Looping the zip tie prior to attaching to the mouthpiece. It’s the simplest little steps that can make small jobs like this frustration free. Thanks for these quick tips!

[@DiversReady]

You're very welcome!

[@HellrazorDogsnDives]

a personalized choice for Mouthpieces is a MUST!

[@christosz5]

Wow James, right on time. Was about to check how to change my mouthpiece on my XTX-50! Cheers

[@gmussiluz]

Quick and easy. Big thank you!

[@patrickmooney4135]

These are great instructional videos. Much thanks, James!

[@DiversReady]

Glad you like them!

[@NightHaunted]

Really good tip with the location of the lock!

[@DiversReady]

Glad it was helpful!

[@smdiver]

Nice tip, but I prefer to use large nail cutters. Dont need the file then, clean edge cut. Carry in the save a dive kit.

[@Wallstreet762]

Nail clippers work perfectly! 👌🏾

[@nautiboiscuba]

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

[@lydialeigh4]

Easy peasy - thanks for the tip!

[@cryingllama3333]

Thanks man!

[@DiversReady]

Happy to help!

[@kucingsuper4629]

Love it

[@gray_wolverine63]

I myself use a nail clipper for a clean cut after I cut the zip tie, I think you should try that for next time. 🇺🇲👌🏼

[@simonduffill3355]

I use flush cutter (or flush side cutter). These cut through the cable tie with leaving the sharp edge i.e. it cuts it flush. Fairly cheap online. Not carried by all hardware shops.

[@DiversReady]

Simon Duffill Great tip! Thanks

[@MirkosEye]

I use a lighter for the sharp edge.. nice video keep going 🤙🏼

[@d1sk0v3rYcH4nN3l]

Just got my dive cert a few months ago and I’ve been a little obsessed. Thanks for all of your videos they’ve all been so helpful! I wish I had seen some of them before going with PADI OWD (to be fair I didn’t know other certs existed..) Would you recommend in the future taking AOW with another group, like SSI? Is that even possible? Thanks again! - Tovah

[@CH-py8zv]

Use flush cutters to trim excess and you don't have to use a file, good video. 😁

[@Sgyozo]

Do you have any experience with te scubapro reusable clamps? I've got some regs that came with it, looks OK, i don't know if there might be any cons on the long run.

[@DiversReady]

Yes! I've never been able to successfully reuse them! I always seem to break them taking them off.

[@Sgyozo]

@@DiversReady Thanks, luckily i haven't spent any money to buy these separately. Then i'll replace them with zipties if they break, i have a ton anyway. :)

[@JamesSanderson]

Don’t use a single spanner or wrench to remove a 2nd stage, always use two. One on the reg and one on the hose. If you use one you will move orientation of the 2nd stage internals.

[@Wfgross]

I noticed your regulator is attached via a swivel - what are your thoughts on its use? Comfort vs supposed additional failure point?

[@sebastiankvyat3915]

Its a bit off topic, but I was wondering what a respectable RMV for someone diving steel doubles in a drysuit in cold water would be?

[@kyleknickerbocker8650]

You can get flush wire cutters and you won't have the sharp edge. Klein Tools D275-5

[@andreiharagus6251]

If you cut the zip tie with a sharp single blade tool (box cutters work well) you won't need to file that end

[@peboybadan1558]

How much

[@KimonFrousios]

I saw a technique to use a length of line to tie a mouthpiece instead of a cabletie. No knob, no sharp edges, no additional tool required beyond the knife and spool I already carry. Admittedly, maybe too fiddly to tie with stiff trembling hands in cold weather.

[@DiversReady]

Yeah, a cable tie is faster and easier. But in a pinch, twine or cave line works.

[@capngeo2002]

Cut zip-tie. Take off old mouthpiece. Put on new mouthpiece. Put on new zip-. Voila!

[@westonhuffman7908]

Well, This just makes me wonder how long a scuba mouthpiece lasts.

[@DiversReady]

At least 500 dives, as long as you’re not a biter!
