Breathing is key in SCUBA Diving

In this video we would like to explain a bit more why breathing is key in controling your bouyancy underwater. Come and join us on one of our UTD Extreme scuba makeover workshops and learn this first hand . www.nowdive.dk/shop/utd-extre...

i wish i saw this before my first dive during my OWC. this is definitely helpful for those who dives.

[@andrewmcgee1351]

Great and very helpful explanation!

[@wallybrown9509]

Good info, I had to figure this out on my own. I’m glad to see an instructor is coming out to say all this.

Nice job! Just as balance is central to bicycle riding, breathing is central to scuba not only for sustaining life but also for maintaining buoyancy. Breathing skill also sets the stage for diver relaxation and extending dive time. The UTD approach gets breathing-for-control into the picture immediately and builds from there, rather than confusing the student with a disjointed assemblage of compartmentalized skills and gear components. Bravo!

Great video thanks for sharing

diving things kick ass. Cool.

[@bombousboy]

Excellent

[@scubaclient355]

Your technique of diving without equipment on is suitable for students who have no background in water sports. A great way to build up their confidence.

Next month I'm starting with my instructor course (CMAS). If all goes well, I'll be using this technique for students.

Ben, thank you so much for your effort of making all these diving tips videos on KZbin. I have learnt so much supplementary from your generous sharing. To me, you are like the Obi Wan Kenobi in Scuba diving. Coincidentally, he is Ben, too. LOL!

[@NOWDiveSkanderborg]

Thank you very much for you kind words, " my young padawan" :-) Most of this content will move to the official UTD KZbin channel, so check that out here: kzbin.info

@@NOWDiveSkanderborg yes, my master 🤪

[@ianelsley71]

There is a difference between slowing/stopping your breathing and "holding your breath" though. Pausing breathing in or out is very different from breathing in and closing your airway - which is the conventional meaning for "holding your breath". The important thing is keeping your airway open. If you're going to say it's ok to hold your breath, please make clear that it's *not* ok to breath in and close your airway - the airway must remain open.

Whats in the glass?

Watching this as a ccr diver thinking that was the day

[@knightclan4]

That shot of espresso sure looks good. I love that crema on the top. I was wondering how long till you tasted it.

[@Chogogo717]

Bro!!!! I hold my breath and sink 😆

[@benbos1925]

Then you must be a fit guy with good muscle mass. Muscles are heavier than the fatty tissue. So in some cases, like you. You might sink. But probably not to the bottom but just under the surface. Right. ?

[@Chogogo717]

Ben Bos shoot, I’m super out of shape. Built like a twig. Not much muscle, and probably got lead in my head. 😂 Yeah, I was about 6 inches below the surface. Might just dive with a tool of quarters in my pocket 😆
