Divemaster Stress Test made easy

- This video demonstrates the Stress Test that is required for your Dive Master certification. Nathan Matthews and Dean Kennedy demonstrate this successfully on their first attempt. They have been diving buddies since the first day of their open water course. This video was taken in Cape Town, South Africa just off Simons Town beach in 2019. They are around 12 meters deep, or 40 feet. Enjoy :)
Absolutely Amazing... Well done Guys!!! Teamwork on point
Good dive buddies
I ware the same SEAC Sub BCD for 13 years. Amazing BCD, love it.
I remember that test. It was awesome
Nice teamwork.
крутяк, it is cool
Doesn’t look too bad to be honest. Looks fun.
Good info
Mmmm yum
Wow. That's trust
Irado demais esses cursos.
👍
“Stress” test made “Easy”?? …Sounds like an oxymoron 👌 😂
Dude in the black exposure suit needed a little more work on his buoyancy during the switching of bcds
Diver on the right has an air thank leak
Confused on why a stress test would consist of removing and replacing fins. If your fins or fin falls off keep swimming or let your dive buddy know you’re surfacing. Like ditching weights, that’s a last resort.taking your bcd off underwater, typically never lol. And why share air that way, all have two octos, use them. This isn’t a stress test it’s a sheer boredom test.
its more of a mental stressor in my experience. You won't be swapping masks underwater while sharing a reg in any real-world situation. It is more of a mental test from the combination of tasks combined with an amount of gas deprivation which requires teamwork to resolve. I found the mask swap to be particularly testing since you can't easily see eachother while sharing an occy.
I'm not a diver, why do they keep blowing out air after taking a breath? Wouldn't it be better to hold your breath for a bit and then exhale before inhaling again?
I understand that you can't hold your breath when you are ascending but why aren't they doing it here?
Golden rule of diving is to NEVER hold your breath. It’s very important to consistently breathe. When the regulator isn’t in your mouth, you need to slowly let out bubbles. Failure to do so can lead to serious injuries.
@@nathanmatthews4981 But I don't understand the physics behind that, is there also a danger when you are stationary? Or is that rule purely for muscle memory so you don't screw up when you are ascending?
The main danger is when you’re ascending like you stated. It’s just important never to get in the habit of holding your breath, no matter if you’re stationary, descending or ascending.
@@nathanmatthews4981 I see, that makes sense. I thought that maybe there was an extra danger I didn't know about.
Thanks for the reply.
Why don't do it in proper trim and neutrally buoyant?
Both divers removing weights together (and BCD removal if you have integrated weights) makes buoyancy while also holding onto a weight belt with one hand and eachother with the other while still needing to pass the regulator back and forth is a lot at once and could easily become potentially dangerous. That and the fact you practically cant stay in trim when you remove a bcd since itll just weigh you down wherever you are holding it, especially if you have integrated weights during the test.
All of these things are honestly amazing proof for why this skill is horseshit 😂 @@stolfygaming
@@Dasycottus its just a stress test you're never gonna be doing a whole gear swap underwater lol
Why are neither of them consistently blowing out bubbles when their regulator is out?!
We are. Watch again.
Typiquement le type d'exercice qui n'a absolument aucun intérêt ....quand tu vois l'équipement qu'ils on et le nombre de kilos, tu te dis que ce système de formation n'est pas le bon...
Gut in black-red suit wearing a too mutch weight !!!
Sure hope your divemaster doesn't have herpes 1... 👀
Il faudrait déjà qu ils s allègent...6 kg de plomb chacun gôlés comme des crevettes... à faire un petit exercice d aisance... mouais.
Revoir son lestage!!!!
Völlig sinnlose Übungen!
Ist im Curriculum, muss also gemacht werden.
Never seen someone wear so many weights. Must be PADI
It's in South Africa so we work in Kilograms not pounds and Its SSI not PADI.
Warm water diver. Look at how much Neopren they wear.
Now watch what happens when the bull shark comes up and takes a bite out of both legs... Now what? Can you ascend to the surface as fast as you want or must you level off to avoid the Bends. 👀
Sharks don't go out of their way to attack people. Less than like 110 people are bit per year. Relax on the fear
@@ryank4792 strawman argument. Fail.
@@Zakariah1971 Statistically sharks are very unlikely to attack people, especially divers. It is mostly surfers and people on boards as they look very similar to large fish/seals to sharks. With divers sharks can tell because we move weird, have big round things on top of us, and spray out loud spooky bubbles everywhere. If a shark does attack a diver it is almost certainly because it was being harassed by a diver.
Not a diver. Don’t hate myself that much…
