Play 'hide and seek'. While on a line, simply swim away from the line and watch as everyone comes to try to find you. It's especially fun when there's a current. I'm joking, DO NOT do this.
Why go away from the line? I just go all the way down on the line to the bottom, and back up again, (repeat if necessary)this way, you dont have to worry about getting lost....
1) Play rock, paper, scissors. 2) Look at some of the photos/video you took on the dive 3) See just how badly the dive boat needs new bottom paint 4) Make sure you've properly hidden the treasure you found :P
As a cave diver, usually in fresh water, we frequently have loooong deco. When we drop our deco gas, usually 10-20 ft, we sometimes leave bananas, or chocolate bars, both can be eaten underwater!! (small bites) Also, a magazine can be read underwater, carefully turn the pages, and enjoy! tic/tac/toe can be played on a slate.
This guy is better than me at diving.....and I dont even know his skill level.... I'm only saying that because any time I hear a Brit talk, their accent just sounds reformed/refined, and I just assume it carries over to every day skills..... i bet he can do a safety stop with such elegance..... me? I'm like a giant tuna bobber in the water.....
I face away from the group, go a little out then take a wizz. I dive in tropical weather so it’s easy to just whip it out. Nothing beats peeing under 5m of pressure. 😁
Once on a safety stop I was floating there and a big school of fish with the sun reflecting off of them surrounded me. It was like I was in a giant swarm of sparks, floating in space. It was very Stanley Kubrick like
Was doing a shark dive in Fiji and we all started doing the hand gestures for that baby shark song. Pretty sure people were laughing through their regs
Especially on a wall dive, if possible, my favorite safety stops are to just end the dive swimming around the reef at 15-20' so whenever the time has elapsed and we're done looking we can just ascend. More than one buddy didn't realize this is what we did and wanted to do an additional safety stop :P Unfortunately, more than one buddy has also just skipped the safety stop so I was sitting at 15# playing the "watch their fins wondering why they didn't catch on and come back down" game.
Esspecially when it's murkey af down here on a cloudy day, at the end of a scallop dive, staring into the darkness..😅 Makes the sunny days with good vis so much better though!
I do things like practice my back-kick by finning in reverse circles around my buddy. Or playing "who can log the most horizontal line" on the computer comp. Not sure about your DSMB suggestion, launching from 6m is gonna give a pretty limp sausage.
I’m usually keeping one hand below my face to stop smbs with bottles on them from knocking me out as other divers launch them below me...watch for lines & turn cameras/ lights off etc..I don’t think it’s a lot of time & so I don’t need entertainment or distractions....it’s actually an important safety stop & it’s the depth that it’s hardest to keep level.
I usually playback some videos and images I've taken while diving! Taking into account that I have an extra charged battery on the boat ready for next dive.
I like to test my buddy's abilities on a safety stop. Mashing their inflator button is a particular favorite! If you shoot up to the surface, you loose!
Sea weed, dude if I'd been taking a drink my cat would be wearing it right now!! Next dive I go on I think I'm going to attempt a pole dance on the anchor line. Should be sexy AF. 🙄
i will never understand people who cant even do nothing for 3m... just breath relax.. think about thing.. just swim around. i usually like to use the remaining air just doing nothing or being upside down until i reach 25%...
I'm not sure about being horizontal is better for decompression. If your upside down your feet dont decompress quicker than you head. Off gassing is a transference of gasses between your bloodstream and the lungs. This happens at chest level and this is where you would measure the surrounding pressure at, not at your head or feet. True that the gasses are stored all over your body in the soft tissues but It's through the lungs that the nitrogen got into your body and it's the way you want it to come out too. If it comes out any other way then you have the bends. I'm no doctor so if someone actually knows then please say
DAN did a good video that in part covered this. I’d suggest taking some time to study up on decompression theory, you’ll better understand why horizontal is better. Besides, at least I think it fascinating and not a bad thing to understand as a diver. Here’s a synopsis though. Yes the exchange occurs between body and atmosphere at the lungs but the exchange of gas from tissues to blood occurs at the tissue to blood interface. The blood then takes it to the lungs. The rate of exchange is caused by the difference in pressure which can be significant if you are upright at that depth. This all then ties in to bubble formation which is why we ascend slowly. You can also get into M values, tissue compartments, and Henry’s law. Also they found that gentle kicking and/or arm motion helps off gassing too. Basically a slight increase in blood flow. Key is gentle though. Descending horizontal is also better. Staying horizontal puts less overall stress on your body. Of course the deeper you are the less the pressure differences over the length of the average body. I hope that helps... I think this stuff is fun!
You can laugh your socks off at your fellow divers who haven't been trained in proper decompression diving whilst you're still on the bottom with about 15 minutes of compulsory knowing full well you'd rather use your correctly deployed dsmb than join the complete interlopers on the anchor line.

It’s best on a night dive in 20ft vis, easier to hide
@@airborne1ranger24 But then you're not hiding...
@@GameVilleofficialpage And on the boat ride out, you can hide everyone's lights so they can't cheat.
1) Play rock, paper, scissors.
2) Look at some of the photos/video you took on the dive
3) See just how badly the dive boat needs new bottom paint
4) Make sure you've properly hidden the treasure you found :P
Or if you wanna make it really hard, play rock paper scissors lizard spock
Rock papir is Borring then you have 40 mins :p

Magnetic chess or checkers board?
@@jameson1239 Absolutely.
@@MAGAisacult I hear some tech divers are making special use of the new "haptic feedback" features 😂
Best thing to do is deco roulette. Everybody shoots to the surface and the one that gets deco sickness or a popped lung, eardrum etc. loses 😂💪
I'm a fan of competitive yoga poses
Impress everybody with your mad underwater-backflip skills
Drysuit gang wants to know your location.
Didn't know the signals for sea weed, I'll use that 😂😂😂
Dude... You forgot bubble circles
looks like we might have to make a part two!
Bubble rings are the best way to wait in a safety stop
Always always have a bubble ring competition.

I am surprised no one mentioned relieving their bladder. Definitely a must for me.

A 3 minute safety stop is good, but a 4 minute safety stop is better. But a slow accent is much more important than a safety stop
So many people just shoot to the surface after the safety stop. The last 5m should be the slowest.
@@4wdivesafari this is true, I don't think they teach that too well if at all
Once on a safety stop I was floating there and a big school of fish with the sun reflecting off of them surrounded me. It was like I was in a giant swarm of sparks, floating in space. It was very Stanley Kubrick like
This is the video that I always needed but didn’t realize I needed.
there is a dive computer called divesoft that has the game of ‘snake’ from the old Nokia phones for you to play during safety stops lol
My old VR-3 has games too and it is waaaay older than Freedom (Divesoft is name of the company computer is called Freedom) :D
blow bubble rings
Was doing a shark dive in Fiji and we all started doing the hand gestures for that baby shark song. Pretty sure people were laughing through their regs
I recall during my OWD, my dive master actually brought us to see the reef during our safety stop
Especially on a wall dive, if possible, my favorite safety stops are to just end the dive swimming around the reef at 15-20' so whenever the time has elapsed and we're done looking we can just ascend.

Me and my dive buddy usually play hangman on my slate.
Yeah I do tic tac toe on wetnotes
Great idea. Is there a scuba version of hangman though, instead of gallows it could be bends , entanglement, out of air, lung expansion injury...
You just have to stay at that depth. Keep exploring! No need to stop and hover
Make a stone tower - pile up rocks and look who can buld the biggest one ;-) (only works on lake or shoredives - where you have the necessary stones)
*Fully inflate my BC*
I was always too busy on guard, looking around for a GWS to show up, diving in Tasmania 😬
Esspecially when it's murkey af down here on a cloudy day, at the end of a scallop dive, staring into the darkness..😅 Makes the sunny days with good vis so much better though!
Play charades, your buddy has to guess the movie/book and you can discuss it on the surface.
I do things like practice my back-kick by finning in reverse circles around my buddy. Or playing "who can log the most horizontal line" on the computer comp. Not sure about your DSMB suggestion, launching from 6m is gonna give a pretty limp sausage.
3 min power nap. Of course you need a full face mask. But you could try it with your normal regulator
You won't be able to keep your buoyancy up though...
1.5 minute power bursts between u and your buddy one keeps bouncy control the other power naps
Have you managed to pull one of these off? I would think you body wouldn't like it and keep you awake
Superb videos. It’s all about the fun and safety 😎👌
I’m usually keeping one hand below my face to stop smbs with bottles on them from knocking me out as other divers launch them below me...watch for lines & turn cameras/ lights off etc..I don’t think it’s a lot of time & so I don’t need entertainment or distractions....it’s actually an important safety stop & it’s the depth that it’s hardest to keep level.
Sneak up to my buddy and slowly put my regulator under them and hit the purge. Actually I have a deck of cards that are waterproof. Go Fish!
Most of the Time im Laying upside down Try to get a very comfortable position or on the back making bubblerings or something like that
Shooting bubble rings through the smb line or at your buddy
We play rock paper scissors!
Stand up comedy using a dive slate.
Karate fight complete with zero G spins etc. Probably not ideal but was fun!
I usually playback some videos and images I've taken while diving! Taking into account that I have an extra charged battery on the boat ready for next dive.
I read different subjects on plastic pages which I carry.
I like to test my buddy's abilities on a safety stop.
Mashing their inflator button is a particular favorite!
If you shoot up to the surface, you loose!
Rock paper scissor..
Yes!!! finally!
#ShaunHarassmentAtItsBestMark :D
Now that's a good hashtag 👍
🤣🤣🤣
If there is a line I like to flip up side down and practice blowing bubble rings
Practice finning techniques.
My boss told me they'd do battleship on their slates during deco stops
This is the question I always asked myself...
0:18 actually i love doing safety stops 😀
Sea weed, dude if I'd been taking a drink my cat would be wearing it right now!!
Next dive I go on I think I'm going to attempt a pole dance on the anchor line. Should be sexy AF. 🙄
🤣🤣🤣
I just do flips and stuff
You can watch this video in one safety stop
Practice your oral and hand air manufacturing skills? How did this not make the list?
make the video tutorial please😁🙏
i will never understand people who cant even do nothing for 3m... just breath relax.. think about thing.. just swim around. i usually like to use the remaining air just doing nothing or being upside down until i reach 25%...
ring bubbles
*Use the bathroom*
How about be aware of your surroundings in shark and killer whale waters

Isn't that obvious? Play a snake game or solitaire
What about peeing in a wet suit?
That is done best upsidedown
@@DavidV328 🤣🤣🤣
Especially if it's rental
Practice bubble rings,
Ummmm, pee. Come on, I’m not the only one!
