The editing style in this video is giving me flashbacks to those documentary's from the early 2000s

[@BlueWorldTV]

We edit in a television style, as this show also airs on TV in a lot of countries. Some people expect a VLOG-like style on KZbin but this is more of a classic documentary format.

[@VladM02]

BlueWorldTV i like it more this way, and I don't think I'm the only one who likes it that way , you do a great job❤️

Reminds me a lot when Jake got certified. Both were great episodes.

[@imperialmanta2583]

"The water is cold. So it's a shock when it hits your face." The mask removal in the ocean is so relatable. I did my open water certification in Canada. Just remember to not gasp and keep calm once the cold water hits your face.

[@battedpath]

I have a paid cert

[@tcoiler]

3:12 SSI on the plaque in the background....and the materials are SSI. :-)

[@brandonm1088]

Yeah I believe SSI has a set standard of what the class minimum has to be but they encourage instructors to teach new methods and expand on the material. If you notice they taught the "donate your primary" instead of your octo, which is slowly becoming more common. I was working on rescue with PADI and I'm going to just start over with SSI as my agency. They just train better and safer, they also teach skills floating neutral instead of negative.

[@seikibrian8641]

@@l_p8242 I didn't see anything that I didn't do in my PADI OW course. The tired diver tow, for example, is one of the PADI "Flexible Skills" that can be done during any of the open water dives. According to my student record, I did it on Open Water Dive #2. The "Share Air" skill, with ascent and oral inflation of the BCD on the surface, was also done on OW2.

[@Petalslash]

Congrats Zach!. Remember your training. I'll never forget I went with a beginner group because my friend was in it so they let me tag along. I was let off the boat early to do a free decent (they obviously had a rope for the group). I had done several dives including decompression dives with the dive masters so they knew i was competent. The first guy from the beginner group jumps in a few seconds in he sees a small shark and just started chasing it instead of waiting for the group like he was suppose to ( and yes once they came into the water I sat there like they were suppose to as well) long story short I can barely see this guy on one horizon and im within a couple feet of losing visibility of the boat on the other. I was hitting my tank for minutes and this guy was just ignoring me and telling me to come with him. I had to make the call grab this guy and say WE ARE DONE YOUR DIVE IS OVER. Put my flag up luckily the captain was watching his bubbles and saw this all play out from above. Never seen a dive master so mad in my life. Luckily he wasn't mad at me LOL. S**T happens but this lesson taught me to really pay attention who I dive with.

Hi Jonathan Bird! I have a question. I would like to find a place to be certified for scuba diving. I've been practicing open water diving, swim training, and even got my first step to certification card. I recently worked with the Padi Seal Team. I'm 13 years old! Do you think you have any recommendations? I would like to meet you sometime when COVID has settled!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Most people get their certification at a local dive shop. Another option is to do the class and pool work locally, then do a referral to another instructor to do the open water dives in the tropics. I personally am a big believer in getting your certification locally in cold/murky water. It makes you a much better diver. I can tell you that people who learn to dive here in New England are TOUGH divers, so they can dive anywhere. But if you get certified to dive in the warm, clear water of the tropics, with a thin wetsuit and good viz, you are definitely not going to be prepared for less ideal conditions.

[@leahgalant3341]

@@BlueWorldTV Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.:) Will definitely look for shops that do that! Thanks again for the advice!

[@laurametheny1008]

Congratulations Zack! Fantastic dream fulfilled. Good luck in your adventures and getting Jonathon to unchain you often lol! Can you take the written portion online? That would be so cool to start. I'm able to float and swim on my back and dog paddle but I have never been good at any diving. I'm hoping to rectify that with my daughters help soon. Idk if I will be allowed with COPD but I can try. Mainly it's the goggles. I need to SEE down there. My eyes can't handle the water. Maybe it would be something for my daughter and grandkids at least. Thank you guys! Another awesome vid! Going to check out your other channel. You've been warned!😈🙏💙🤘🌎

Hey Jonothan, I’m 12 and going on a shark dive in December the day after Christmas. The only problem is I don’t know the proper technique on how to steer them away, Is there any way you can help me with that, i am going in the Bahamas on the live aboard dive boat the Aquacat, have you ever been on that boat? I am goin the day after Christmas with Divers Supply Indy, you have inspired me to become a diver, keep up the good work.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Generally they will not bother you because they are more interested in the guy feeding them. Always wear dark gloves so the sharks don't think your hands are fish scraps. If they are too close for comfort then back up.

Woww, I have to say he has really good buoyancy control as a new diver

[@brandonm1088]

That's what happens with you have a good teacher. Also since it's one on one he wasn't started off with way too much weight, instructors will usually over weigh students especially since padi teaches all skills negatively buoyant. Of course this could also be a big difference between PADI and SSI with a great instructor. But I am in complete agreement, I wish I was that good in my pool sessions haha
