This was my daughter until a Red Sea live aboard trip last summer. The divemasters warned that you want to control your buoyancy and keep your hands from flailing all over the place as it could attract sharks and other animals to you. Needless to say that when we started swimming with hammerheads she straightened right up.. ;)

As a surfer and lap swimmer I couldn't help myself from those arm movements in my first couple of dives. But it soon became clear to me that it's about minimum movement, reduced need for air, and maximum efficiency. Still working on how that all comes together. Other thing, was funny how watching the guy late in video calmly commencing his descent from the surface got my heart up with excitement! (pandemic lockdown has been tough)

[@everythingscuba]

Lol. Some great points rosco. It does take some practice and patience to slow it all down underwater and also get used to that feeling of descending into deep water! Thanks for you comments! We will work through all of these things in our upcoming series. Hope you stick around to watch them. 👌🙏🏻

Weighting. If your diving aluminium tanks, most of you over weight yourself to stop shooting to the surface. This is fine, but if you ever have a BCD failure, your going to the bottom. Fast! Instructors need to explain and teach balanced rigs.

[@mustanggun]

"That diver", is painful. I also fix that crap from the start. I hate to see people diving inefficiently.

[@lydialeigh4]

Good stuff! Looking forward to next in the series. I still struggle a little with my kick, so all info on this is appreciated. Thanks!

[@mohamednamkei3225]

Thank you

[@BAMFSQUAD]

Bro nailed it with the reenactment 😂😂😂😂

[@everythingscuba]

Haha. Thanks! I had to actually practice to get that right! Lol.

I just saw a fish last week swimming straight up like this: ⬆xD

[@everythingscuba]

Lol. Very true some fish….for example Trumpet Fish try to disguise themselves by hanging vertically but if you watch closely as they swim quickly, they become horizontal. Thanks for you comment!

[@alle_namen_schon_vergeben708]

@@everythingscuba I don't know why the fish did it. I guess it saw something to eat 🤔😅

[@shootingbricks8554]

I was the Tasmanian devil when I was first went through the open water portion of the diver

[@risasdiving]

Hahaha I asume you are not the diver on the photo. "walking" on front of that shipwreck

[@tonis8018]

I thought he was intentionally dancing underwater 😳

[@damo5998]

I look forward to the future Videos, Thanks for the good content...

[@scottstefano8744]

Great video…love the fish example…I use it too..funny that the jaw fish in the pic over your shoulder is pretty vertical as is the turtle!!😂😂 Excellent video though!

[@everythingscuba]

You are right!

[@axeman787]

I love this guys videos. So "to the point" and intellectual.

[@stevesscubaschool5330]

We just had a Divemaster come to us like that. Omg

[@timboyer8783]

This videos are exceptional! Would love to see propulsion coverage, specifically frog kicking

[@everythingscuba]

Coming soon!

[@piumsameera8459]

Sir can you teach us about Halftime

[@guilhermebesbati973]

I feel attacked lol thank you for the tips!

[@shirleyandrew4014]

This channel is amazing

[@hillbillyparamedic9221]

PADI could learn from this video series. I'm not totally opposed to lecture format buuuut, videos like this reach people and remain in memory far better then what is currently represented. Keep up the videos, and I appreciate the knowledge you give!!!

[@everythingscuba]

Thank you for your kind words. Both Josh and Lyell are PADI instructors (Josh is also an SSI Instructor), and both firmly believe regardless of which agency an instructors works for students and divers should all be taught in a thorough and well thought out manner. The quality of the education a diver receives is less about the agency involved and more about the quality of the instructors teaching the courses. We appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos!

[@kenmh7357]

This demo diver is very experienced. Wing BCD, SMB etc

[@everythingscuba]

That’s because the demo diver is Lyell. Only doing a demonic what we see sometimes from newer student (and some certified) divers. :)

[@davelundergoesunder]

Thank you.

[@johnsmith-mz9hh]

Strange he had no suggestions regarding to what do with arms

[@ghostface1066]

If you're looking for some: Some people keep them to their sides, many people have their hands crossed in front of them so they can see their computer. In the beginning I would keep mine in my pockets unless I was looking at a gauge or my comp so I'd stop using them.

Great video Lyell

[@johnmontgomery2735]

Hey there did you already make the other videos in this series? If you did I don't see the link for them

[@everythingscuba]

John those videos are made but will be released one by on over the next few months. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

[@derickdevindavis]

@@everythingscuba This is the era of Netflix Binge watching! LOL. Looking forward to them, but "months" might loose my attention span. BTW: I enjoyed the video!

Looks like the guy was having fun to me it's his dive let him be

[@hdunbavan4844]

Don't listen to this dive how ever you feel comfortable but always be safe....

[@everythingscuba]

+H Dunbavan hard to be safe diving like that.

[@hdunbavan4844]

Everything Scuba don't judge by your impeccably high standards understand what works for you may not work for the next person

[@everythingscuba]

@@hdunbavan4844 that’s true but there is no reason you shouldn’t try to continuously improve. And yes as an instructor I believe we al should have impeccably high standards for our students. Based on your comment “dive however you feel”…..what if I felt like diving with 20 extra pounds that I don’t need and put them in my pockets because I feel better that way? Be careful of the statements you make and how they might be interpreted is all I’m saying. Thanks for watching.

[@hdunbavan4844]

Everything Scuba oh behave yourself and don't put words in my mouth as in your last statement

[@skzion2]

@@hdunbavan4844 You're being ridiculous. You think it's fun running out of air in 20 minutes of frantic bicycling and waiving around? Guys like this stop diving and that's that.
