) clipped to your BC at all times when not in your mouth. All to often I see regulators laying under tanks that have been set down or dangling in the sand at a beach. Make sure your know where your regulators are at all times and make sure they are safe from inadvertant damage.
