You just helped countless new divers with this video alone.

[@flowstatedivers]

We hope so :) Thanks for checking it out!

[@j.m.b5441]

This is a no nonsense-straight-to-the-point scuba channel, very understemated, always great advice and information.

[@ericramosmd]

I don’t have a consistent dive partner. I have yet to find a group of divers who are obsessed with safety like you. It’s the right way to dive and should be the only way to dive. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you! And BTW, your DSMB deployment video is SICK!

[@flowstatedivers]

One of the biggest challenges in diving is finding an equally enthusiastic team, but it's absolutely worth the effort - so we're cheering you on! In response to requests from our former / current students, we’re developing a community website where like-minded divers can connect. It could be your opportunity to link up with the right dive group! To stay updated on the launch, consider subscribing to our mailing list at flowstatedivers.halocrom.com

Awesome series of videos. I enjoy the military like precision exhibited by these divers

[@Nico_303]

Thank you so much for this absolutely fantastic video series. Your channel is probably the most informative and at the same time the most aesthetically pleasing when it comes to diving. Far better than the dated video material from the major diving agencies.

[@flowstatedivers]

Thank you, and we are glad you are enjoying our stuff. Stay tuned and consider sharing it with your dive buddies :)

[@brandonsdi]

agreed! none of the agencies can even be mentioned in the same context as FlowState

[@buzzsawz]

Consistently the most informative videos, facts not opinions. Taking a PPB course with you would be an honor.

[@flowstatedivers]

Plan a trip to Tenerife and we will take excellent care of you :)

[@elliotthester6291]

​@flowstatedivers I dived in Tenerife last year with a great dive shop called Blackstone. Curious to know about your operation though. Do you run a dive shop and/or instructing business? Edit: Nevermind, just Googled you. May get in contact in the future.

[@buckyplayz1919]

Such great stuff

[@williamwhitlock207]

Thank you for the videos. Best on the tubes…..

[@Zhak2293]

Great points! Especially the stop at 5m during descent. I will be adopting this practice. Thanks FlowState Divers! 👍🏻

[@MegaEpicLlama]

Great video as usual. My buddies have this annoying tendency to just drop like a rock. Such an easy way to split the team right when you may need them the most. I'd love if you guys did a video on handling cannister lights btw! Probably what I struggle the most when it comes to long hose configuration with the cannister positions and cord.

[@flowstatedivers]

Great suggestion, we will certainly do that!

[@przemysawczekaj9434]

Bro, this is serious really great knowledge that you've shared, based on what you have shown, now I know that I'm still overweight even after perfect buoyancy course, thank you

[@flowstatedivers]

Thanks, make sure to watch the other videos where we drill into all the very details you will need to get your weighting right

[@przemysawczekaj9434]

@@flowstatedivers I will dive into your videos like I'm diving into the lakes

[@philipdstudio]

Another excellent video. Consistently one of the best sources of diving skills information on YT. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a pragmatic and engaging manner.

[@flowstatedivers]

Thanks very much for sticking with us for such a long time :)

[@philipdstudio]

I would love the opportunity to take a class with you guys one day; until then, I will continue learning as much as possible from your content and other trusted sources 😊

[@chrisogle1168]

These small lessons are very helpful, they show me what I am doing wrong. Thank you😊

Thanks for watching :)

[@sebastien2487]

Absolutely great again 💎🙌🏼 The perfection of the behavior and technique demonstrated in the video in conjonction with this state of mind of deliberate diving is the top of the mountain every single diver should seek. Thanks again for promoting it 🙏🏼

[@flowstatedivers]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you find our stuff valuable.

It's always very interesting and useful to watch your video. Thanks for your work!

[@wegothooked2610]

Fantastic video, its an awesome idea of introducing a stop at 3 meters I will definitely do this from now on! Great work once again

[@flowstatedivers]

Thank you!

[@inlandbhsk8r]

How did you not learn to do this in your OWD course? Legitimately curious. That’s one of the first things you learn, no matter what agency.

[@andrewmcgee1351]

Absolutely fantastic!

I'm trying to get several friends to join me in diving. When they think it's gonna be too complex or they have ear issues or whatever, I send them here. Would love to see you guys talk about rebreathers and tec since that's what I'm planning for now. :)

Thanks. It's all in the pipelines and a lot more coming up.. just taking it step by step

[@unusedTV]

I'm learning a lot through your videos but nothing beats real practice. I wonder how much I'd pick up from visiting you in Tenerife!

[@flowstatedivers]

We would put you through a real bootcamp ;)

[@skydiverninetysix]

I recently started working on horizontal descents and am finding the upward water flow against the top of my fins is turning me head down as I descend. I notice diver in video is using a lot of fin action but not sure what the technique is.

[@flowstatedivers]

It takes some practice, but you will get there! The reason the diver is adjusting in the video is due to the surge. Since we were shooting a video, we had to stay in position relative to each other (even more than otherwise).

[@miks8]

7:55 - shouldn't your first prio be to completely free the long hose? Also, a question - your opinion on using drysuit v wing for your BC?

[@flowstatedivers]

Nope. The priority during an OOG situation is to reestablish breathing, and once that's done, you deploy the long hose. Our next video will cover gas sharing in a lot more detail, so stay tuned for that. Regarding your second question, it's a controversial topic. While technically you could use your drysuit the same as your BC, it would make diving extremely tedious due to the amount of gas trapped in the suit, so we don't recommend it. You should never add more gas to your drysuit than what is necessary to eliminate the squeeze at depth.

[@elyselapalme7040]

Hi! very informative video, thanks! small question, but where do you tuck that long hose? your setup is so streamline I try to replicate it haha. have a good day :)

[@flowstatedivers]

Simply tuck it under your waist strap. If you have your kit set up correctly, it will hold perfectly fine.

[@elyselapalme7040]

@@flowstatedivers Thank you !

[@mikesonntag7698]

Won't I need to be a little over weighted to start my dive? Here in the pnw we typically dive hp100 tanks and with that tank full it's -9lbs and at 500psi about -0.5lbs. So if I started the dive perfectly neutral how would I hold my stops on ascent?

[@flowstatedivers]

@mikesonntag7698 please check out our video on correct weighting. All this is discussed there in details.

[@mikesonntag7698]

@@flowstatedivers I have watched all your videos. I really like them as I dive DIR. The beginning of this video you said I should be able to stay on the surface with no air in my dry suit or wing and start the descent with just my breath (exhale). I find that hard to do with the 8lbs of air I'm going to breath in the dive. That's all I was wondering is how you did that? Thx

[@alzahraniabdulrahman]

Hello my friend, i changed from jacket BCD to wing backplate, i have problem with decent , when I deflated the wing I rotate all over , the weight distributed all in tanks long with pockets and weight cam , what is your advice

[@flowstatedivers]

@alzahraniabdulrahman fix your body / lower back tension. Check out our video "How to achieve perfect body alignment." Everything that's demonstrated there is applying to being on the surface as well.

[@alzahraniabdulrahman]

@@flowstatediversthank you so much , i am in Dahab Red see Egypt , i took the courses , they recommend halcyon infinity, is it ok , or has some problems, I trust you

[@zhengmaoli1835]

I saw that the diver in the video constantly has their fins tipped upward (bit like my profile picture); when descending like this I sometimes find water pushing my fins upwards even with moderate descent speed and that sometimes hinder me from doing effective frog kicks. Do you have any tips on this?

[@flowstatedivers]

@zhengmaoli1835 Best you can do is practice your frog kick. This alone should not hinder your ability to effectively use any type of propulsion technique let alone the frog kick which is by far the most stabilising one. Check our videos on propulsion and practice with purpose ✨️

GUE?

[@flowstatedivers]

Nope
