    Hi Sarah. When I learned to dive decades ago the only method to share air was the buddy breathing. The only one with an octopus was the instructor. Nobody was freaked out by having to do it as it was the standard for us. Of course in this day and age there are much safer (and logical/intelligent) ways to do it. Nice video. Regards.

      Cool to know! Honestly, you all that have been diving long term are real bad asses who know everything about the sport. Now we have tech for every problem you could ever encounter. It's great because it makes diving so available to people, but it also means that divers don't seem to worry about skill retention so much...

  • @davidroot2679

    Back when I started diving buddy breathing was normal. Octo's were just a suggestion not the norm. Buddy breathing is not really that hard until you try doing it with a panicked diver that refuses to give it back. :) Also, even fewer know how to buddy breath with a FFM.

    • @AzulUnlimited
      @AzulUnlimited  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think even with the Octo is an important skill to know and practice, the more you know the better, and if something i learned on my 12 years of diving is that the shit broken mouthpieces from the regulator always ends on the octo when people switch them as a lat minute... and sometimes is impossible to keep them on the mouth!

At least I'm not the only one with that fear - before my training dive, the instructors were joking (half serious) about not eating before the dive.

    This actually happened to me during advanced diver deep dive training. The air guage on my gear was 400 psi off. We were ascending at about 80 ft. when I hit empty. Remembering my dive training, I calmly swam to my instructor, pulled his octopus regulator, had a brief hand signal conversation, and ascended to the submerged tank for the safety stop. I didn't think it was a real big deal. Everyone else did, and in hindsight, it was. That's why we train. I did learn to conserve air better, and be willing to end a dive early due to low air. Question: Doesn't every open water class practice buddy breathing?
    Sorry for the long post!

    • @AzulUnlimited
      @AzulUnlimited  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the open water course, sharing air is required in all of them, but buddy breathing (sharing one regulator) isn't. Glad you knew what to do and yes, always best to be conservative and safe when it comes to calling a dive.

  • @mysteryliner
    @mysteryliner 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    We also teach to first donate your primary regulator during out of air emergencies. (again covid complicates things)
    Reason: we're cold water divers most days of the year, so we have each regulator on a separate first stage & separate valve.
    It happens that people mess up, and not open both valves.
    Or
    Many people don't often use their second regulator under water (some never do).
    So, by donating your primary, you offer an air supply that is working 100%.
    ....you take your second/long hose. And when your buddy has regained his breath,
    you switch back to your primary, buddy takes the long hose, and you work on completing all your stops required to end the dive.

    • @AzulUnlimited
      @AzulUnlimited  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That makes totally sense, I know some organisations and in Technical diving too, the second stage you offer is your main regulator.
      But is true that people need to check more often and underwater the alternate air source, sometimes they have mechanical problems that you can identify only when breathing underwater.

  • @R_T_HEIDE
    @R_T_HEIDE 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it would be great to have gas planning introduced in diver training to reduce the likelihood to end up in these situations. Make an estimate based on previous dives to determine how long you can dive and during the dive you only check your SPG to double check this, making it less likely to be surprised by the amount left in your tank. Make a calculation how much gas you need for a safe ascent with your buddy while sharing air and you're done. We all got the instructions what depth does to volumes in our open water class, it's not rocket science. My AOW instructor 10 years ago assured me in a 1 on 1 conversation that he had enough gas with him if I needed it. There was no need to make simple calculations to predict if a specific dive could be made safely. Last year during a discussion about a risk analysis course again instructors assured me that gas planning is not necessary as long as you stay within rec limits. All three of them however had no issues with teaching students how to respond in several ways to an Out Of Air scenario... I'm uncertain how to bring this up but I often feel ridiculed for doing so and l miss the bravado of the instructors to question their logic but I do want to add this point to your otherwise wonderful down to earth video. I like the way you discuss various subjects on your channel and though I may not agree on all of them I do enjoy watching them. I want to thank you for your honest answers in the replies here to your video's and I hope you can find a way to continue your passion underwater in these difficult times.

    • @AzulUnlimited

    Yes safe sport when dive to your training and being sensible,
    Was on a night dive on Friday with a local dive boat and saw a diver in another group coming up from depth on the guide’s alternative. Diver was not checking air nor was guide checking their divers. Should always be checking air but at least the guide reacted and safely controlled situation to surface.

    • @AzulUnlimited

      Wow glad to know that was only an anecdote and no something more serious. Night dives push some divers out of the confort zone and even if is a easy dive, people use to breath more than usual, new environments or new equipment are a point of stress and divers/dive guides should monitorice pressure gauges, NDL and dive buddies more often.

    Going through emergency situations in my head I come up with one idea. In case of last resort, when you can't breathe, do you think it would be possible to take a breath from BCD? Assuming it is not empty, also during ascent it will be expanding. For sure it would be safer to do CESA from 10m, but what if you are at 30m and things went really wrong?

    • @AzulUnlimited
      @AzulUnlimited  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it would be pretty difficult to execute and my guess is (based on the cleanliness of bcds I've seen - including my own 🤭), if you did get a breath, it might make you cough, putting you at greater risk of inhaling water.

    I really just wanna know what happens if you run out of air.. Does your ability to take a breath just stop. Or are you still able to take a breath but the oxygen content is just super low, thus making you hypoxic before you go.
    The latter being the best scenario when this happens i'd think. least painful.

    • @bullsharkreef
      @bullsharkreef 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The O2 content stay the same, but as the pressure drops in your tank below a certain point breathing become gradually harder and harder until you can't pull air anymore from your reg. It's more gradual on an unbalanced regulator, but you still should get plenty of warning with a balanced regulator unless you're really not paying attention(by plenty I mean enough to get you to the surface in open water).

    They teach to dump weight when out of air below 9 meters now? That seems dangerous to me, and not warranted. Normally a first stage will stay open when below its set intermediate pressure and not regulate anymore. So when you're out of air, you're not really out of air, it's just that the pressure in your tank is too low to combat the ambient pressure at the depth you're currently at. That means that making a controlled ascent you should get a few usable breath as you're going up and the ambient pressure drop, not enough for a safety stop but surely enough to get a calm and in control diver to the surface from any depth.
    Mind you that I learned on J type valves and no SPG, meaning that out of air situation was a regular thing and not something to panic with.

  • @Sombre____
    @Sombre____ 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It would be great if you could explain to people why you must not hold your breath during scuba diving. I see than people don't understand why. And instructor never explain why.
    And also why you can't give air to a free diver.
    A free diver is holding is breath from the surface, so when he descend deep underwater, the pressure of the water is squeezing the larynx because the air is not equalize. (Your lung get tiny for the same reason).
    A scuba diver is breathing air as he descend so the air in his lung are always equalise, making him able to breath with a lot of water pressure. So the free diver will not be able to breath your air because the larynx is closed and with the difference of pressure, you will not be able to open it.

      It's depends of the agency, if you do it with PADI, your instructor will teach you the CESA and Emergency weight drop (similar to EBA). If you take the open water with SSI then yes, the safety skill they teach for out of air situations is the EBA.

      Emergency buoyancy ascent is part of the SSI ow and in PADI you have a variation call emergency weight drop where you can teach the skill either at the surface or underwater and ascent. DM program has buddy breathing as a part of the equipment exchange but without the ascent part, that is by standards but as a reminder for old school divers or if the Octo of the rescue diver malfunction ( I have seen membrane of one octo fail on a rescue course that could also happen in a real accident) we included the buddy breathing skill.

If a balanced rig concept is taught, ditching weights underwater is unnecessary, but a good idea at the surface to be as buoyant as possible. I've dealt with one panicked diver in my life, and when I mashed on his inflator button and lifted him out of the water, he instantly calmed down. I hope you don't take this as a challenge from some keyboard warrior. I'm interested in just having an exchange of ideas. I think your videos that I've seen so far are good and I've subscribed.

      @@__-oq8gz No worries, always happy to shares ideas!! We teach ow in a pool for confine and then we head to Komodo for the rest of the course, for confine we may use the bottom for some skills but by the end of the confine water most of them are done with the concept of being neutrally buoyant (as much as they can be but the idea is not using the knees). Then in OW since the firs dive we encourage descents in trim position and all the skills are done on the fly, plus several weight checks at the beginning and end of the dive for a low pressure aluminum tank.
      Sometimes I take blocks of 2 pounds with clips to attache them to different parts of the bcd and play with the trim position, and on our IDCs we try to cover all the variables doing presentations using the bottom and going on our knees (sometimes you have no choice as an instructor like teaching a group of 8 student in the pool) and also neutrally buoyant, but the final goal is to don´t touch anything.

    I find it ironic that people claim to have experience dealing with emergency scenarios simply because they are a veteran scuba instructor, but have never done specific emergency training as a drill with continuously changing variables. Easy to say there is a lot of bad training out there, however simply doing a rescue course is not going to arm an individual with the skills to self rescue.
    The only way you can learn to self rescue proficiently is to train the scenarios for real. I have done this, so I can say it. But I can categorically say 99% of veteran divers / instructors will and do panic.

    • @AzulUnlimited
      @AzulUnlimited  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have been following the comments on Facebook and is incredible the amount of divers (veteran, professional and so call experience divers with 50 dives) that scream loud "you don't run out of air" "you sucks, check your SPG".... Obviously they either never experience incidents or accidents before, or they don't have enough experience diving around the world in different environments to know that ACCIDENTS happens and not because you sucks as a diver.
      Many Veterans and professional will freeze in an accident for many reasons and the first one is that they don't practice the rescue skills anymore and second because we have now so many different configurations that they will not know how to rescue someone in sidemount configuration or remove a wing BCD with a tight harness. I´m not saying they are not good divers... they don't have the rescue skills sharp enough to deal with an accident. But the most importan reason is that on their mind THAT NEVER HAPPENS!! so the level of awareness as a buddy o on a group is 0.
      Thanks for leaving your thoughts here!

      @@AzulUnlimited rescue courses should include Hogarthian harnesses (that students cut), sidemount, and i3 inflators. I wear an i3 in confined water, and don't tell students about it. So when they go looking for the inflator hose, they find it isn't there. I don't do that to be a jerk, but to use that as a teaching opportunity to stop and look to evaluate the diver in distress.

      Hello there!
      Well I could say that on average, for a not very deep dive ( 12 to 17 mt ) and good diving conditions, visibility, warm water temperature, no current etc... a 50 to 60 minutes dive, including the safety stop and ending with 60 Bar on the tank, is pretty standard.

      @AzulUnlimited  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mmmmm if with anybody you mean Me? Yesss, more times that I can count (who say that)
      But honestly, that happens more often that should be, and the solution is very easy, buddy check before the dive. I know many dive guides like me or Aitor, sometimes jump with the tank close, specially when you are so busy teaching, doing briefings, taking care of all divers equipment etc that you forgot to check your own equipment.
      I asked Aitor and mmm in more or less 7000+ dives he maybe forgot to open the tank around 20 times, is not bad but 0 times should be the perfect answer. In my case I think no more than 5 or 6 times but still not good.

      Hey there! It's such a fantastic day when your favorite scuba diver responds to your comment, right? I'm not all that technical, but I genuinely believe that someone in a group should always have a stage tank, like a dive guide. I had to use mine on my last wreck dive because one of our buddies got a little too excited and drained his tanks quickly. There's a truth to this that theory and confined water practice just can't compare with the real-life experience (i.e. my near drowning experience, buddy separation, and dSMB deployment due to unplanned drift to name a few), all that when I was doing my Advanced Open-Water course in Bali.
      By the way, I hope your next trip to Indonesia is absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, I can't afford the trip that you announced on your site as I had my Bali trip and possibly Port Moresby. However, I'll be in Bali from July 16th to August 16th, with my SM, Al tanks, 3mm shortie, and soaking up the warm water - something I've never done before since you'll freeze to death with 3mm in NZ and that we don't have Al tanks (it will be an amazing reunion with my instructors). If you happen to be in Bali during that time, let's stay in touch, and hopefully, we can meet up.
      Before my Bali trip, I'll be taking my XR Sidemount course (terrified and excited in the same time as he will teach me how to fully unclipped both tanks and attach them on a line). Unfortunately, we don't have Nex/Razor/Dive Rite, so I'll be using XDEEP. If I have any questions, would it be okay for me to reach out to you for your wisdom on sidemount diving? Thanks again, and I hope you have an incredible dive today!
