PADI Open Water: How to Scuba Dive in 5 Minutes

[@anthonyporter8915]

this is a 2 minute instruction video and 3 minute ad....

[@DonutDoctor]

Signed up for my first diving class, very excited, Thanks for the tips!

[@SapphosSails]

Thanks for the tip about the education portion! It's like 699$ CAD before taxes to get open water certified here and that can be a barrier! (but also learning about some of those things like rupturing your lungs DOES make me want to get proper training to do this safely. I am looking at becoming a liveaboard sailor and scuba diving (shallow dives) are somewhat essential skills for under the waterline boat repairs. Thanks I will keep looking into things

[@roadstar499]

when diving in 4 meter deep water how often do you equalize?... i am planning on surfacing every 3-5 mins as i search the bottom of lake...any tips are appreciated...thanks for sharing

[@xColdRamen]

Just equalize as often as you feel, there's nothing wrong with equalizing frequently.

[@BrassBoy-ot4sy]

I can equalise my ears without blocking my nose. I don’t know if this is a common ability. I just kind of move my jaw and some muscles in my neck.

[@WaterlineShorts]

I can equalise wiggling my jaw at the surface but not underwater. The pressure affects it for me. It's different for everyone. Happy diving

[@drylanddiver]

@@WaterlineShorts it's called the Frenzel maneuver

[@OctaviaBoesWifey]

I wanted to scuba dive, then saw “your lungs will burst!”. I’m having second thoughts. 😂

[@christophermcdade2987]

@@scubabro9471 You're told to never stop breathing, but it's not as extreme as it sounds. You use your lungs for buoyancy too. So if you want to ascend, for example, you take a deeper breath. That's how we are able to ascend/descend without moving our arms or legs.

[@77Elysian]

@@OctaviaBoesWifeydid you do it? I start a class in 2 days 😬😬

[@Joyparker-m1q]

I looked for the online courses your described and the link doesn’t work….l am also looking for a good instructor in Tallahassee Florida if you have any suggestions

[@BoldlyExplore]

Google SSI free online open water course

[@supersawyer358]

So whats the actual cost of getting the certification? I want to get into this? I was a firefighter so ive done the scba or self contained breathing apparatus training and used it countless times.

[@ComeTraveLikeKe]

You'll want to start with your open water ceritication. Prices very on location and the dive shop. Around 200-600 for your owc

[@jwlemke3467]

Unfortunately the link doesn't work

[@SimplySammyK]

Any tips for people with the fear of open water? I want to take up diving, I've always wanted to do it but even more so because I'm so scared of it. but the idea alone makes me light headed and short of breath, watching this made me a little dizzy with anxiety. So are there any tips on how to overcome this?

[@glavvred_borodat]

try swimming with no weights or scuba, just wetsuit. it will hold you at surface no matter what. next try breathe on surface with mask and snorkel or reg in mouth, no weights next try to dive 1-2m deep with some anchored rope, again - no weights remember - every moment - you have no weights, so you will not sink any way possible. next - weights on and go deep. hope this helps, cheers

[@adampilot8275]

Quite like this channel. Good job as always. Also many thanks about the SSI online training.

[@WaterlineShorts]

Cool. Im glad thats helpful.

[@adampilot8275]

@@WaterlineShorts Paul. A wee request is a short clip on entry and exit procedures for both scuba and snorkel diving. Walking in from the beach, boat entry and jumping from a height. Many people overlook these basics. Lots of explanations on clearing masks but not a lot about entry-exit or for that matter underwater navigation.

[@IamSamSammIam]

I tried equalizing my ears but when I'm pinching my nose this holds my breath? I cant do this while breathing and im really afraid of rupturing or injuring myself when i start my course...

[@alecxixfernandez5212]

Thank you for the video

[@NickRotondi-mb9uy]

What about dive weights

[@harisultan99]

that lung rupture makes me wanna get a certified training before starting to scubadive all Indonesian diving spots in my mid 30

[@nothingheretowatch7371]

I just got used scuba equipment, I am gonna dive into 2 meters deep lake, I also have zero experience, God help me xD

Thanks Makdiver. I'm in Germany so maybe we should do some dive planning some time.

[@honeyeluneis2358]

@@WaterlineShorts i just bought a new mask, do you have any advice how to clean the mask so it will not fog?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Run the inside with toothpaste. That will wipe away the residue from manufacturing. You will still need fog drops or spur spit every dive.

[@wabashoutdoors6928]

@@WaterlineShorts I live in Illinois, and I always want to learn how to scuba dive. Been thinking on start buying equipment a little at a time. But have no scuba schools in our area, any ideas?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Best to do a course when you go on holiday. You can do all the theory online Before you go

[@hayleydavelle3922]

Is the free theory still legit? Ie. Will it be accepted at all dive centres as sufficient to do your pool dives and open water dives? I was thinking of doing my pool training and open water abroad (I’m in the UK) and wouldn’t want to travel there without proper certification etc

[@glavvred_borodat]

you need certificate to show at divesite - so they can rent you gear and tanks

[@SergeiJimmix-fk8ne]

Very interesting video 👍🏻

[@fredbloggs7345]

I live on waterways .was thinking of trying diving .but Sounds too dangerous

[@WaterlineShorts]

There is an element of danger but good training will limit that significantly

[@ShellShock11C]

The whole "exploding lung" think kinda scares me lol

[@Thebestcoldkilla]

Don’t hold your breath from inhaling the regulator and then ascending, let it out

[@goproskiing_kid619]

bruh how u breathe in then without it exploding

[@specs6637]

​@@goproskiing_kid619 are you confusing the word "exploding" with "expanding"? Because yes, the lung naturally "expands" But it's not normal for a lung to "explode"

[@AsaSpadeSS]

​​@@goproskiing_kid619Bruh what did you not understand about not "holding" your breath? You can obviously inhale just don't try to hold that inhale in while ascending/descending. Make sure to alternate your inhales and exhales... like normal.

[@MohammedZadjali]

Did my first scuba dive and was scared of this ngl. However, when you're down there as a beginner you'll breathe like crazy, so this is not even an issue. It's an issue if you're experienced, you breathe normally and may hold your breath as sometimes we do it subconciosuly.

[@corncob2701]

When’s your next video?

[@UltimateLogbookApp]

good stuff! thank you

[@benica1000]

He's just getting creative with words. Smooth talker. Learning to SCUBA is not difficult but, it's not for everyone. First...can you swim? You'd be surprised at how many want to learn but can't swim. This video, long on rhetoric and short on specifics.

[@WaterlineShorts]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Send me a link to your videos and let's see if you can do any better.

[@skumpkin5191]

@@WaterlineShorts That's a poor comparison. I've never driven a boat, but I assure you if I saw one flipped I'd know it was wrong. This person is giving honest feedback about your work. You don't seem interested in being helpful, so I'm hoing to take his word and avoid this video.

[@WaterlineShorts]

Not really sure what you mean. I didn't offer a comparison. The comment above is suggesting that in a five minute video I've left out specifics. They insult me "smooth talker", "rhetoric". I could have just deleted the comment but I decided to leave it and challenge the commentator. I am in fact trying my best to be helpful to those who want help. If you read comments on my videos you will see that I leave very specific comments when people ask. The above was just a jab at me so gave back. Disregard the info but all means. It's free to anyone who cares to watch.

[@roadstar499]

@@WaterlineShorts Spot on ..both those people are A holes for sure...i am just learning and your tips and demo's were awesome...will watch them over and over again until it automatic in my brain.. Learning to dive safely using a tankless setup is my goal... when you say decompress often...how often at 4 meters is good? thanks for sharing

[@richardlong4076]

"Mask Clearing is a skill you will use on every Dive" Well I guess it could be if your mask does not fit you correctly, I guess I was lucky to have an Instructor who took the time to explaine how to find a Mask that fits and seals right, then when I asked he spent the 45min it took to help me find and test Masks and there seals until I found one that I not only loved the design but that also correctly sealed to my face... I rarely ever had Mask leaks witb that mask or any other that I have bought and tested since and I have been diving since 1994 so been thriugh a lot of Masks as well... Lol

[@WaterlineShorts]

Well for the times when stubble gets in the way or your mask fogs up.

[@richardlong4076]

@@WaterlineShorts ok yes understandable im lucky when I shave it takes 24hrs to get stuble so i did not even think about that lol

[@techzung]

Hi Paul, do you have any BCD recommendations? Thanks

[@WaterlineShorts]

Well in terms of Brands I quite like Scubapro. Im interested in a Hollis BCD for slightly more tech diving. But really it depends a lot on what you want to get out of it. What kind of diving are you looking to do and how often are you diving?

[@AlaborJinta]

there is no link to a free theory course as the man says. so is he lying or what?

[@BoldlyExplore]

Lieing hahaha 😂. Why would he lie. Be positive and just watch some other of his videos I’m betting the link is in others. 🤷‍♂️. Or just google SSI scuba it’s there.

[@GreatHornedKnight53]

Less then five minutes me looks at the video time 5.01 got em😂

[@johngill5175]

Clearing masks, and working on buoyancy does not equal "How to scuba dive." I know SSI's site has some great resources, but I wanted a quick refresher video of the dos and don'ts of scuba. I like a lot of your videos, but this is kinda scammy.

[@WaterlineShorts]

Fair point. This is an abbreviated version of another video. I was testing formats. Good to get that feedback. Thanks for commenting.

[@edmundorr9642]

I guess I see your point, but thought it was concise and serves well as a refresher.
