Divemaster Skills

[@s.spiegel3032]

i like how his movements and bodylanguage are so on point, providing the explanation needed! Cool dude!

[@stedebonnet1340]

Ive been an OWSI since 1992 in the Caribbean and the sub-Arctic. All the mr. know-it -all commenters berating the instructor for kneeling are showing what noobs you are. The basic skills used to be taught kneeling in a sandy spot. This video was posted 2013, so at least that old. Even now, many of the skills are taught with fins "pivoting" and touching the bottom. I think it was Mark Twain who said...it's better to keep your mouth shut even if it makes people suspect you're ignorant than to open it and remove all doubt.

I’m 13 and A Scuba Diver myself His Movements Are on point Amazing Teacher A+ From me

[@davida7579]

Jesus! A lot of back-seat instructors in this thread. This is a DM 'skills circuit' demonstration for what looks like SSI syllabus, although it could easily be PADI with some bells and whistles attached. It's dated 2013 which predates the requirement for the skills to be performed by OW students in mid-water. At any rate, this is isn't OW, its DM training. I don't recall seeing a requirement that this be done in mid water. The trainee divemasters are supposed to be learning the DEMONSTRATION, not hovering. The performance requirement is on the clarity of their parroting back the demo. It is more important that they master the points of the demonstration And for those of you picking holes... just to be absolutely clear, this guy's demonstrations are absolutely fine. I've been a PADI, SSI and BSAC instructor for 7 odd years and I can tell you, having observed hundreds of instructors first hand, there are not many out there who demo with this level of clarity and poise. Quit your bitching.

[@lilbohbeat5785]

David A Finally, some semblance of clarity and knowledge among these comments. Thank you for taking the time to clear up others’ misunderstandings of what’s happening here... the onslaught of uneducated know-it-all comments can be hazardous to readers trying to educate themselves; even just trying to follow and understand the video, one can be quickly derailed when reading the spiral of anti-knowledge and confusion that is this comment section. This obvsly isn’t the kind of thing one should mess around with, pretending (or really believing) to know more than one actually does... However, everyone’s a critic online, unfortunately, & this kind of ignorance can be dangerous for more layman readers (like myself) who might go seeking clarity on one aspect, only to ‘catch’ that ignorance in the process, like a contagion. Could even start un-learning previously understood lessons... doubting memory in favour of a convincingly confident-enough (yet bullshit-filled) assumptive commenter. Ignorance breeds ignorance, don’tchaknow.

[@garyflowers1311]

I know that he is teaching us what we need to know and learn but I hope that he is not down there alone I'm sure he isn't and I don't think that I could ever be able to dive by myself and I think that it would be a good idea to have a five buddy and another pair just in case your five buddy may panic and make sure that another pair of divers are able to assist if needed because your five buddy may panic or not be able to handle a situation should one come up!

[@philipbohi983]

Well, if the dive master gig doesn't work out he'd be one heck of an awesome flight attendant! "In case of emergency, There are 2 exits over the wings..." Waves hands, points to eyes, looks terrified, spins head side to side, points to eyes, then points to doors, wipe hand across forehead making WHEW face, points back to doors, makes door opening motions... I bet he always wins playing Charades too.

[@matthewedmonds8753]

I learned all these skills and many more in my intro college course taught by a NAUI instructor. This guy is really good and clear.

[@heinrichvanrasputin]

I love how he removes the Hair after putting the mask back on!

[@1stdayfishing]

You fail if you don’t demonstrate that part

[@benjaminhawkins1129]

This video is gold.

[@Simuprobst]

I am 14 years old and a real diver. And that's the same like i learned. Very good

[@TheRetroRaven]

Did these exercises as part of my CMAS* certification. Did all of them in a pool first, and later in open water on 3-5m - some even at 10m. All of these exercises are essential for safety should a problem arise in the deep while you're diving.

[@ronaldi9571]

Excellent video ! !

[@wallybrown9509]

His hand and arm motions and signals are poetry in motion...LOL

Great skill display. Just remember, he's showing new OW divers, skills they are to learn and do.

[@andrew6306]

I’ve never done this but if I did I’d like this guy to be there.

[@waterdragon5418]

Excellent.

[@alle_namen_schon_vergeben708]

I learned diving in the baltic sea so I weared a diving hood and 5mm gloves and I have long hair soo the mask-removing is pretty complicated :D Our divemaster told us "if you can dive here, you are able to dive everywhere else too". And if I am for holidays in a foreign country the sea is such fascinating. For example last year we were in greek :)

[@thevoyagersl]

"if you can dive here, you are able to dive everywhere else too". this is a very common sentence among instructors 😀😀 anyways good luck for your journeys. happy bubbles

An excellent instructor demonstrating OW skills for students. It was rather difficult to see more than 2-3' max in Georgian Bay where I did my training though.

Very useful thankyou very much for your video

[@garyflowers1311]

I like these informative videos relating to scuba diving but everyone seems y make it sound so easy but I think that there is more to learn than what it is made out to be because k know for duy that if I ever learned to but I can't even swim but one of these days I would love to be able to learn how to and be able to relax and enjoy the freedom and tranquility of being in the underwater world and enjoying the beauty of the seas and oceans and be able to go with friends and buddies as a group and relate our experiences as scuba divers!

[@faudzeemokhtar908]

good hand gesture. very understandable. tysm

[@jonnieinbangkok]

The only problem with your reg recovery exercise is that you're unlikely to have a full breath of air when the regulator is lost; therefore precluding the slow calm recovery method shown here.

[@046_venkateshmk5]

Nice sir I see this video you are my inspiration

[@TitosDiving]

Very good

[@ValVal23]

Very cool video, thanks

[@HH-cu2mv]

Should be taught in the diver position or at least off the bottom. OW students learn being on the bottom is okay....

[@rickpost2846]

You can demonstrate the skils on knees but when getting the exam you can get higher point trying skils with bouyancy

[@miguelblanco3535]

It's time to star to be a good rol model. Divers do not have to touch the bottom. Instructor must to show skills on the fly.

[@tolgao.6609]

In 2013 when this video was posted it WAS the NORM to do the skills on knees. It was updated later...

[@tahamaxhussein3366]

[@adamdemirs3466]

These are beginner diver certification skills. Why is it labeled master diver skills?

[@abectsan4455]

this is how the divemaster or instructor should present the skill to new diver. body language is important...

[@DOHCG]

No beginner can perform them like this,hence Divemaster skills,demo quality He mastered them...alot of open water or advanced divers haven’t

[@witchieblackcat]

Dive masters really shouldn’t be kneeling on the bottom. We need to teach neutral from the beginning.

[@faudzeemokhtar908]

but i was taught the same too in CW

[@hacke12345]

hes doing his thing very good but thats what you learn as OWD...

[@eddaly7014]

As a DM you have to present the skills in a particular way at "demonstration quality"

[@DOHCG]

And yet people don’t master them.....

[@ramantaqtaqi6472]

❤ Recpet

[@arineey4538]

solid instructor however is he showing OW certification divers their drills or what? I had to do all this and more in my OW cert. maybe i misunderstood the title

[@robcraner89]

I remember doing these in the Dominican Republic but at 12m deep. What an experience down there

[@lookatmyright]

For some reason if remove my mask, I unconsciously sucking up water from my fuckin nose and it's fucking annoying, like... I could practice this above water and it's good but when it's underwater, my nose keep sucking as I breathe through my mouth. Sorry for the profanity, I'm just sooo mad of WHY I COULDN'T

[@caspergjrup7913]

Maulana Winata also had that problem when doing the mask removal

[@johnwu8445]

no trim required?

His movements and bodylanguage are extremly good. Really self explaining. But, kneeling on the bottom is a no go! Giving a very bad example.

[@faudzeemokhtar908]

why is that

[@mauriceestelle4619]

Kneeling on sand is okay

[@ErikDeGroef]

Why is he sitting on the seabed?

[@ErikDeGroef]

Is that a neurological illness? Does he suffer from balance problems? Must be hard to see other divers hover above the seabed, when you have to sit on your knees or lay down to be able to stay stable...

[@georgesalubre7832]

because he can....

[@tkdpiki]

[@marivaldoalves6751]

[@ScubaGG]

I like his hair removal skill😂. If you ask me he is way to sharp and not fluid/soft/easy looking enough for me. He has too many signs and points that can confuse students. If a junior student would look at this would not think it is that easy and fun. Being 'cool' with his hands crossed and waiting with no reg in, is not the point of the skill and you would get scored down for taking toooo long time to do the skill. More than 1 minute for a reg recovery is already quite a lot. It is a simple easy 5 step skill that should take aprox. 30 sec. Funny kick cycles though😅

[@dr.guidowitt9526]

If you look to the video you will see that his regulator is exactly 30 seconds out of his mouth and demonstrating is always a bit slower, but he could do a few seconds faster at the moment when he was waiting with closed arms.

[@djole_belic]

LoL this is probably some Padi level shit, i mean if this is padi's divemaster course than in an aowd (tdisdierdi) you are pretry much an instructor with Padi

[@lolimthenoob]

Ah yes your going to be able to just take a huge breath before your reg is kicked out of your mouth. Should train the students when swimming not to panic and just pull it out of their mouth when they arnt paying attention

[@glennmiller5572]

Nice clear demonstrations, shame they’re all done negatively buoyant and kneeling on the bottom.

[@pera_krn]

To be honest, in thai my trainers body language is terrible. Almost impossible to understand but went through it anyway.

[@johnlicudine4153]

How bout if you don't know to swim

[@mattmcgahan]

You MUST pass a swim test to learn SCUBA

[@faudzeemokhtar908]

then just go bowling

[@JeffxMck]

All skills should be performed neutrally buoyant never in knees. Not for open water and certainly not dive master. More agencies like PADI should change that to how RAID is doing it. Although there is some great PADI instructors out there that will still conduct open water in a neutral buoyant posistion although not 'required by PADI'

[@rickpost2846]

Wrong information but fine

[@张恬-o8i]

Good buoyancy

[@张恬-o8i]

But this actually is the skill for open water diver

[@timblomeke5249]

Knees on the bottom? What year is it again, 1985? Neutral buoyancy is a habit, not a skill…

[@Sapper4668]

Old skills, kneeling on the bottom. These dats we teach how to dive, not kneel. Skills taught and expected whilst neutrally buoyant

[@gregoryknox8944]

Very poor indeed! Just because one teaches from the kneeling position doesn't make it right!

[@AngelLRojo-vl9cn]

I’m afraid, this guy should have never been certified... even as an open water What’s that of continuously kicking the seabed?

[@johnrambo1859]
