This is by far the most helpful scuba diving tutorial video. I haven't dived for a decade and going under the water tomorrow. After watching this video, I feel more confident! Thank you!
It’s better to take a diving course instead of relying on TH-cam videos i think. Watching videos is a good start of course (given the methods are not outdated or conform different protocols), but gaining skills = practice.
I'm an advanced open water diver with 60+ dives... but thats not going to stop me from watching training videos every once in a while! great vid, super informative!
15:44 I'm Suranel van den Berg this is dream 😂I'm currently in Milpark hospital Johannesburg with multiple burns but 😅 I know I'm going back home 🏡 soon and think how awesome this would be the first thing to do ❤❤❤❤
As a Padi dive master with over 250 dives, but haven't been in the water for some years: great video, better because it is under water where you need to understand WITHOUT words. Good job, thank you.
Great Video! I love how well it emphasizes the consistency of routines for diving skills - every step/action has a reason and the diver models it all SO well! Its also great to watch and practice reading hand signals. :-)
As an instructor love the demo , new divers should continue to learn these skills. Being confident well after your instructor has taught you. Even if you have your open water cert. Been diving since late 70's, Love teaching new students and teaching about ocean environment.
THANKYOU For making this video, i had to do a refresher coarse today and PADI website has been down for more than a week , so i watched this video 8 times and nailed my practical exercises in the water at depth , there is a lot of very good content in your videos , Cheers Dave ...
Heading to Cozumel next week.....pretty rusty since my last Blue Hole 15k' skydive with subsequent SCUBA dive at 140'! Decided to play it safe(ish) and do a refresher course with my novice diver GF beforehand. Came across this short but sweet video and wanted to congratulate you on a great production. Regardless of how may dives you have or how much experience, getting current and staying current may save your life!
I am headed out to get my OWD and AOWD certification next week and saw this video in addition to PADI material. Really really helpful. Demonstrated every skill so well. Thank you.
This is such a helpful video! As some one who’s only had two lessons for my open water course, I finally understand what they mean with the fin pivot !! Brilliant thank you so much xx
Man some stuff I completely forgot and I got certified a year ago when I was thirteen. It surprise me how things can just come and go so quickly. I love these videos man, it’s like a free refresher cource
weight belt... Try similar with yr. BCD's weight pockets or single weights. Don't forget to put the price tag back on just in case someone else may find them.
Dang, I'm doing sdi instructor training, and they fail me if I demonstrate a skill while touch bottom, or allow my student to kneel or touch as well. Padi must be much less strict eh
Likely that is because good bouyancy and control is such an important skill to have; less air consumption; less expended and wasted energy on a dive; the silt and sand are not kicked up from the bottom, which helps to maintain instead of worsen the visibility for all divers on the dive; it help divers to improve their skills, thereby decreasing the chances of their fins kicking at and possibly harming corals, other precious sea-life, and the divers on that dive; in an emergency ascent to share air with another diver it is important to maintain good and safe buoyancy and to not lose control of the ascent; plus it is respectfully one of the most important and safest skills to know and practice that we don't go touching, stirring up, or poking at anything in the Ocean, including its floor. An instructor should definitely be able to show that they have mastered that skill and display it as a good steward of the Ocean, in addition to leading by example for their students. Marine-life and divers greatly benefit from practicing good buoyancy. You and your students are going to have a very advantageous and important skill mastered. That's great! Have fun diving and teaching.
Excellent video. I was learning to dive (open water diver) and the most traumatic part of the course was taking off the mask and putting it back on underwater and extracting the water from it. I almost drowned 😫
On 3:30 the hand is upon the hose, but in the next scene it's under the hose, so during the demonstration the mistake was done, the same mistake is on 3:40 - the hand is upon the hose. This is not safety though. If you will be not quite carefull, you can loose you regulator. I stopped watch the video btw, don't know if there are any other mistakes. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi guys, I have some friends interested in watching this video with Portuguese (BR) captions. I was hoping to give the support with the caption however the video does not allow it. If you would be interested in adding captions please just allow it in the configurations. Thanks for the amazing content.
Just love the cesa skill...signal out of air, then take a few deep breaths 🤣🤣 I know it's practice, just thought it was funny. "You're out of air, so take a few deep breaths and surface slowly" lol
Quick Tipp for the first Skill: Its better to hold your buddies BCD shoulder strap as it is closer and easier to hold on to. If you hold hands the tube might be to short to properly reach your mouth.
Hi.I Ming the lead around your waist. Beiing a heavy material, are not good for your health. Better replace it with steel. Wonderfull and complete video. Thank you.
great video, very well explained. I will start my open water course next week. Is this what you have to do during your practical diving exams? Or is this just part of the lessons?
Pretty good, but I saw 2 mistakes here. When you replaced the BCD your main regulator was under your arm instead of over your arm. But good edit saved it 😁 And in my opinion for the Free Flowing Regulator mouthpiece too far from mouth or lips. Sorry had to comment on that 😁 I have been an instructor for 25 years so I see everything 😊 But the mask pinch was new to me. Gotta try that one. Normally I teach breaking the seal on top with 2 fingers 🤿 But the rest very good 👏👏🤙👌
Looks lovely! Just tried to book dives for three from UK but Belinda was so abrupt on the telephone, we’ve changed our minds! Be nice to the enquiries Belinda - basic business sense!
i dont know anything about diving and i am curious about the part don't hold our breath, is there a reason we need to exhale slowly instead of holding our breath?
In theory you don't need to exhale unless you are ascending because gases expand when pressure is reduced, which is what is happening when you are going up. And if you are holding your breath your lungs could literaly explode from the inside. Now the reason why they teach you to never hold your breath is because it should be trained into muscle memory. Cause if you panic under water you do a lot of things by muscle memory. And if you loose your air source it's easy to panic and swim towards the surface, and then exhaling is extremely important.
I thought the video was quite good. It’s not all taught at this stage. In deeper water you would normally teach that. You want at least 3-5meters (10-15ft).
@@trombonstya It is absolutely not for advanced. Any diver who gets an open water certification should be able to control their buoyancy. Not only for their own safety, but for the safety of the environment as well.
If you are going to purge, you might want to try pushing your tongue slightly against the regulator. I prefer to just blow instead of purge after I take regulator out of my mouth.
You need to always be blowing out if you don't have the reg in your mouth. So remove reg, slow stream of bubbles, blow into BCD, and then either slow stream of bubbles again or directly back to the regulator.
A diver in front of you will not wait for you to sink to the ground to wipe your mask of with his fin. Learn the skill while swimming or hovering. And locate the mask's nose from outside, so the little crab inside will not bite yr thumb. Have in minde that this is one of the most important skills ever.
@@feliciacoffey6832 Exactly right. And you also might run into some troubles with your tank of any sort that are easily fixed by removing it and taking care of them. So it's a skill worth having.

Great video! I like that there is no voice over- Just explaining everything with simple signs and some subtitles.
You need to make more videos. This is the most helpful video I’ve found so far on this topic as a new diver

I would love to see more but then while neutral buoyant. Makes it more realistic.

Glad it was helpful! Come and see us in Cairns some day.
How are you taking both courses in the same week? Don't you need a certain # of gives before taking the Advanced course? O_o

Man some stuff I completely forgot and I got certified a year ago when I was thirteen. It surprise me how things can just come and go so quickly. I love these videos man, it’s like a free refresher cource
My first class is this Sat cant wait
Mask removal and replacement and no mask swim are the most sensuous skills to learn in my book ❤
Being an AOWD it's all stuff I know, but a review from time to time if it's been a long time since your last dive is always useful.
WAW !!! it's a superb video !! very clear and instructive, I never learnt most of of these skills ! thank you !
Omg the intention and message is so clear without words it’s like experiencing ESP. brilliant work.
better then my instructor, very clear!
Buddy breathing (using one regulator) skill would be also very helpful 😊
Best course director in Australia!
weight belt... Try similar with yr. BCD's weight pockets or single weights. Don't forget to put the price tag back on just in case someone else may find them.
With weight belt is not fair...
I get the kneeling since it’s their first time but eventually they have to do it neutral gear removal would be tough though
Great demonstration.

skill number 5 i must try next time - cool :) thanks!
Great class! Question. I love the fins you have. Can you share the model?
🙏🙏🙏
Excellent instructor!
Thanks for sharing it, just got my OW last week. Refreshing of those skill is useful
Very helpful video!
Thank you from Ukraine! ))
How calm she is..made me comfortable while watching. Even though i had a licence, i am still concerning about the mask part 😂
one word!! awesome...😁😁😁😁

These are not all the skills ..
Hovering (low pressure inflator)- after attaining bouncy, normal breathing is indicated. Does that mean that the breath taken is not slow deep breath?
Super!!! Love it!!!
Ok but why not hold air while changing the regulator?

Number 1 skill: perform other skills without touching the bottom, in trim, while maintaining buoyancy.

D4 model dive computer but band d6 model. I use the same style :)
Thank you
Very clear. I loved your video.
Really great video!
I might be doing something wrong, but purging by pressing the regulator underwater just sends water straight into my throat
Try pushing the purge button/cover first, then put the mouthpiece in your mouth. 👍🐳🤿
If you are going to purge, you might want to try pushing your tongue slightly against the regulator. I prefer to just blow instead of purge after I take regulator out of my mouth.
Thank you too much for this video. Not pretty right with the remove and replace weight belt skill.. but all others are OK.
Good 👌 job
Why do you start bubbling only when you touch your lips with your finger? 🤔
on the oral inflation why do u never hold your breath what should u be doing?
You need to always be blowing out if you don't have the reg in your mouth. So remove reg, slow stream of bubbles, blow into BCD, and then either slow stream of bubbles again or directly back to the regulator.
