PADI Open Water: How Pressure Works

[@garyflowers1311]

I appreciate the information! I know that it is more to scuba diving than what some of us know! Anyone interested in wanting to learn needs get all of the information and knowledge and a very good qualified instructor to make sure that you are fully qualified before you get your scuba certification!

Thank you for this video so much. I am currently doing my certification e-learning and was having a little bit of a hard time understanding the pressure processes. Or just needed it more in layman’s terms rather then so scientific lake. So I truly appreciate this video thank you so much

That's brilliant. I'm glad it helped. Enjoy your course.

Great for beginners but I need to go to your instructor assistant class or instructor levell. I’ve already done all this but great job. I wouldn’t mind being a rescue diver.

[@WaterlineShorts]

The Instructor level stuff is in the pipeline. Rescue Diver is a great course. Make sure you take that course with a busy dive centre, you want as many people as possible to give the course variety. It really levels up from there.

I know this is a silly question, but is it harder to move the deeper you go or just harder to breathe?

[@seikibrian8641]

The reason one breathes a higher concentration of oxygen in a decompression chamber isn't because the oxygen bonds with the nitrogen (it doesn't), it's simply so that you're not adding more nitrogen to already excessively-nitrogen-saturated tissues.

Thanks for clarifying. Yes that makes total sense.

[@kerrieross1452]

Very informative. Can you recommend reading material for a beginner that explains it as well as you do in this video?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Hey Kerrie. I always turn to the PADI Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving. Heres a link to a copy on Amazon amzn.to/2DgcHBi

Hi im wondering if its ok to dive 30meters daily. Coz im planning to dive for my livelihood?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Yeah but you do need some time off every week. If you dive daily then try plan some shallow days too.

@@WaterlineShorts how often do you equalize when you dive deep?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Early and often is the motto. Equalising has to do with a change in depth. You only equalise on the way down not in the way up. Once you get to the depth of your dive you don’t have to equalise again. The first few meters you should equalise 3-4 times. Then continue to equalise every half - 1m out every 2-5 feet. Once you get the hang of it you will start to feel when you need to equalise. Early and often is better.

@@WaterlineShorts im having difficulty equalizing

[@seikibrian8641]

@@kazueteresagalgo5779 There are several ways of equalizing, and not every method works for every person. You'll need an instructor to teach you the different ways and try them all to see what works for you. Sometimes the usual nose-pinch-and-blow method won't work unless you jut out your jaw or stretch out your neck to open your eustachian tubes. Also, you have to equalize BEFORE you feel pain or pressure, otherwise your eustachian tubes may already be squeezed to the point that equalizing is blocked. If you have trouble equalizing, sometimes all you need to do is ascend a meter or so and try again.
