PADI Divemaster & IDC Skill Circuit - Neutrally buoyant
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- We have put together the PADI IDC Skill Circuit video for the revised PADI IDC Course. This is aimed mainly towards Divemaster and Instructor candidates, but also for divers who would like to improve their skill technique whilst being neutrally buoyant ( ➡️ environmentally responsible role models). Having been teaching for over 8 years (mainly in the Philippines), we are calling out for dive professionals to focus on teaching students with conservation in mind. We want to help sustain the health & beauty, not only around the Philippine archipelago, but worldwide.
There are many variations of these skills, and depending on equipment/gear configuration, these techniques may alter slightly. (Plus, you may have your own personal style of demonstrating, which is also great!). A wing BCD is used in these skill demos, a more recently popular choice of BCD (and great for trim!), however you can still follow along using a recreational BCD.
Due to the current global situation regarding COVID-19, we have added a few tips that may help with reducing risk of transmission. This is all very recent and I’m sure there will be more changes in the future.

I know everyone is commenting on this, but I cant help myself. I have never seen buoyancy control like hers. Unreal. Beautiful to behold. Great video.
Thanks very much! ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video of the 24 skills. I too am studying for PADI DM and find it difficult to be as thorough as you in my practice. I have watched your skills for months and they are really helping me become better. Your finning skills and buoyance are amazing!! Keep up the good work. I hope to one day get to dive with you or take a class from you.
ive never seen anyone demonstrating these skills so flawlessly while neutrally buoyant wow just wow
Thanks very much !!
@@aoibheanndivepro1835 Can i ask you where you trained? Koh tao perhaps?
Close to PERECTION..... This is how all OW students should be taught. Gold Star young lady, very well done. I been working to perform this skills to this perfection with Long hose. BCD removal is not as clean yet, once I have it done, I will never teach short hose to a student again.
Great video! You're buoyancy is superb! I'm going to have to practice doing some of these skills boyant before teaching my students, lol. I just want to point out since you made this video skin (duck) diving has changed to removing snorkel before diving due to if a shallow water black out occurs people are known to take a breath as soon as their face hits the surface and if snorkel is in the mouth (black out victims have clamped down on snorkel and not spit it out) they will breath in water from the snorkel. I was trained and have taught the way shown but i was proved wrong by our newest instructor 😂. Enjoyed your video, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much !! Much appreciated - hope it’s of help :)
And thank you for pointing out the skill change. I haven’t been actively teaching in a few years since Covid but absolutely agree and support this change completely 💯 glad it’s been adjusted, I’ll pop a point in the notes ☺️☺️ you keep up the good work too !
Great job, I love how it is all done neutrally bouyant!
I am studying for a DiveMaster Skills Circuit test this week and found this video -- this is inspiring (a little intimidating - I need to improve my neutral buoyancy skills). Thank you for the perfect application of these skills - your talents we all aspire to achieve!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment ! Keep working on buoyancy control, lots of practice and you’ll nail the skills !
Great video and very well performed. You guys are the best!
Great Job, definitely going to study and share when I am able to work again. 😊
Thanks for a great video Aoibheann, it was interesting and of good use for me for my Open Water Course next week.
You are true professional Aoibheann, you take everything step by step, it was a great help to me when I completed my open water training last October. Are you going to do video on Advanced Open Water.
This is awesome - very useful and well explained!
Great job to both you and Raffy :)
This Is the way... No More knees
Great performance, thx a lot.
This is super helpful. I went through open water with the old method and never got a chance to learn or teach this method. With PADI pushing neutral buoyancy during classes now its great to see good demonstrations of each of the skills.
Thanks Paden, so glad it could help. It’s still very common for open water courses to be taught on the knees without any introduction to trim and kicking styles (frog, back, helicopter). These techniques should be focused during beginner courses - students generally pick it up really fast if time is spent well.
I’ve watched your videos prepping for divemaster last year, AI earlier this year and now OWSI, and they are fantastic reference material, thank you so much for sharing. Your buoyancy control is really impressive… after all these years and so many courses, I still have trouble hovering completely still like this when at only a few feet depth in a pool. With even the slightest breath I rise somewhat. Going to continue to aim for mastery at your level 😊
Hello, thank you so much! Delighted it’s been a huge help. I’m sure your buoyancy control is fantastic - keep on focusing on breath adjustments. Good luck with the OWSI, I’m sure you’ll smash it!!! 👏
Amazing video! Aoibheann and Rafy are the best!
Outstanding videos!!! I'm in the DM program with another agency and their program info, their study info and videos are not as detailed. Regardless of dive agency, I am always willing to learn more to be a better, safer diver and to make sure my groups dive safely. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!! So glad it can be of help, good luck with you DM, I’m sure you’ll smash it ☺️
Keeping 2nd stage and octo off the ground, why is this not shown more in IDC skill circuit videos? 2 mins in and I'm impressed, got a sub and like, looking forward to more great content guys
Thanks Simon ! Yeah I agree, not only to keep the regs safe, but also to keep clean (as they do go in your mouth). Thanks again ☺️
I enjoyed your video and found it very interesting and helpful, I am doing my Open Water Cert in September.
Thanks Ronan, glad it has helped! Good luck with the course, I’m sure it’ll go great!
the best skill for 2020 great job !!! keep teaching
Thanks so much 😍!
This skill session video is the best and most clear one i have been able to find so far!
Very nice thanks for uploading helped me a lot.
Thanks so much! Really glad it’s been able to help develop your skills.
It did!! Finished divemaster yesterday, now up for IDC 👌🏻
Shared your video with other divers as well
@@vermeulvermeul5761 that’s brilliant! Congratulations 👏. Good luck with the IDC, I’m sure you’ll smash it! Thanks for sharing the video too :)
@@aoibheanndivepro1835 passed IDC last week ;) 1 full month being divemaster haha
Thanks videos really helped!!
@@vermeulvermeul5761 fantastic news!!! Well done ☺️🙌 so glad it helped, and now you get to teach so many others !
Pure brilliance
Thanks very much!!
i am working through my divemaster here in Costa del Sol.... loved the video to pieces
@@arroyodflint7114 I’m so glad to hear it was able to help you through the Divemaster course ! ☺️
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
Thank you Dung, glad you enjoyed it 🙂 hope it’s helped!
Amazing execution. It helped me so much during my DM course
Thanks very much, delighted to hear it helped during your course !
Very nicely done! Bravo! Great editing and excellent skill work 😁
Thanks so much ☺️
Its about time someone did it right. Well done.
Thanks Miko!
On the first skill, set up and break down, there is no reason to check the hydro and viz. They have no meaning except to the owner of the tank. Checking the o-ring and the pressure rating are the two things people need to check. Nice job demo’ing the skills in a horizontal position!
It does have a meaning; meeting performance requirements in your course
Great video and very well performed.
Thanks very much ☺️
Super circuit demo, thank you! Only comment is I wish you used a regular BC instead of a wing, but still the best demo online :-)
Thank you Alexandra 🥰 I hope it’s helped.
Most of the skills are transferable for a regular BCD with a few minor adjustments - Have you thought about trying out a wing?
Thanks for the excellent skills demo. Appreciate all that you do for scuba diving.
Thanks very much Eric, hope it was helpful ! ☺️
Awesome!! great corona proof skill set :) thanks for sharing, will take some of this into training....almost done with my DM course!!
Thanks so much Nick! Delighted it can help with your training, good luck with the rest of the course 👏!!!
@@aoibheanndivepro1835 thank you! :)
Tq....
In which Dive Center do you work? I'm looking for a place to do the PADI IDC in Spanish. Great video!
Great videos , you are helping me a lot.....preparing for IDC IE.
Hi Gregory, thanks so much! I’m delighted to hear they are helping. Good luck with the IDC, I’m sure you’ll do great !
@@aoibheanndivepro1835 Passed first try ! thank you so much ! Wish you all the best , hope you continue to help people !
@@gregoryvlachoulis2983 awww how fantastic ! Well done 👏👏delighted to hear, I’m sure you’ll be a wonderful instructor and inspire many others
Very well performed skills and very helpful for my current DMT. My only question is why is weight belt under BCD straps? My understanding is wg belt should be unencumbered.
Hello Jonathan, thanks very much. Much appreciated. Regarding the weight belt (on a wing set up), it is easy enough to ditch on the surface - undo bcd strap, undo weight belt. If under the bcd strap and accidentally came loose you wouldn’t lose it. You do not want it coming off accidentally at depth. This is taught at technical level but as important at recreational. Just ensure to brief buddy during pre-dive safety check. Hope that helps.
Nice posture and pantomime 👍🏼 but metal backplate with yoke and octopus… 😮
Question? on skill #5 when switching from snorkel to regulator why do you need to blow air while making the switch? I understand if you were at depth and switching from one reg to the other but why when you are at the surface when you are at the same atmosphere pressure. Just curious
Hello, great question. As you’ve mentioned at the surface there is no risk but for students it’s to continuously build good habits and muscle memory whenever removing the reg from mouth - this will help when it comes to skills UW such as regulator recover etc. Hope that helps :)
I really enjoyed watching your demonstrations, they reminded me a lot how I used to do mines. Particular that your are mostly neutrally buoyant.
However I can't understand why on earth you will demonstrate both fin pivot and hover, with deflating your BCD and then touching the bottom!
I now of course for the student to be able to meet the performance requirements they need to either use the power inflator or orally inflate the bcd. But they can either simulate it or do it on a decent. And please don't sit in the buddha position - it's not being in trim and just sending a bad signal!
Both skill are very important, but they are way out of touch with reality and the if we look at where they are used - during the OWD program. If the OW course is done nice and slowly, by the time the student get the those skills they will have no problems performing them.
Also why on earth do you blow bubbles during the regulator to snorkel exchange on the surface? It's not part of the performance requirements and you are on the surface and no point venting your air ways.
Just my feedback and I have done my fair share of OW courses, where of course not more than maybe around 100 where done in neutral buoyancy.
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your thoughts.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if all courses could be taught completely neutrally buoyant and for students to have total control from the minute they are under the surface… but it’s not realistic and that’s where instructor demonstrations come into play. This video is aimed towards DMs and instructors to help develop their skill performance and demonstrations for IDCs and continuing on to teach. With students, as you are of course aware, it’s about progression. It’s absolutely ok for students to start their fin pivot / hover from the bottom at the beginning if needed - ensuring you have the correct environment (sandy bottom Etc). For IDCs you cannot have any arm / finning movement during the hover therefore hovering in trim position can be tricky for many, Buddha ensures there’s no temptation to move and fin/arm allowing for completely breath control - and it’s fun! 😄 Students love to hover in different positions. It’s all about learning about breath control, positioning and balance which will lead to great trim positioning.
* You are absolutely right - if the OW course is taught nice and slowly and you have minimal students they will nail it. And really all students should be frog kicking / back finning before even putting a tank on their back - but again realistically and sadly many instructors aren’t given this time. I have been very privileged to work in such an environment where we not only have the time to teach students but have the time to work with them to fine tune buoyancy control to enable them to carry out marine conservation work confidently and conservatively in trim position.
* blowing bubbles snk/reg exchange - it’s all about creating good habits and muscle memory. Yes we don’t need to worry about lung over expansion at the surface. But again this is progression and confidence building for the student, building good habits so that whenever their reg is out UW that they remember such a vital thing to avoid serious injury.
Hope this helps clarify! Delighted to see more instructors teaching neutrally buoyant. We are, at the end of the day, the role models for our students 🌞
She’s awesome
Thanks ! ☺️
Just starting my IDC in about 3 weeks and ploughing through my TEK 40/45/50 as we speak which started in December
@@arroyodflint7114 oh fantastic!!
Tec training brilliant and great to have more knowledge as an instructor. Good luck on the IDC - I’m sure you’ll do brilliantly!
@@aoibheanndivepro1835 thank you
If the regulator is free-flowing 22:35 ...just switch it out and breathe from the octo!
One of the skills students need to master is how to breathe from a free-flowing regulator. It also allows you to make use of the lost air rather than use more by switching. If you switch to your octo you will run out of air very fast so switch to your buddy’s octo instead. 👌
@@aoibheanndivepro1835 It's a skill every diver learns, and is a theoretical safety skill for the reasons you mention, but in practice in 20 years of diving never had (or seen) a free flowing reg. and forgot this was even possible. I'm sure I am not alone in this.
21:13 вот ты чудо, говорит всплываем, сама на инфляторе спускает воздух из bcd🤦 padi, ох уж эти инструктора...
