Shaun Takes The Open Water Quiz (What Could Go Wrong) | Surface Interval

[@drdorkin]

I’m sad there aren’t more of these videos I found this very entertaining lol

[@option12]

And so the series begins! next Saturday---In the pool. one year from now, technical/rebreather/full cave!

[@leopoldbloom4835]

Well done, Shaun, so why just this one episode? I suggest a whole series featuring Shaun‘s transformation from a bloody landlubber to a classy scubadiver!

[@leopoldbloom4835]

Rope pulls were used for communication in helmet diving.

[@kirby_tardigrade]

This was fun and educational, please make more!

[@maxtorque2277]

An NDL dive to 40m is going to be a pretty short dive! (5 to 9min on air probably all things being equal)

[@Yggdrasil42]

That was fun. Is Deco Pro next?

[@markgardner8881]

Very funny and slightly scary at the same time we need more of this stuff

[@gee4526]

Ahhhh, I knew it, this must be Marks retaliation for the Brandy butter challenge Good Luck SHAUN

[@scubadivingrickydamiano]

We actually went to a splash party to a pool that was worse than the quarry.

[@donr3407]

Keep making more.

[@maxtorque2277]

If you can't go into an "Overhead" without additional training, then how do you get that training, what with not being allowed into an overhead before you are trained? ;-) Surely the answer is you can enter an overhead only when accompanied by and under the specific instruction of an instructor explicitly qualified for training in that environment? Like most of these multiple choice questions however, they are NOT actually asking you a question, they are actually simply trying to drill into you a behavoir, and here the word "NEVER" is what they want you to remember at this stage in your training........ See also "never hold your breath" (which makes swapping to ones backup regulator fairly hard) etc etc

[@remcovanhal6336]

When switching to back up regulator (or at any stage without a regulator in your mouth) you want to keep blowing little bubbles constantly !

[@maxtorque2277]

@@remcovanhal6336 ah yes exactly! another thing they (sensibly) teach you when you learn, that is only taught in order to ram home in the simplest way the "don't hold your breath" rule. But, when you do an out-of-air in your training, it's controlled, in good vis, and does not happen un-expectidly, and as such, i guarantee that before you take out your (working) primary to swap it for your secondary, you will have taken a nice deep big breath. In reality, if your primary fails, it generally does so without warning, and generally the first time you find out is when you go to breath in and get nothing (or worse, water....) and if your about to breath in, chances are you don't have a nice lung full of fresh air. At that point, pointless bubbling away the tiny amount of remaining air in your deflated lungs, the air that is your lifeline for perhaps the next 30 sec if things go really pear shaped is not such a smart idea! These are exactly the necessary simplifications and short cuts that are very sensibly taught to new divers, so as to make things as safe, simple and easy as possible. Bust just like when you learned in your later maths classes that you actually CAN take the square root of a negative number, what you learn on day 1 of your scuba training is not necessarily the whole truth :-)

[@Cthippo1]

@@maxtorque2277 Actually, there might be a reason behind that. Our breathing impulse is driven not by a lack of oxygen, but by the buildup of carbon dioxide. By blowing off the CO2 you reduce the perceived need to breathe and reduce stress.

[@hamshackleton]

Shaun did better than I expected. Doesn't a lion-fish come under the butterfly classification? They are rather (ahem) venomous!

[@robbo3lj871]

this HAS to be a weekly feature lol

[@jennandcory6659]

#askMark or #askShaun. Now that Shaun has taken some of the open water certification quizzes, will Shaun be interested in getting the actual certification?

[@donr3407]

It is not 40 meters for recreational dive, it is between 30 and 40. Reaching 40 is now a mandatory decompression stop dive.

[@scubadivingrickydamiano]

U never hold your breath underwater.

[@tomvanzanten479]

Hmmm, interesting. I will definitely use these multiple choice tips for the exams...😂

[@donr3407]

Whichever source was used to provide you with this list of questions I think has been translated from another language incorrectly. I have just recently taken my Open water e-learning, and while researching prior to test came across very similar supposed test questions that have inaccurate figures or terminology.

[@souswes]

You guys HAVE TO get him in a pool with some kit if he passes all the tests. Just doing simple mask removal skills, maybe mark throws a “shark attack” in there if he gets cocky. You can pass the tests, but failing watermanship is a no go. Good vid concept, lads.

[@TheVinny360]

First comment and I’m headed to my first open water dive as we speak 😁🤙

[@DubaiDiver]

Hope it goes well

[@Yggdrasil42]

How did it go?
