This instructional video is actually very clear for people who came here for a recap before they go for their next dive. For those who find it difficult to understand the 'sign' languages under water, you could probably search for 'signs for diving' and understand those hand signs first before continuing on the video. Of course, for those who are really good at guessing the signs, you probably could understand it pretty well:)
I'd score him a 1 for his reg recovery... the reg is out of his mouth and behind his shoulders before he's blown a single bubble, which means he's holding his breath and he does so for large parts of the skill. You are supposed to continually blow small bubbles, not hold you breath, blow a few bubbles and then hold your breath again.
@Cy Phvren He draws attention to “blowing bubbles” and, if you then watch all the exercises that come after, he “bubbles” every time his regular is out of his mouth. I have nothing but praise for his instruction and don’t think that I would have qualified with my watching this video.
Very professional and well executed, except for one exercise: "Out of Gas" (at the ~9:57 - 11:20 mark). At the 10:35 mark, the "student's" air supply is out and she has switched to using the "instructor's" back-up reg for air. She then locks grip with her buddy, and raises her BCD control (left) hand as if she is going to use the LP inflator to inflate her BC and rise to the surface. The problem is that if truly out of gas, then the LP inflator is useless, and quite possibly detrimental when she presses the valve open button. Her BC may dump precious gas, making her task to rise to the surface harder. The demo should show the student manually inflating her BC to rise while her buddy keeps ahold of her so they don't drift apart. Thanks for the great video. I appreciate the great refresher!
I went diving for the first time in cozumel and now I want to get certified for open water, I'm fifteen and this has helped me prepare for the lessons.
I don't dive but I found this fascinating. Also, impressed by the patient way you responded to nit picking commentators, who are quick to criticise but not so quick to post their own vid of how they feel it should be done...
Awesome video to give potential new divers an idea of what will be expected of them. This makes me feel much more confident about getting back into diving after being away for 25 or so years. Thanks.
This video really helped me in my open water dive course. I watched this video multiple times months ago and atleast I comfortably made most skills just 3 days ago. I am now a certified open water diver 😊 thank you
So pleased and happy about the impact of the video to your OW certification achievment! Looking forward to hear more from your AOW now 😉 Congratulations!!!
Some people have said it here already, and i understand that yes we tell beginners the most important rule in diving is never hold your breath, but as you get more experience you realize this isnt actually the case. However, speaking as an instructor (PADI MSDT), during the demos of the skills for your brand new open water students, any time that the regulator is out of your mouth under the water, you need to be blowing bubbles. Not holding your breath and blowing intermittent bubbles. Constantly blowing steady non stop stream of bubbles. Im talking about the demonstration portion. What we show to our students. That is what we want them to see. If you did any of that breath holding during a skill on the IE, its an automatic fail. Everything else was good and interesting to see subtle differences. Like with the air sharing skill. Oh. And when you turn off the students gas, get them to watch the spg. And you should be behind them so you can both watch the spg.
It is great decision to join and enjoy the scuba community Topsay19 Please return back with a reply about your overall experience and future diving plans! Have fun 😉
Great video, shows you how to preform many maneuvers with out saying anything just using hand signals just as you would while underwater. I was on a cruise back in April 2019 in Costa Maya and wanted to scuba dive (I have never tried before). we did a sit down and went through many maneuvers before getting in the shallow water. The way this instructor did it was a more hands on exercise and you get that knowledge experiencing the real feeling of diving. By the way my first dive was awesome, dove down to about 45 feet and just experienced the wonders of color and sea life that videos or pictures can never provide!
Thank you so much for your comment Mesgan. Wish you the very best and to have the most pleasant experience. Please return back with some first impressions! ☺️
My first dives were not very good but tried again on my next holiday after viewing this video many times. I then sailed through my OWD course in five dives without any problems. A great video despite some of the ill informed comments.
Spyros Kollas Hi Spyros. Yes, in May 2020 at Gran Canaria but hope to pool practice with a local club before then, down to six metres. I cannot tell you how much I learned from your video as I was miserable when I wasn’t diving well first time out and am very thankful that you took the time to make the video. BTW, I am a very ancient diver aged 84 but luckily fit and active or at least for my age.
The mask water draining part is less frustrating in a pool if the student fails to clear it. But i have seen students panicquing in salt water. Because the salt water hurts in your eyes. So if someone is failing to clear it. Is dealing with the salt burn for longer
The Part that got me thinking was about clearing the water of the mask. I saw a video from Someone taking the first open water five with the instructors. And the student started panicking. Because he couldnt clear the water of the mask. And here in the pool. If you fail to clear it, is not a big deal. But in Salt water... hurts. So the person kept releasing bubbles and wasnt being successful. And the salt pain persist. Uff that gotta be a bad frustrating moment
Hand signals are amazing but he breakers the rules of breathing I got my certification through NAUI and they say to never ever ever hold your breath on scuba
you are not suppossed to hold your breath. I feel the only reason he was is because he was in a pool doing an instructional video. Thats one of the first things I noticed as well.
He doesn't hold his breath! If you check at ua-cam.com/video/ZRVktsXO9FI/v-deo.html he shows that the third thing to do is to remember not to hold your breath and keep exhaling!
No need to. Trust your instructor and be aware by compareing the skills you saw with the ones he/she will teach you. If PADI dive center and instructor you will be more than ok. Enjoy your class and drop us a reply with your experince Thanks for posting🙂
Spyros Kollas I completed the course! It felt like it took forever to do the mask removal and replacement, but overall it was a good experience. Looking forward to more dives.
So great Nicole. Congrats for the completion of the course and thank you so much for sharing your experience Mask removal is a critical skill that builds loads of confidence! Once again congrats, not only to you but also to the instructor that helped you!
@@SpyrosKollas Hi there Spyros kollas. I have been very curious about diving and enjoy underwater Life. I am getting a portable and affortable gear, to start learning the basics and to also join a course. This gear is for short time dives and shallow. But it seems that is fun as well. The Gear is called Dive Portable lungs. I would love to get to know experience divers here in Florida and get certified. I am Naturally from Puerto Rico. And i would love to see shallow reeves there, if any. In perfect, calmed water conditions. And enjoy fresh spring water bodies

If you're not inhaling/intentionally swallowing you're not supposed to be able to swallow water. Some of my students also have problems with water running in their nose, same thing if you aren't inhaling through your nose/you intentionally face your nostrils up to the surface(eg handstand), water won't be able to run into your nose. So the major reason for water getting into your nose is because of your breathing.
@@claudiareyes160 Just make sure you pay attention to your breathing underwater. You can do that by practicing on land since you will be more relaxed. One exercise I would do with my students. I'd ask them to cover nose/mouth(depending what problems they have). Then tell them to inhale >exhale>exhale >inhale >exhale >inhale, etc... the point of the exercise is to make them be conscious of their control of breathing. Then we can do inhale through mouth>exhale through nose>inhale through mouth >exhale through nose, etc... just noticed that your nose will never be used to inhale. Play with it have fun and keep blowing bubbles!
I appreciate your advise so much. I took the scuba class but was not able to complete it because I had trouble with my breathing. I will practice that exercise. Thanks a bunch!!!
why is on all the diver jackets no possebility to sent underwharer sounds for emergency to become attention. in form of metal sticks or others? (im not a diver but this question i ask myself often in the last holliday)
I‘m sorry for being a year late, but: Many divers carry either a shaker (metal tube with ball bearings inside to shake) or a metal rod to knock on the cylinder with... I myself like the aluminium rods, because they can also be used to point at something and they are not as annoying as a shaker. However, if people would dive like in the books (within arms reach of your buddy), they would not need stuff like shakers. For navigation, my buddy also always carry an underwater writing pad, extremely useful!
I just booked mine for next week im so excited and scared at the same time i m in love with the water hope it will work for me so i ll pss all the exams
Oh gosh! I really struggled breathing through my mouth without accidentally breathing through my nose when i didn't have the goggles on! also when my goggles filled up in the sea it was perfectly fine bc cleared them a lot but in the pool, filling them with water myself was so scary idek why lol // thankyou for this video! I can't wait to go out and practice again!!
Καλησπέρα Μιχάλη. Είμαι εκπαιδευτής. Ο λόγος που τα χέρια είναι τεντομένα είναι γιατί: 1. Έτσι συστήνεται να τα έχει ο δύτης κατά τη διάρκεια της ΥΒ περιήγησης, ώστε έχει διαρκή οπτική επαφή με τα όργανά του, 2. Γιατί είναι μια καλή συνήθεια που θα σε βρει προετοιμασμένο για την στιγμή που θα αρχίσει να χρησιμοποιείς φακό με goodman handle, 3. Για να φαίνονται ακόμα πιο καθαρά οι κινήσεις των ασκήσεων (από που ξεκινάει και που ολοκληρώνεται η κίνηση της άσκησης)
Spyros Kollas Ναι το κατάλαβα οτι είσαι εκπαιδευτής, μπερδεύτικα απο την περιγραφή νομιζα ότι κάνεις scuba review. Πολυ ωραίες οι επιδείξεις βέβαια, εγώ έγω διαφωνώ με το μέγεθος των πληροφοριών που απαιτείται ο μαθητής να θυμάται για να εκτελέσει, υποθέτω οταν κανεις open water οι επιδείξεις σου είναι είναι ποιο απλές απ'οτι στο βίντεο. Βέβαια εμεις εδω στην Ταυλάνδη κανουμε το open water σε 3,5 μερες (η και λιγοτερο αν πιεζει ο χρονος εγω διαφωνώ καθετα με τα speed courses)
Μιλώντας για τις επιδείξεις, και γενικά τα σήματα που τους δείχνουμε ώστε να κανουν το την άσκηση. Δηλαδή εγω προτιμώ να κανω την επιδειξη ποιό αργά, παρα να την φουσκώσω με ενα σωρο σινιάλα, στο κατω κατω είμαι σίγούρος οτι πολοί απο τους μαθητές βαριούνται κατα την διαρκεια της επίδειξης. Αν κάνεις την επίδειξη με τον ίδιο τροπο που θα την εκτελέσει ο μαθητής είναι το ίδιο αποτελεσματικό. Τουλαχιστον για τους open waters οχι για divemasters εκει συμφωνώ. Αλλα και πάλι ποιό αργα.
I don't really understand how you can open your mouth underwater to insert the regulator. I would think a massive amount of water would go in your mouth
People drown with water in their lungs not in their mouth. You blow out the small amount of water that enters your mouth. I am sure, i am a diving instructor
I don't mean to be rude but if you are considering diving you should probably take some swimming lessons and get comfortable in the water first. I assume from your comment that you are not
Leopard Boas you have to be realy ignorant in physics and basic bodily functions to not understand that if you do not try to inhale while you have your mouth open underwater no water comes in your lungs.
No, you never take your buddy's secondary regulator. You tell them you're out of air and ask to share air. They then are supposed to give you their spare regulator. The air donor needs to be the one in control at all times. Also, you never ever hold your breath.
You can take your buddys alternate. An example used in the PADI training curriculum is your buddy is not paying attention and you're out of air, he's 5 metres away. You swim over, locate his alt, and signal you're out of air.
This instructional video is actually very clear for people who came here for a recap before they go for their next dive. For those who find it difficult to understand the 'sign' languages under water, you could probably search for 'signs for diving' and understand those hand signs first before continuing on the video. Of course, for those who are really good at guessing the signs, you probably could understand it pretty well:)
This guy is one heck of an instructor. Excellent command of all skills.

I'm digging the fact that hes giving instruction while his BCD is constantly leaking

Take a scuba course and you’ll know what everything means
@@traydog1257 I have figured out the signals. But the dive i have done is shallow. I have no plans to go behond 20 ft lol

Thanks for sharing dude! Start thinking on your next adventure, either through a next class or a dive trip! Best!
Hands down the best I have seen. Thanks.!
Why would you not do this neutrally buoyant? Do you teach your student to do their skills kneeling on the bottom?
Hi Avi and thank you for your comment. I teach my students in both ways. Here is your link ua-cam.com/video/PICBor8V6jk/v-deo.html
Is it just me or does the leaking bcd hose really bother me.
Great video, clear, concise and very professional. Thanks so much.
This is some new type of ASMR I swear
What ASMR is?
@@SpyrosKollas Think of it as pleasing sounds to the ears. It relaxes people and people enjoy listening to the sounds which are labeled "ASMR".
Spyros Kollas when people use giant microphones to eat Matt things in your ears while you suffer
In the last part, how do you manage to stay at the bottom. When I tried it I floated away while my BCD remained sunk.
It looked like he was wearing a weight belt. Maybe your BCD had integrated weight so when you took it off you weren't wearing any weight?
this guy is amazing although breaking the role of breathing
Then he’s not amazing
That’s a VERY important
rule means life and death
@@10skingdomorganics4 I mean, he basically just did all of the pool training in a 26 minute video. Kinda amazing...
As long as you don't ascend or descend holding your breath isn't dangerous
What rule of breathing.
@@shuntao3475 Don't hold your breath during scuba diving. It's like the number 1 rule they teach you when you start with scuba diving...

Πολυ ωραίο βίντεο, γιατί έχεις τεντωμένα τα χέρια ενδιάμεσα στις επιδείξεις?
Καλησπέρα Μιχάλη. Είμαι εκπαιδευτής. Ο λόγος που τα χέρια είναι τεντομένα είναι γιατί:
1. Έτσι συστήνεται να τα έχει ο δύτης κατά τη διάρκεια της ΥΒ περιήγησης, ώστε έχει διαρκή οπτική επαφή με τα όργανά του,
2. Γιατί είναι μια καλή συνήθεια που θα σε βρει προετοιμασμένο για την στιγμή που θα αρχίσει να χρησιμοποιείς φακό με goodman handle,
3. Για να φαίνονται ακόμα πιο καθαρά οι κινήσεις των ασκήσεων (από που ξεκινάει και που ολοκληρώνεται η κίνηση της άσκησης)
Spyros Kollas Ναι το κατάλαβα οτι είσαι εκπαιδευτής, μπερδεύτικα απο την περιγραφή νομιζα ότι κάνεις scuba review. Πολυ ωραίες οι επιδείξεις βέβαια, εγώ έγω διαφωνώ με το μέγεθος των πληροφοριών που απαιτείται ο μαθητής να θυμάται για να εκτελέσει, υποθέτω οταν κανεις open water οι επιδείξεις σου είναι είναι ποιο απλές απ'οτι στο βίντεο. Βέβαια εμεις εδω στην Ταυλάνδη κανουμε το open water σε 3,5 μερες (η και λιγοτερο αν πιεζει ο χρονος εγω διαφωνώ καθετα με τα speed courses)
Διαφωνείς με το μέγεθος των πληροφοριών που παρέχονται στο εν λόγω video ή γενικά για τον όγκο πληροφοριών της εκπαίδευσης Open Water;
Μιλώντας για τις επιδείξεις, και γενικά τα σήματα που τους δείχνουμε ώστε να κανουν το την άσκηση. Δηλαδή εγω προτιμώ να κανω την επιδειξη ποιό αργά, παρα να την φουσκώσω με ενα σωρο σινιάλα, στο κατω κατω είμαι σίγούρος οτι πολοί απο τους μαθητές βαριούνται κατα την διαρκεια της επίδειξης. Αν κάνεις την επίδειξη με τον ίδιο τροπο που θα την εκτελέσει ο μαθητής είναι το ίδιο αποτελεσματικό. Τουλαχιστον για τους open waters οχι για divemasters εκει συμφωνώ. Αλλα και πάλι ποιό αργα.
Snorkel ?
sorry i dont speak diving, so its hard to understand the video.
Exiled Grammar Nazi you will need only three days to your local diving center 😉
thanks, i could sorta understand towards the end of the video.
Why do you watch it then?
Congrats! Very nice!
Geez.. who taught you that giant stride entry
:)
Why can u make video how the perfect giant stride
that's all you have to say? I'll be looking for your name in the Nat Geo Underwater Series...
Why don't you do a video with the perfect giant stride then? Hey?
Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
I don't really understand how you can open your mouth underwater to insert the regulator. I would think a massive amount of water would go in your mouth
John Dykeman you are not going to die if water comes in your mouth.
People drown with water in their lungs not in their mouth. You blow out the small amount of water that enters your mouth. I am sure, i am a diving instructor
I don't mean to be rude but if you are considering diving you should probably take some swimming lessons and get comfortable in the water first. I assume from your comment that you are not
Leopard Boas you have to be realy ignorant in physics and basic bodily functions to not understand that if you do not try to inhale while you have your mouth open underwater no water comes in your lungs.
18:25 is that an ufo?
Absolutely 👌
Spyros Kollas lol
Super
😍
Relax ... Took me years .. on Land !!!
Amazing video, slightly reminds me of a game of charades.....
I’m taking PADI to
AWESOMR!
Well done
thanks a lot
If Val Kilmer was a dive instructor
Kenapa harus di hitung sampe berapa kali
Why am I watching this I’m advanced certified?
Jim Halpert wow. Much impress. So pro!
No, you never take your buddy's secondary regulator. You tell them you're out of air and ask to share air. They then are supposed to give you their spare regulator. The air donor needs to be the one in control at all times. Also, you never ever hold your breath.
You can take your buddys alternate. An example used in the PADI training curriculum is your buddy is not paying attention and you're out of air, he's 5 metres away. You swim over, locate his alt, and signal you're out of air.
Yeah dude...if you think im gonna wait for permission as im beginning to drown...think again!
Buddy, I’m out of air I’m not gonna be polite.

thank you
