Steve, One of the best videos I’ve seen about building rebreathers. A little bit skeptical about the nerd though , but I guess that computer has its benefits compared with the petrell. Anyways, awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding! Very inspirational video. Thanks for sharing brother. Following you there!

Morning

Love you, dad

Mate he has a lot of gas in those stages.

nice man congrats I am a subscriber because of your hard work love you man

This will be the best lesson for you bro! Don't quit ;) Check your equipment before you go, if need it a couple of times, and f**k the panic! =) Put the things that you expect to be exactly where you want to be! Hold them there, and maunt them hard there! God bless you, buddy! Best Regards

Im autistic and have a sprinkle I Of ADD and ADHD. Can I still dive?

😂

Poor buddy

Thank you for having the courage to post this video! We're all human and we all make mistakes while diving. Sharing them, talking about them, and learning from them is how we all get better and save lives

That’s awesome Bro.Steve

Amazing

Instra360x4?

I just seen this, check to see if you got apnea. Takes me about the same time to get there. I am going make me a checklist

Aww. Breaks my heart. Reminds me of my boy when he gets upset. Good job dad for backing him up and letting him know it’s going to be okay

Thanks for sharing man. Helps all of us, backmount divers, as I’m sure you already know.

You know exactly what his first words were 😂

That's the best time to teach them how to scuba dive when they're young

My brother sleepwalks i have filmed it countless times but he can see where we are it scares the crap out of my family

Absolutely nothing it is a cuincidence or a prank don't make yourself stupid friend

Great video Steve. Do you use Molykote 111 on the pin connectors for the Nerd or HUD? If so, how often and how much are you using? That's what the manual recommends, but didn't see exactly where I should be applying it, how often and how much to use. Similar to Triblolube, I assume less is more (shiny not slimy), just not sure if it should be on the pins themselves or just on the rubber portion of the pins, etc.

I’ve always wanted to scuba and just did my first session for the course! It isn’t coming easy to me even though I thought my enthusiasm would be enough to make it feel like second nature. I’m a bit afraid of the things that can go wrong. What do you do if you inhale water accidentally because the regulator gets knocked out?

like- like- like-like-like-like

That’s awesome!

Very proud of you for your accomplishments. I struggle with my own issues but diving is definitely therapeutic. Gilboa is 2 hours from me as I live just south of Columbus, Ohio. I truly hope to link up with you and dive.

tried those a few days ago I can’t say in went well 🤣

Ignorant and for them to be that deep they had to be an advanced or stupid diver probably both

me

It's me Carson from gilboa quarry

Can you please make another video

Shutoff valve I think it's to close the intake of diluent, I don't see how would create a problem with CO2, just see a problem if you go deeper and the counter lungs get squeezed.

11:35 But he has a stage bottle, so why is going to be close? TTS of just 10 minutes

I've been diving a while, 92. I've been an instructor, rec, tech, comm. I just do my thing, everyone can do theirs, everyone stay out of everyone's way. Ego divers? Twats, who cares about your quals and badges sewn on yer knickers? Balls to them. Carry on regardless...

U suck

150 is the perfect depth for this for me... martini effect

So true, a lot of the dive shops around me are just interested in selling expensive gear. One of the instructors I had was a complete jerk. If I didn't love diving I wouldve stopped there. If they were smart they would want to welcome people to the support to increase revenue.

This possibly saved you from what could have been an even worse catastrophe down the line. Glad to see that you learned from it and so glad that you are ok!

He woukdve gone straight to the top if he was in trouble. You dont do deco stops if youre avout to die. Stop dramatising it. He was fine. His buddy woukdve also has spare air. If they was 250m down then yes but they wasnt. And he also had open curvuit reg? He was no way near death!

Holy Cow! Cons of a shutoff valve in combination with BOV explained by real life ...

Love the catridge

Looking at 3 CCRs for next year but this is the most compelling since is so travel ready.because I only dive in Mexico

I needed this as a reminder. I suffer from panic attacks and my husband and I dive Lake Mead to get me comfy before our dive in Cozumel next week. My favorite hand signal is ✋ 😂. It gives me a few seconds to ground myself when I’m uncomfortable about my surroundings, in this case it was the poor visibility and temp changes that I wasn’t used too. I was able to enjoy the dive.

Steve, this video is well done and your insight is much appreciated. My son, Jonathan (Basil Grown Underwater diver) and I will be at the quarry in a few weeks for a weekend of diving to tend to Jason. Jonathan adopted him this year and he wants to make sure that he looks his best for Gilboa divers when the season begins. I love the off / early season diving there due to the amazing visibility. I've had the pleasure of diving with you in the past and Jonathan is hoping to dive with you and your son this year either at Gilboa or Crusty's. Keep up the great work with the videos! We have both enjoyed watching them throughout the winter!! We've stayed local during the off-season and a week and a half ago the local quarry that we dove had decent viz with temps in the low 40's at 30 feet. Jonathan is loving his new drysuit and he is very thankful to Chris & Jerra from Mars Scuba / Steel City Scuba for finding one that fits a small-framed 13 year old. He's also grateful for the instructors at Mars Scuba / Steel City Scuba for training him to properly and safely use his drysuit. He's excited to now be able to join me and the rest of his dive buddies in the water throughout the entire year. See you at the quarry!!

Hope your son is doing better Steve, I must say, I’m starting to really enjoy the cold water.

Great vid. The TUSA Kleio is also a great small mask

Love you, dad this is Camden

That’s horrible!

Where you at tho

Loved the video. I have been to Gilboa once, I live in Tennessee but have family in Ohio. I actually changed dive shop and from PADI to SSI for the ego thing you discussed in this video. I made Master diver in my first 9 months and am very proud of it. My goal is to be a Dive Guide with SSI. I want to be able to help new divers any way I can so they don’t have to deal with the egos. Thanks for the video and laying it out the way you did.
