I am 11 years old and me and my mom just finished our exam for diving I am so excited but scarred

[@WaterlineShorts]

Congratulations. That's so exciting. I remember my first dives. I was so nervous. In fact I was really nervous for about 20 dives. After that it started to make more sense and I was familiar with everything. Let me know how you get on!

I haven't started my lesson yet but I am looking forward to learning more on this channel. This is part of my bucket list in life. I am not going to try any thing to deep but just being under water is a great experience. Thanks

[@freediverhd]

quality of the video is great. No channel has succeeded in the scuba diving field as of yet.... which kinda means its wide open for somebody to step in.... could also mean its very difficult to build it up since the exist youtube community of scuba divers is very fragmented. When was searching for scuba info when i was getting certificed in 2011, really nothing like this existed on the interenet.

[@WaterlineShorts]

+Freediver HD Thanks. I think there are some fantastic diving channels. I am going to concentrate on training and working with other channels who specialise in their area of the world below the waterline.

[@silverhiker4549]

Thank you! I'm going to a scuba introduction class for my brain injury. They say, diving helps. I was really, really scared and still am scared but, a little less. thank you💚

[@WaterlineShorts]

Diving can help. Essentially you are using pressure to increase the effect of oxygen in the air your breath. Sometimes if you have an injury a doctor might prescribe hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This would normally be done in a diving chamber and they would actually increase the amount of oxygen in the mix. I have a friend who was in an accident. He spent a lot of time scuba diving afterwards which helped heal his injuries. Best of luck, I hope that diving can become a part of your life as well a solution to a traumatic incident.

Diving is dangerous and if you don't know what your doing, your most likely putting yourself at risk of drowning or possibly getting the bends

[@leebrown3961]

I carry almost every day. I have tried multiple strap around holsters in the past and absolutely hate them! They are sweaty in the summer and really not very comfortable. I was skeptical but wanted to try this holster since they offered a money back guarantee. He is right it is fantastic. I have now purchased one for my wife as well. It is well worth it!

[@arvindagarwal2273]

[@DEDomain]

Yo I'm about to start a scuba diving class. Can I wear glasses?

[@WaterlineShorts]

No you can't wear glasses. You can wear contact lenses and you can get lenses for your mask. The arms of your glasses would break the seal of the mask and let water in so you can't wear glasses.

[@zarmril]

Please note that you MUST take a PADI or NAUI course even if you watched this video. It is impossible to explain how to safely SCUBA dive in a 3-minute video. It takes about a week to get properly certified and understand the concept of diving... It is so dangerous to dive without training he did not nearly explain how dangerous it is to dive.

[@WaterlineShorts]

Bom Italia that's awesome. Where will you be diving?

[@micahroper9313]

Same

[@Flip111000]

ok what about Regular Free diving or if you have a mini Air cannister Desending - Close nose and blow Out - and how many times do you do this ? for example, first time at arround 3 meters or something ? Assending - Close nose and Swallow ?? and what about the exhaling and inhaling part, do you need to do any of this going up and down ?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Clearing you ears is the same for scuba or freediving. The biggest pressure change happens in the first 10m so you should clear your ears 3-4 times in the first 10m. After that 2-3 times every 10m. I would start my first at 1-2m. On the way up you don't need to do anything, the air will expand and escape naturally. Here is a longer video with a lot more detail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIHSq3Sfo9Cbrpo

[@andrewhajipour40]

I don't understand the clearing of the mask like how it works

[@WaterlineShorts]

Hi Andrew. Air is lighter than water. When you breath air into the mask it floats to the top of the mask. When you hold the top of the mask, the air cant escape out the top so its starts to fill the mask. As the air fills the mask it forces the water out the bottom. By tilting your head back, the very bottom of the mask is the lowest point and so all the water escapes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ3UfpRoa7-UoLM

[@gee4526]

Whenever your clearing your mask you hold the top of the mask against your forehead this holds the seal at the top of the mask. Then you slightly pull the seal away from the bottom of the mask as you exhale through your nose when you do this the air your exhaling forces the water from the bottom of the mask thus clearing it. Hope this helps you understand the theory.

[@maneatingleprechaun]

Great video and to the point. Question can I scuba dive just like snorkeling? How much time before I get to go on a tour with others to scuba dive ? Aloha

[@WaterlineShorts]

Aloha You need to be qualified in order to dive. Course takes about 5 days full time or weekends/evenings for 2 weeks. Give or take.

How to take out water from the mask?

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

Just subscribed. So, is it possible to scuba dive based on theoretical videos only? Is it legal to do so in the UK/ Europe? Always wanted to dive, never got past free-diving.

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

Also, I always wondered how I would go about filling the oxygen bottles by myself O.o

[@WaterlineShorts]

Hey George So much to say. No you can't dive based on theory alone. You need to be qualified. So you would need to take a course at your local dive centre. Or you can dive with an instructor. The cylinders are filled with air like you breathe at the surface not oxygen. It's very high pressure and you would never be able to fill them yourself. You would have to take them in to a dive centre to fill for you. Or you could buy a compressor but that's a bit overboard. A dive centre would ask to see your certification card in order to fill a cylinder or buy scuba equipment. This channel is really just to give you an idea of what to expect when you learn. Where are you based. If you're near London you could come in the pool with me and I'll get you started with a discover scuba diving session.

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

@@WaterlineShorts Wish I could, I'm nowhere near Ole Blighty. You confirmed what I feared. I'll look into it but I also fear it might be very costly indeed. 'Til then, I will have to hold my breath while diving :D Thanks a lot for the information!

I just wanna learn it so bad but I live nowhere near the sea

I have a question, what is the certificate for??

[@WaterlineShorts]

When you go diving or want to fill a cylinder you will need to show proof of qualification to do the dive. Different qualifications will give you access to different dive sites.

[@WaterlineShorts]

@@joeoreilly_35 You can probably expect that for about 10-15 dives then by 20 dives its starting to really sink in and you get a lot more comfortable. Just takes time to piece it all together and get to a point of habit rather than having to think.

[@WaterlineShorts]

@@mohamedsbh9072 OK. Well I think there are two things. 1. Getting dizzy is not related to your ears. That is because you are breathing heavily. Its like hyperventilating but it gets worse when you are under water. You will get better as you relax more. 2. Equlising your ears is more tricky because you can have narrow eustachian tubes. You need to loosen them up and find a way clear them that works for you. This is a good article www.danap.org/_pdf/DAN-SmartGuide-Ears.pdf

[@monikamehta8442]

i am myopic . i use contract lenses .can i do scuba driving wearing contract lenses

[@WaterlineShorts]

Jai Hind Jai Bihar yes you can. I wear contacts on every dive. I use disposable lenses so if anything happens they wash away and I replace them. Whenever I go diving I make sure I bring a spare set and my glasses. In almost 20 years of diving I have only ever lost one lens. I have also talked with optometrist's about this and they pointed out that even if you open your eyes under water with contact lenses the salt water should actually create a vacuum to your eye because of the different levels of salt between the ocean and your eye. But be careful to throw away lenses after exposure to sea water. There is bacteria in the ocean and you should not let that bacteria build up in your eyes if you can help it.

[@beastly1674]

My right ear enjoyed this

[@TheWholeGrainBread_Real]

I wear glasses so is there a way to scuba dive with glasses?

[@WaterlineShorts]

Yes you can. Simplest to wear contact lenses but you can also get lenses fitted into your mask. Some masks are designed to have lenses. You need to check with your optometrist because the distance to your eye is different on your mask compared with your glasses. You can’t however simply wear your glasses and put a mask over them because the arms will break the seal of your mask.
