I agree 100% one was the dismissive attitude it was two years I went back better staff and I spent my money

[@pranadive]

It isn't good that you experienced that but glad to hear they fixed the issue, even if it took a couple of years.

I would say oxygen was the most import incase of the bends. Rest could happen just hiking.

[@pranadive]

I agree that O2 is probably the most important. Thanks for watching and commenting.

when the boatmen are busy doing fishing and not keeping a look out for divers.

Wrong about the likelyhood of successful resusitation without an AED for each minute, it's actually 4% per minute where CPR has been initated. IF you twiddle your thumbs and DO NOTHING then it's 10% per minute, but there are two evidence based practices in ALS - High Quality Chest Compressions (think staying alive) and early electricity - I know I'm an Advanced Life Support Course Director.

[@pranadive]

According to the National Institutes of Health , survival with just CPR is around 9% and that increases to 24% with an AED and 38% with delivery of a shock. We never said use of AED with or without CPR. We were stating the fact about an AED, which is indeed 10% per minute. Yes that is without CPR but it is nonetheless 10%. And yes, we are very familiar with High Quality Chest Compression and early AED use. Hence the reason we have an AED.

Diving is NOT a "sport". It has NEVER been a "sport". You are not competing against anyone or anything. If you are, you're dead wrong. Diving is an inherently dangerous activity. Done right, and you get to talk about how great it was afterwards with all your friends, and see things and explore places few or no one has ever seen or been to. Done wrong, and you don't come back, period. It's a silent death. This is exactly why the quality of your education and the strict enforcement of proper and correct KSA's for diving are so paramount to safety. Diving must, at all times, be respected for being an inherently dangerous activity, treated and talked about as such. It is NOT a "sport", and the industry, and all the for-profit agencies out there, need to end this false marketing that it is.

You just love to be negative. But let me explain something you clearly do not understand, in the UK, the term sport is defined and used as and I quote: "all types of physical activity that people do to keep healthy or for enjoyment" Therefore, scuba diving would be labeled a sport. Our instructor speaking in the video is Polish but spent many years in the UK, hence the use of that term. The funny part to me is, I agree with most of what you said about diving and how it is marketed but highly disagree with your approach in this comment.

Paranadive, You claiming I’m being negative is a fallacious gaslighting attempt. I focus on safety, and promoting the highest of standards in education and training. The fact is, conflating diving as a “sport” promotes the wrong image of what diving actually is, and the adopted psychological mentality cultivated within divers as they pursue diving, which doesn’t take it as seriously as they should, and puts themselves at higher risk or they develop lower quality KSA’s. Diving is not a sport.
