Great video ! I think you forgot to put "enough" in the description - this does not sound right LOL "I can't recommend a liveaboard dive-boat experience!"
This looks fantastic. I'm finishing my OW cert this weekend. I'm hoping to be able to do a liveboard in a few years. What do you think the average experience level was?
It was such a blast! The average level was all over the place. Half the group had 100+ dives, while the other half was finishing their OW. So it was accommodating to everyone.
@@ZacharyKenney8the basic, initial Open Water certification allows you to dive 90 feet deep? For some reason I thought the limit was 60 feet, without further courses.
I couldn’t agree more, I was under the same impression… welcome to diving in Southeast Asia. They knew I didn’t have an advanced open water cert and they didn’t care. My wife (dive buddy) does, so at least there’s that. But yeah, I don’t want to say there wasn’t a big difference, but as long as you have a dive computer to ensure you’re safety stops are long enough, it was a normal dive for us.
@@ZacharyKenney8 I see. Nitrogen narcosis affects different people differently at different depths, but it tends set in at 100 feet. Since it impairs your judgement kind of like being drunk and can even cause unconsciousness, it is very important to be aware of and trained for, as the deep diving specialty does. It is quite dangerous (for YOU!!, not them) that they allow a diver with only the basic open water cert to dive to even 90 feet, because the diver may not have the buoyancy control to avoid going just a bit deeper and getting narc’d. Or even with control, you may venture that bit deeper not knowing the risk and initial symptoms to be aware of. Glad you had fun and were ok. For all divers, DON’T TRUST THE LENIENCY OF DIVE SHOPS. It is up to you to know the limits of your training and experience. Check out the dry suit diver in Montana who died during training. She unfortunately had faith in an inexperienced training team.

this would even better if there had been night dive
I couldn’t agree more! Some people did do a night dive on the first night. But I wasn’t certified for it at the time so I never asked about it.
Hi, how to book? Could you plz share some booking info

What scuba certification did you need for this?
Just an open water cert is required! But some people were getting their certification while they were on the boat! 2 birds one stone!
