So happy I found this video. Refreshed myself whilst listening to one of my favourite songs of all time by the stone roses!

It helped when we prepare IDC. Thanks for the video!!

To everyone who is saying music annoys them and they should talk instead.... you're wrong. When we teach courses we make sure we signal everything. Even if we are talking. Anything you can teach them without speaking, do it without it. This forces the student to focus on the signal comunication and pay attention. They learn signals better this way too. Now you know why all SCUBA skill videos are without narration :)

Very good video. Thanks.

[@mikhoq]

Thanks for the video. A couple of things that I thought of; 1) When checking the air is on, turn the valve half a turn back again, 2) If the tank is too low it may be hard to reach back and be able to find the hoses, should you need to.

[@goprocaribbean]

I disagree djwright, the weights part is where you familiarize yourself with the quick release mechanism of your buddies weight system. The releases part is where you familiarize yourself with the other releases on his equipment, so you could easily get it off him should you need to, such as during a rescue scenario.

Rob. S - they look quite happy... not really like they are going to fall out at all!!

[@garyjohnson53]

Tank you

I say Big White Rabbits Are Fluffy

[@victorzamora101]

Are these filmed in Roatan? It looks JUST like the beach in West End over by Anthony's Key Resort where the main road from the airport comes in to West End.

[@bighairyfeet]

Both Tanks are sitting really low..

[@TaskSwitcherify]

Helpful video but describing what you're doing would be very useful. Also, why no manual BCD inflation check?

[@doctorgorrell]

They are right; U can't talk underwater so get used to it!

[@MrRobjs83]

why are their tanks so low in these videos?

[@rickpost2846]

It doesnt realy matter some people prefere low but some prefere high if its tight and open its al fine 😊

[@syedahmedrazaabidi1]

I think they just look lower, They are suppose to be this low, hand rule from the top.

[@MrRobjs83]

well, actually they are not really that low in this one. but in some of these videos they look like they are about to fall out, literally

[@billsmith6884]

Why is the tank so far down his back?

[@victorzamora101]

Coco Tree maybe??

[@jamesnorwood7146]

The tanks on both divers are riding way too low. The top of the first stage should be about even with the top of the BCD.

[@kenboi2733]

how heavy is the tank? would it be too heavy for a 5'2" girl?

[@buoghuoj]

why does he look so pissed off

[@misterkaos.357]

Because it's hot and he wants to get in the water so he can take a piss.

[@1190Jj]

how i remember mine is bruce willis ruins all films :D

[@raisin39]

I can see that your good but the music didn't help.

[@MegaMattster1]

Where is the narration?? What a pity that these great videos are ALL let down by the absence of this necessary element.

[@goprocaribbean]

So many times when i teach people the Divemaster and Instructor course they talk too much and don't SHOW enough. The video is aimed and teaching people what they should VISUALLY demonstrate. When teaching to a student it would and should have a narration.

[@doctorgorrell]

They are right; U can't talk underwater so get used to it!

[@johnrmirez5261]

I guess some genius thought this video would be better without talking about the actual information and instead lets play some annoying song in the background
