Hy Lyell thanks for this contribution. It would be nice to deepen correlation between diet and DCS risks. Of course vegetarian and vegan diet are helpful to keep your fit and healthy. I will do some research and tell you if I find out something :-)

Honestly I had to learn the hard way how to properly weight myself, I got certified in a tropical area so we didn't use wetsuits and I had 8 lbs then. I went to colder water with a 7 mm and thought 12 lbs would be enough. I knew I was light cause I released all the air in my BCD and still couldn't sink so I used the free dive technique to go down head first to 30 ft... I'm pretty athletic so coming back to the 15 ft safety stop wasn't impossible but it was still pretty hard. That's how I learned that I needed more weight for 7 mm suits😂

Old school diving🤓

I saw your video about the heart attack. Now I’m a subscriber and I’m going to soccoro.

This is fantastic - thankyou!

The only helpful video so far! Thanks!

You made it clear & easy to understand! Thanks!!!🙏🏾

Great vid! Thx!

Thanks for this very informative piece of information.

Glad it worked out in the end for you. In the UK, there are no charges for healthcare, unless you choose to go private for certain procedures - private healthcare is normally just routine procedures or aftercare, and to my knowledge, does not cover any emergency medicine. Health Insurance isn't much of a thing here in the UK as it is in the US for obvious reasons, and is primarily bought by people who travel abroad as it is often a requirement to enter foreign countries. That being said, you can still get it - to cover private healthcare costs, or to pay out when ill or to cover costs arising out of illness.

Awesome video. Thanks for posting!!

I just put your rock exactly as described, and $275 for materials from home depot…. Still it’s a great design

Not a pleasant topic but glad to have this knowledge. I involuntarily coughed when inhaling water on a AS drill in the pool and it really made me think about a similar thing happening at depth, including while vomiting. Always best to not have to problem solve in the moment!

I have the OM 10 mk 4

EXCELLENT INFO!!! Thank you guys.

Thank you so much for this video. I have started diving again recently and get seasick/motion sick pretty easily. This video is particularly useful for me!

Will you continue this series? Seems you haven't posted #4 Propulsion and #5 Breathing Control? My OCD compels me to watch all 5 in the series!

i was never a freind of knots and i can barely do 2.thanks to you now i know how to do 3, amazing video thanks

This is just what I have been looking for. Thank You. I do tons of snorkeling during scallop season. When things are fantastic I use a hookah system. Typically we are working 4 to 7 foot of water. This is when we want to stay at 2.5' to 5.5' under the surface and just move and pick up our dinner.

U said nothing about how long to stay out of the water between dives. U showed us how to get to an "A" diver and that was it.

Too much blah blah. I was lost in the first 30 secs. Get to the meat dammit.

just bought one it came with out the clamps. however the company responded to my email promptly and is shipping the claps asap 5/2/2024

just ordered and received the shark-tank pony bottle mount however it didint come with the two c clamp straps to hold the tank tried to call them using the phon number on the sheet of paper in the box and its not a working number ????? 6/1/2024

Do you by chance have a place where I can download/buy that assembly checklist

Do you have the plans for the 7x7 rack? I am tall and have a family of 4 divers for stuff to hang

This was truly far better explained that the PADI E-Learning video(s).

I just finished my PADI Open Water Exam and passed.

Thank you very much Great video, very informative and simple

after the safety stop, even though I tried to slowly adjusting my breath to allow me ascend slowly.. still my computer warned me most of the time that I ascend too fast....

Thanks, after 50+ dives, I'm still trying to sharpen my buoyancy and trimming skill. eagerly to try sooner

Totally agree with you and let’s say that it’s also wrong to ascend rapidly to the surface from the safety stop. In the last 5 m there is a 0.5 ATM difference so, go slowly! 😊

Professional.

What do you think about this? 5:30am-6:30am at gym weight lifting and HIIT training daily Noon - 5 doing two dives in Bonaire Repeating daily or most days. I’m on the island for 5 weeks.

that grip lock style locking mechanism is unreliable and can easily open. I had to put a velcro around to secure it. be wary

Right dude looks like johnny depp

If I’m 15 and I have the paid jr dive license and I want to solo dive in a Florida spring that like 10 meters would that be fine it’s not in a cave just going down to 30ft

Thank you, we were so confused, and you helped us understand.

Thank you, we were so confused, and you helped us understand.

I am now in menopause and feel tired all the time. Plus I stopped physical training. I am a bit nervous to go diving with friends in a few weeks. I remember how heavy the gear was.

I do think taking a solo class is a great idea

I do it all the time. I work under water building docks and salvage and recovery. I didn’t know I had to have a card?

Do you need a card to solo dive?

I never go as fast as my air bubbles.

soo all i need is the space X space suit and this on my back and im good in space

Excellent lesson !

Great points. Always good to hear these things again & again over the years. Diving for 52 years. How things have changed and some never do. I do agree with conserving energy/gas but sometimes it is just fun to explore with your partner and actually kick those fins other than a frog kick. I find it frustrating to surface with 800 PSI. My recreational diving trips often include new buddies every dive. Many seem to wander off on their own from the group. Enjoyed this article on safety stops. Good divers always try to be better.

Bravissimo!Grande Video complimenti! 👍👍

I liked that your video explained the term BCD and didn't think that the viewer would know. Thanks.
