Re: What do you do if a convulsion happens to your buddy?

I have practiced this in the pool, both as a victim and a rescuer. You can splay the reg against the outside of the mouth and purge it. To do this, you need to bend the flanges of the reg against the outside of the mouth.

If done right, my experience was that it was very hard for me not to breathe successfully, and I didn't inhale any water. The downside is of course that a purging reg uses up a lot of gas.
