 Buddy Checks and your Habits.
<font color='#32CD32'>Not looking for a slating, but as I've got more experienced (and yes I know, maybe more complacent) I've focussed less and less on buddy checks.
I've seen some posts lately talking about buddy checks, but I'm not sure of their value once in the water - I agree it might remind you on the surface (to connect your dry suit hose for example), but to expect that after a 60 second buddy check a person would know your kit inside out is ridiculous.
My thinking now is that as long as my air is on, everything else can be sorted out in the water.
So, with an experienced diver, that I already know, I'd not bother with a buddy check, merely ensure that my gas is on.
I do however, tend to talk through a buddy check with a new buddy.
What about you guys.
