Wow, just calculated my SAC, yesterday I dived and the instructor could not believe, he just entered reserve when I was at half, It seems I have a SAC of 8.7l/min, I don't know but maybe I have a very natural low consumption since I could free dive up to 2:30 min with no training!
Thanks for the insightful information - will try on my next scuba dive :)
You're welcome! We would be delighted if the video helps you. Thank you for your comment 🙏
Amazing video!! Very useful yet funny! Thanks a lot.
Thank you soooo much 🙏🙏🙏
You omitted an important factor,
Correct weighting!
Perform a buoyancy check before diving, your weighting will vary depending on exposure protection, salt or fresh water.
Oh, thanks for the good point 🙏
Of course, air consumption
depends on the proper selection of weights and you have to consider the conditions of your dive and the gear you are using. All these considerations we have included in the advice about buoyancy - secret number 4. Agree, it's hard to talk about good buoyancy if there are not enough weights or on the contrary, you took too much lead
such a helpful yet hilarious video!
Oh, thank you! Happy you enjoyed our video. We also had fun in creating it ;)
Excellent video. A hug from Brazil ☺️
Thank you! We hug you back 🤗
Wonderful video!!
Thank you very much 🙏 We tried to make it useful 😉
Very funny and interesting film guys! Thank you! Waiting continue!
Thanks! Hope it helps you ;) Looking forward to dive together :)
Wow wonderful good job
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Great video
We tried to make the video informative and interesting. Thanks 🙏
Can I add a tip. If, when diving with a group, you are always below everyone else, you will use more air. Try to maintain the average depth of the group. If you are a heavy user of air, try not to be the diver at the bottom of the group. Having said that, do not leave your buddy. Happy diving!
Thank you for this valuable tip 🙏 That's true and the deeper you dive, the more air you use. It's better to be behind your buddy to save some air 😉
A good video
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved the trim and frog kicks in this video. Not so often do I see that :)
Thank you! We've been practicing for a long time... just for this video (hahaha) 😂😂😂
Practice make it better.
exactly!
Very nice video indeed! I think you should make many, many more of them! 😀 Always good to pick up scuba diving tips and techniques from the experts. Thank you…
Thank you for the nice feedback! We are happy you enjoyed our video. What would be your favourite subject for a video? Maybe we can do it ;)
@@wetfrogdiversdivinginkomod5596 Thank you for asking! Well, I’m interested in any training and equipment buying tips of course. But to be specific, I can always use tips on diving in currents - either horizontal/lateral or vertical. The more I know about those techniques, the better.
@@laminar0886 In fact, we're thinking of a video about diving in the currents. Such dives can be very interesting: drifting, lots of big fish... We have good places for such dives in Komodo. Stay tuned - we are collecting video material for this video ;)
@@laminar0886 Hi! Here it is ;) As promised - a new video about diving in the currents. It took quite a while, but it's finally ready. We hope it will be interesting and usefull for you 😉

oscar to the diver demonstration in the video. :D
Thanks for the comment - of course, it's very nice to read that! The shoot was a lot of fun for us, too 🤣 Currently working on a new video - stay tuned 😉
❤️❤️❤️💯

👍👍👍

I cannot believe the amount of weight the guy has on his belt @ 1:54 with a shorty. Does he use an aluminum tank?
Yes, the tank is aluminium. 6kg, we think he had, not that much
Thanks for your comment 🙏
I got my buddy 100 size tanks and I got 120! Problem solved! 🤓
It's a great solution - it works as well! 😂
Good tips for using air efficiently, BUT the last two video clips underwater show pressure cage dangling below the diver and even hitting coral in the second one. Not good guys!
Oops (((( Stephen, thanks for the comment! Thank you for watching the video to the end and noticing the error! We are very careful not to disturb the coral in any way, and require the same attitude from the divers we dive with. Luckily, we didn't break anything, and just touched the coral with the pressure gauge, but still. We will pay even more attention to that from now on 🙏
@@wetfrogdiversdivinginkomod5596 Cages just make it worse. Get rid of them. Then divers can tuck the gauge into the waist band. Why put extra weight on the gauge, of course it will drag 😆
Hei you've forgotten secret number eleven.......
Hi Guiseppe 👋 Which one do you mean? 😕
I look like a whale 🐳 while diving I finish the 12L tank in 25 minis my group is no longer search for me the knew I dived back to the boat
Thanks for the comment, Ahmed 🙏
We didn't dive with you together, but we have dived with big divers. A good buoyancy skill will probably help you to reduce your air consumption. Also, try breathing calmly and relaxed and moving slowly and smoothly in the water. Safe and interesting dives to you, colleague🙏
Yeah it's why I quit after advanced. I am not unfortunately a woman who uses almost no air. God certainly made it unfair with some people not needing to breathe much
Well, yes, there is some unfairness in it )
But just maybe you should try to use our tips, maybe they will help? And certainly do not give up diving, if you like it, just because you breathe a lot
FFS, will you please stay away of the marine life!
We always dive with responsibility and never damage or harm the marine life. We distance ourselves from the divers who don't
