or at the end of the dive taking your first stage off and blowing the water out to clean the cylinder while making the most annoying noise heard in a 5km radius
4:48 Sforza’s Eleventh Law:
“The drastically heightened likelihood of something amazing happening when either you aren’t there to witness it or when only you are there to witness it.”
Or as I like to call it… the “You shoulda’ hung out” effect.
Hey! What about me?!
Number 11: showing “go to the surface” as the “OK” sign
My dad is a pro diver I swear
#11 diving with sharks while on your period
How I will clear my ear and sinus before diving?
Very funny ! Cylinder in BCD 180 degrees the wrong way with regs over the left shoulder would be the other one 🙂 Or mask on forehead. Just go to the Med see them all !
i have a question. what if you have an inch under your eye while your diving
Hey guys I’m a relatively newly certified diver and have a dive coming up in about a month any tips that I should keep in mind ?
Getting an embolism and also forget to equalise the pressure in your mask
Unicorn Dolphins FTW!!
I just got my license about a year ago but haven’t got my gear what should I buy
should you drink water before you enter the water so that your mouth doesn’t get dry half way through the dive?
A person right behind another diver that is getting on the ladder of a boat in any kind of swell. All it takes is the person in front to loose their grip of the ladder and fall back with their 20kg tank crushing your face. As well people locking their arm around the ladder on a pitching boat. Can you say arm or shoulder injury?
My biggest fear with starting to scuba dive is lung injuries. How common are a lung overexpansion and how “easy” is it to get one? Like say if hold my breath for a second and is floating up 10-20 cm?
I would add two to this list: Reversing the regulator and computer so it’s not on the correct side. The biggest one I see is when somebody tells me they have multiple certifications but they have no experience or logged dives to backup the knowledge base.
I bet you only made this to promote the website
Okay, I feel good now, because I adhere to all of these tips.
00:56 “De-fog solution”?! In my day (early 1990s) we used spit…
i often see people with there masks on their forehead, not knowing that this is a sign of distress
Ok my first day of pool training at my local scuba shop my instructor was an ex marine, buff (smaller than me surprisingly) and made me fell a little nervous. But it ended up that he was a nice guy one thing he told me from the beginning is to hold on to your B.C.D hose because it is your life when scuba diving, shortly after telling me this I quickly learned it, but he told me that the man that left the shop shortly after I entered at the beginning of the day had his B.C.D. Hose DUCK TAPED to his hand the entire time they were in the pool because for the life of him he could not remember when ascending and defending that was the first scuba joke I had ever heard and understood. I lie these video thinking who would do that but if there on this list they must have happened thanks for all you do and keep doing it
Top 5 mistake many divers make……Leave your mask on your face, and regulator in your mouth until back on the boat, the majority of drownings occur at the surface!!
Number one is air stress! I always try to convince them I don’t care if the dive is 10 minutes shorter.
I’ve been driving for over 20 years now I’ll tell you all you new guys save yourself the money you never purchase your own tank and if you ever go to Cozumel or anywhere in Mexico to go diving you’re not going to need a wetsuit and you never see anybody use a dive skin
4 Mistakes newbie divers make.
Not knowing your own weight so you end up unable to sink.
Not getting the hang of emptying water from your goggles underwater.
Not getting the hang of removing air from your ears.
Not getting a hangover from the night before so you think clearly.
I’ve been wanting to scuba dive for a while now but I can’t at the minute, I live to far away from the coast. I go to Ireland for a week and I snorkel and love it but it doesn’t have the facilities for scuba diving, should I keep doing the snorkelling and wear flippers or fins and booties to get me used to breathing semi under water for a while or join a club and get out into the water?
How old do you have to be to get certified
I have the basics boots Finns but my snorkel and my goggles are broken what gear should get
Dont be a gear queer on a dive!
Lol nice plug at 1:52
I’m not a diver
Why am I here
I’ve seen a number of new divers forget to turn on their air before jumping in the water. I had a friend who did this on a beach dive. I had to turn his air on for him. Some dive boats will have someone taking names or assigned numbers before a diver jumps in the water and this person may or may not check your tank. I know of one case where a person died because they jumped in the water without their air turned on, they were over-weighted, their BC wasn’t inflated and sank like a rock or like a person with 20 pounds of weights strapped to their waste and a 45 pound steel tank on their back.
Let me tell you a trick about Anti Fog chemical anti-fog irritates my eyes an old school diver helped me out I now take a piece of potato and cut it and then wipe the inside of my mask
The worst mistake ive made:
Dropping my weight belt on my foot…ouch
Not deflating your dry suit enough not to ascend uncontrollably to the surface. Guilty!
Is there a site where I can find a diving school or is just Google my best bet?
