How to Master The Valve Drill (Backmount) | Master Series

Mastering the valve drill is essential for divers using doubles, whether in twinset or sidemount configuration. Contrary to common belief, it is not an emergency procedure but a skill-building exercise to understand equipment and develop muscle memory.

This video breaks down a variation of a valve drill procedure, emphasizing the importance of thorough comprehension over speed. The step-by-step process involves shutting down valves, managing regulators, and performing checks. Maintaining communication and eye contact with the team is crucial during the exercise, and the importance of signalling out-of-air in case of confusion is highlighted.
