Regulator Recovery

Uh oh, I dropped my regulator while underwater. Not to worry, it’s not going anywhere. Just because your reg isn’t in your mouth doesn’t mean it isn’t attached. You can easily find it by shifting your body and letting it dangle away from you, or reach up to where it connects to the tank and follow the hose to find the mouthpiece. The most important thing to remember whenever your regulator is out of your mouth is to exhale continuously and never hold your breath.
