I really liked this video; it was clear, concise, and declarative. If you can perfect your skills with this lesson, you will have control over your underwater environment and be confident and safe.
Why are you doing all the manipulation of the compas bezel during the square pattern exercise...every time you turn it you introduces errors 😒 Just select one of the cardinal points of the compas and start swimming and counting fin cycles...when you are ready stop and turn the body until the lubber line aligns with the next cardinal point on the left or right and swim again. Repeat this two more times and you've made a square ⬛ No need to touch the compas bezel!
Thank you for your comment! There are different ways to conduct a square pattern. We prefer that the Student learns to use the bezel to make the turns.
Also learning this just now, but one advantage I can see with doing it like that is that you never need to doubt which direction you need to go right. Always making sure your north is aligned with the bezel's zero point.
Very nice video! Looking forward to giving this a try myself soon instead of just being the "tourist" and following the instructor ;)

Why turning it around ? If u went from point A to point B now double mark means u going back. Unnecessary to rotate the marking
That's true but it is useful to learn the procedure to be ready for the following skills.
The video was awesome. The music choice stinks lol I've watched this several times

Why do we add 180 on the second part on the water and on the surface with remove 180?
Because we want to show that either you add or remove the 180 the result does not change.
