We all know the golden rules of scuba diving, don’t hold your breath don’t go down too deep don’t come up too fast and don’t fart in your drysuit but there are some pretty serious other rules, some written, some unwritten but worth keeping to if you don’t want to be that diver.
So without further adieu, I’m Mark from Simply Scuba and these are 5 of the worst things you can do while scuba diving

Sounds like Marks got a cold in this video....
Plz pin my coment
People who make whole paragraphs with hand signals lol
Mark does that a lot....in emails!
Going into deco because you were more focused on your GoPro than your depth gauge.
Oooo yeah!!!
A bit of deco never hurt anyone.
oh my people in the scuba team i'm with particularly hate GoPro divers xD we even have a permanent joke about it. Those GoPro idiots xD Even my father is one of them, and i noticed he tends to drag it on the bottom too -_-
3:31 800 pound dive computer holding me down? Now that is some heavy equipment.
It's a steam punk dive computer!
I couldn't figure out if you meant pounds as in weight or pounds as in the British money?
But it definitely is funnier as pounds as in weight
@@barrettt8661 both
Photographers who think it's OK to hover over something interesting forever while others might want to see it too. You're not the only one on this dive, dude!
I once had a dive buddy whom is the first time meeting him, he ditched me on buddy checks, he swims on his own, surface when he likes it, and commented that I need to keep up.
The last point you mentionned, ive lived it. Some random divers with full expensive stuff who jumped into the water waiting for us on a shipwreck dive. There were so heavy with all their stuff that they gave up the dive because there were about to die from exhaust ! At least it was a beautiful dive without them !
I have never even chomped the mouthpiece of a regulator, yet when I do take diving lessons I will consider some of your points as my First Lessons! Thanks
there's no need to ...WAIT...to do a dive lesson, you can learn skills/good dive etiquette at anytime !
#3 Not paying attention: I seem to dive exclusively with people like this. Drives me nuts.
That must suck Robert!
It's annoying for sure.
@@robertthompson5701 What did you say?
Cant blame them entirely, theres an old saying “you’re only as good as the company you keep” Or my favourite” you cant fly like an eagle when you’re surrounded by turkeys”
'Divers me nuts you mean'..
"800 pound dive computer", I was like what? they don't weigh that much!!!!! Then my brain kicked in.
Same!
Your dive buddy as British wasn't he?
1. I have been told it's okay to pick up a shark tooth from the water floor. (I never try to remove a shark tooth while still in a sharks mouth.) The dive instructors also encourage us to remove trash, especially if it is plastic. 2. I have been video recording my dives, rather than taking pictures. I can save an image from the video recording if I want, and flashing some marine life isn't a smart idea. 3. I have apologized more than once for accidentally fin kicking fellow divers. This is why most of the dive instructors/dive masters make sure I'm one of the first two in the water. They usually tell me to get away from the water entry point before every one else goes in. 4. When I do ocean/gulf of Mexico dives, I'm usually diving with one of the dive shop instructors. They know my dive limits and keep me out diving trouble. 5. My diving video camera weighs maybe a pound, and I can secure it using a d-ring, before surfacing.
Yeah ... NONE of that is responsible. Know YOUR OWN dive limits... - and follow the rules you set for yourself!!!. Just doing Gulf of Mexico dives does not a good diver make!
I loss a cellphone (with water protector) while going from 4 meters to the surface... I went to fast that the rope it broke through the thinner section... For my bad luck, the total depth of that area was like 8-10m but visibility was very low (like 1 m distance). Im going to get a submarine and I will secure it with a d-ring you mention.
I know some dry suits can be customized with a piss valve. The question is, why haven't they come up with the fart valve yet?!
million dollar idea!
Meister Kaos Be careful! We don’t want any fish kills!
Dude, drysuits have the exhaust valve near the shoulder to let out air from the suit.
The piss valve still sounds disgusting.. Ordered my drysuit without one 😇
THEY HAVE!!! It's on your left shoulder!!!
You showed it a lot this video: Bad trim. Not saying it's always bad to be vertical, but those kicks come really close to the corals. That and divers just being uneasy and flailing arms everywhere etc
Good point. Descending in a vertical position is sometimes useful, especially when you aren't using a descent line. Finning upward slightly helps control your descent rate, giving you more time to equalize. But once you get 10 feet off the bottom, it's best to switch to horizontal mode.
Trying to reach in, and pull out a Maury eel to photograph, or pet.
Had to end a dive early once because one of the divers in the party tried this.
I do, however, feel confident he will never attempt that again.
A Maury eel? Did the diver turn out to be the father? ;)
I have seen instructors going down super fast trying to get an integrated weight that was released accidentally.....
On my first dive for my certification course someone tried to signal to the instructor that they had 2100 PSI but messed it up so the instructors thought they had 1100 PSI at about 30 feet and so the instructor had us all come back up and everyone was wondering why and so when she asked, why did we all come up so early the instructor says you told me you had 1,100 psi she then procedes to then show the instructor her gauges and she has 2100 everyone's pretty annoyed
That is the instructors fault. He should have taught..."If I show you my pressure gauge then I want to SEE YOUR pressure gauge!" Seeing is believing in my instructors book!!!
Yinz guys have wonderful sounding laughs- (SW PA American here) lol
Focusing too much on setting up your camera and forgeting about depth until you reach 35m and you get narcosis . Yep that happened to me today my first 30m dive and my first narcosis experience
adam elmahdali any stories about the narcosis event?
Why would you bring a camera in your first 30m dive instead of focusing on your dive tasks and why did your instructor / buddy allowed that to happen?
ian menendez We were 4 of us my diving instructor and 3 others , before the dive i gave my camera to my buddy who had many deep dives before . But during the dive he got confused with the cameras settings so he gave it to me to set it up for him ( bad decision)
Now your buddy owes you a beer :D
Andrei Haragus no need for the beer, he got him drunk on nitrogen 😄
Other divers with gopro sticks that push their cameras in the wildlife's face....for everything they see...scare it off and I am left with no good footage.
That's right...only think about yourself on dives!
Being barged into when photographing sealife! I have been scraped and bruised by fellow divers who aren't too good at maneuvering underwater.
Well my buoyancy is almost perfect but still i held to rocks somtimes... I have nothing else against strong currents...
Do not panic! My dive instructor would sometimes come up and knock your mask off. Mind you this was in a pool but it taught you how to deal with a situation while staying calm.
2:53 I got the same advice from a pro pro diver who still is wary about his limits
Overuse tank bangers.
Love the red sea footage
I didn't expect "Don't annoy a fish" to be on the list.
Well you need to go back to your Open Water Course basics and relearn "not to interact with marine life" 101 lesson!!!
@@gbsailing9436 I'm not a diver. Lol
@@dynelol Oh ok, well we ALL have our problems...🤣
the one missing , ,, the front crawl arm actions at 10m
Sand blowing is really annoying
That does suck!
What's really annoying is that a newbie diver and other is super close to the bottom and does not want to be further up. And the spray sand and mud and makes the visibility less greater
Well said .....
My number one rule of diving is do not die. Anyone violating this rule will not be allowed to dive again.
legend has it that that one diver frog kicking in split fins still has not moved an inch!
That is NO LEGEND!!! Take my word for it!!!
Well if there is a strong current you can always hold on a rock with two fingers and relax a bit , obviously what you are saying is right but i think there is a small exception
well about the "holding onto a rock" i don't necessarily agree. Sometimes you have to grab onto something if there is current for example. Obviously, i always check first that it's only rock i'm grabbing onto and not a coral or any living thing...seagrass is the only living thing i would have no problem grabbing if all else fails. About the rest, i agree. I saw once a scuba instructor bring up a huge empty Pinna Nobilis...like are you crazy? It's known to be protected.
And a funny story about ditched gear. When this summer i went diving in Croatia with a team, we had an other team before us that my instructor dove with, and also in our team we had intro and absolute beginner divers too...this was their exam basically (we went with a zodiac so the team was divided into experienced and absolute beginner). And the beginners, and even in the team before us, a lot of people accidentally lost their weights when trying to get back to the zodiac. It fell out of their weight pockets or took the weight belt off upside down and it slid off. And there was a particular place where a lot was lost, so one of our dives at that place was lik: so here we are going to swim around this reef, and then those who have enough air will stay and look for weights. It was under the zodiac so if we wanted we could have just surfaced. It was funny tho, everyone ( some 14is people) just comping through the thick seagrass and searching with their light in the hope of finding weights xD
I dive hollis, so I have no limits 😆
Don’t pee in your wetsuit, it ruins the neoprene and it makes you smelly after (and if using rental super gross). Wipe it out if you have to go (two piece open cell free diving suits are the best).
The most annoying thing are scuba divers that stay in vertical position rather than horizontal. They do not realize how long their fins are and they end up by moving all the sand, hitting rocks and reefs, kicking scuba divers’ head, and not keeping buoyancy by solely adjusting air inside bcd.
Never give Mark a boltsnap
I am very uneducated, but I will be scuba diving next year in Puerto Rico. My question is how long are you normally underwater while scuba diving?
I think around 30-50 minutes...if everything goes well
It will depend on your depth. As a beginner you can expect to do 20-30 minute dives which get longer in shallow water. My advice is not to be fixated on how long you can stay down on a particular dive. But more about enjoying the experience, including: What did I learn today?, Did I do everything right?, Did I return with 50BAR of air? How often did I look for: My Buddy?, My air gauge?, My depth gauge?
If your answers are only ONCE during the dive, then You have failed that dive and you need to re-evaluate why you are there. You are there to LEARN HOW TO DIVE, Once you have done that, THEN you can enjoy the underwater world!
Divers not taking sea sick 🤢 medication when they were advised to well before the boat trip and proceed to throw up 🤮 right in the middle of a beautiful lunch 🥗 buffet on board ...
Seriously though, if they're going to throw up during the trip, they should at least have the decency to throw up during the dive. That way I can get some good pictures of the fish being attracted to the vomit.
Last trip I went on I took two before bed the night before, two when I woke up early that morning, and one more when the boat left around 8am. It was choppy enough I still yarked several times, including once during my safety stop which was definitely a first for me. At least I wasn't the only one, most of us had a least a slight green tinge until we were back on dry land.
I subscribed and post notifications on and maybe you should do shout out and make a video on how to clear your snorkler and goggles plz.
You will know all about that by the time you finish confined water dive 1. Also that's when you will start buying 1 beer for your instructor each time you say goggles instead of mask ;)
Andrei Haragus I think he might me a little bit to young for a beer 😄
hi guys.. (anyone) here from Little Rock, Arkansas in the USA. I recently finished my Open Water Diver course ..yay! (I have a whopping 5 dives so far) but Im now wondering what course to prepare to take next. Im considering Nitrox and Navigation, but...what do you guys thing?.. Are those over my 'ignorant/non-experienced head?.. Thx for your videos! They are awesome and funny..sometimes! :)
Don't even think about the next course before you have done at least 50+ dives, can control your buoyancy, have good trim and have had an 'Oops, I won't do that again' moment.
@@jakeburns7331 I second that! Although it can't hurt to do the advanced and advanced plus course as you build up supplemental dives as you go...experience+training = competence!
I know flailing your arms around is bad form but I typically do that when I know there are other divers faces near my fins. I dont want to kick their masks off so I micro maneuver with my arms.
That's the first time I heard flailing described as "micro maneuvering". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻
Just BE somewhere else!!!
Dont fart in your dry suit 😂
How about bad body position
"Don't fart in your drysuit" is this serious or a joke? Can it do anything than smell horrific when you get out of your drysuit?
Do not not breath. If you do not not breath you die the end
th-cam.com/video/PkFyGNjaQ8k/w-d-xo.html ;)
Those are the people you have to give the old Mike Nelson special; punch them in the stomach to make them breathe!
Not not ing something is a double negative and means your doing it !😝
And also dont get eatn by sharks
what if the animals harass me??
Taking a nap is not recommended either 😴
Hello, can we have a short talk?
Stay away from trigger fish
Flailing your arms. Irritating, Annoying, Tiring, Useless, Dangerous.
and funny
A great clip and really useful advice,
..but your video footage is
#1 not great (colour, composition and movement)
#2 not related to what you're saying.
Do you not have any footage that can match what you're talking about?
It's hard not to fart though
Don’t touch the sharks
6)Go to the toilet.
Forget to breathe
Caugh
The there is a whole ocean comment isn't really true. If you stopped to look at something more then likely someone else wants to see it as well. My issue is with people with cameras that think they are more important then others. So they will just swim into you, to get a picture.
Oblivious to everything else around you (whilst fiddling with your own camera). BAM! Ripped by a current. #facepalm
Turning off other's air
Looking at your Meter while turning your air on. If it Pops out you shot you face with 230 bar.
Nonsens. Nothing is ever going to pop out of an spg, except the little rubber stopper, which is supposed to, but is usually on the back of your spg.
Just take your spg off the hose and open your valve.
HP hoses have a tiny hole, only used for measuring pressure, not for letting big amounts of gas through.
It's high pressure, but little volume.
Divers that fin while standing straight up instead of belly down. Using your regulator while on the surface, that's what your snorkel is for. Inflating your BC off your tank instead of orally. Divers that dive in a manner that completely disregards the safety of the divers around them, think spinning in circles while descending butt first.
What is wrong with inflating BC off your tank?
Ya know the "dont touch anything" protocol seems pretty ridiculous to me.... I GET it and all considering spearfishing is a perfectly legit SCUBA activity. I mean really, what do you thinks causes a bigger rip in the oceans fabric: Me cuddling with a big grouper and taking a couple pics or mean blowing it away with a big spear gun and letting it bleed all over the reef?
I think it has to do with the fact that a lot of people who want to touch the fish end up harassing them and forcing them to "cuddle" instead of letting the animal come to them naturally.
The "not touching" is about doing damage and the fact that seemingly harmless cuddlies can and will turn into ugly biters and stingers when cornered and scared.
There are plenty anecdotes about "harmless" nursesharkes biting bodyparts (off).
Actually: cuddling a grouper wears OFF the grouper's outer layer of anti-microbibial covering which keeps them safe. It's like their own immune system, but on the outside! So DON'T cuddle and pat FISH!!!
Nothing wrong with swimming off on your own. Need to get as far away as possible from that thrashing ball of arms and legs depicted in your video.
Dive with a snorkel attached to your mask.
Golden rule number one: Never dive alone.
Amended: never dive alone Unless you are trained and equipped accordingly and know what you're doing.
Hans Kuijsten I disagree! Never dive alone. No amount of training can keep accidents from happening.
Even professional divers have their tenders on the surface keeping them safe.
Let's agree to disagree. No problem.
Hans Kuijsten No, I can’t agree to disagree. Encouraging people to dive alone is reckless and irresponsible. If you’re comfortable diving alone, then fine. But please don’t tell other people it’s ok. Best of luck!
@@Ampersandrascott Hold on a minute, I'm not encouraging anybody to do anything. I'm simply stating that it's not ok to dive alone UNLESS properly trained and equipped.
And that's obviously what we have a different opinion about.
id rather eat chalk than listen to this guys voice
That weird inflection at the end of every sentence because he thinks that's how narrators should talk. So grating.
I'm so tired of "don't touch stuff" crap, are you paid to say it? One boat grounding destroys millions of times more stuff than your grubby hands lol.
What about lobster hunters and spear fisher? LOLOLOLOL
Your parents must have been twins for you to say that...
