Great video! I go to local dive shop with a pool and rent a tank at least twice a month to practice during the winter. It is also important that you try out any new gear have gotten in a pool or shallow dive before going for a deep dive.
One dive shop locally let's us sign up for equipment checks . Ive not been able to dive since September when I got ow qualified so I'm going to use this to practice along with getting familiar with my gear.
Took my first discovery dive at 63 years old in Ishigaki Japan in October with my Advance certified wife. We took 2 dives that day. The first dive was almost my last dive because mask did not fit, so I spent 90% of my time clearing the mask. My instructor was always close and did his best to take care of me. On the 2nd dive, the instructor gave me his mask and it made all the difference in the world! Because the 2nd dive was so wonderful, I want to get my Class C license next Spring. My wife was so excited that I was interested in pursuing this as a hobby we can do together! Even though I'm not certified yet, I enjoy watching your videos and taking notes for my future reference. Thank you for sharing your skills! (The next weekend, I bought my 1st piece of equipment, A WELL FITTING MASK)!
This is great to read, and thank you for sharing! Scuba diving has been an amazing activity for me and something I've been growing with over the last years. There are always new things to learn, skills to perfect, places to see, and incredible sights to behold! It's amazing how hard and daunting it can feel when you begin. I almost quit, too. But stick through it, and it gets a lot better after the initial hurdles!
@@MysticalDragon73 I'm just an idiot, so thank you for calling me out. I have no clue what I'm talking about. I'm sure your a certified OPEN WATER diver. I'm sorry.

Great thoughts, and it is also awesome to have access to a dive shop with a nice pool!

What's a class c license? What agency?

@Stephen-ix2ny did i say that? No I was just asking what it was and what agency as I'm most familiar with padi and sdi/tdi.
To my understanding, some people call certifications c-cards. So he was saying he will be taking the course to be a certified open water diver soon.
👍😎🤿🇵🇭! Well said!
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed this one!
@ 👍
Florida Springs are great place to practice all your skills.
Thank you for the suggestion! Haven't been to the springs myself, but I've heard good things!
First comment!
Haha, thank you for the support!
Too much emphasising to listen to. Just pick the words which need to be stressed and stick with those
Fair enough, my style of presentation may not be for everyone. I'm also improving as I go.
