Awesome David and thank you for this Super Thanks Donation! It helps a lot and soon more video's!! If anyone else wants to donate, then please click on the heart with the dollar sign below the video... Any amount will be awesome... If anyone does just 1 or 2 dollars, I can do so much more for the channel... Anyway even a Like or Subscribe is amazing, but a small Super Thanks Donation can get me to buy better Mics and Camera's to create more content that would be Awesome! Thank you 😌🙏
Having not dived for almost 4 years but going back in on 3 days time I really needed to find a video to help remind me about it all and this is exactly what I was looking for. Many, many thanks for an excellent, easy to follow and understand clear video. Brilliantly simple! Top job! 👍

3 years since my first dive in Mexico, now it's time to repeat the experience in Thailand. This video brought back a lot of what I learned the first time. Ty!
I don’t have the opportunity to dive very frequently, but every time I go on a trip I come back to this video for the in-depth and easy to follow refresher. Would give it a like every time if I could!

Excellent presentation! just don't forget to constantly monitor your SPG gauge while on your dive and you should call the dive at 500 psi so you will have plenty of air for a 3 min. 15' safety stop. And of course, to wash your gear completely with fresh water ( warm if possible ) after your done. Iv'e been diving since 1969 and have been a NAUI/PADI and L.A County Instructor and I want to say that you did a great refresher presentation!
Thanks!! And good tips! It would help a lot if you leave a Super Thanks Donation by clicking on it under the video. You don't have to ofc, but it can help me make new content 🙏😌
Thankyou, completed my open water last year and doing my first dive since qualifying. This bought all my training back to me. No longer nervous. Thankyou
good basic refresher in general, no excess b.s. no matter what type of equipment one dives a pool refresher is a very good idea, my equipment is alot different but the same idea still applies and Ive been diving since 1978.

I really appreciate this video! I've watched it twice this week as part of my prep for my scuba refresher course. I haven't been able to dive since August 2020, for a number of reasons, after only having 3 dives beyond my OW certification, and I've been so nervous that I've forgotten everything prior to the refresher (and could panic or embarrass myself). This video has really helped me practice skills mentally and calmed my anxiety about the refresher. I'm excited now to get back in the water today and then into the Dead Sea in a few weeks on holiday!

This video was worth more than I paid for my refresher course! I just took the refresher yesterday and came away feeling like I wasted my time and money. It was a super fast overview and really didn't cover half of what's in this video. Great job!
Thanks Jake!! Glad helped! It is still important to always go with an certified divemaster or instructor, but at least these video can add on if needed :) Please share the video with other and have a great day!
NO No Jake, no slagging another operators on public comment, that you take care of with the dive shop you trained with. Keep in mind a refresher course is meant to realign you with the skills you are supposed to know as a certified diver not a retraining course. Clearly you did not get what you expected from your refresher course and that could only happen if you did not know what it was you were going to receive in exchange for your money. Unfortunately that is on you friend. If you like this mans videos just say GOOD JOB and keep the other stuff between you and your training facility that is the professional and right way to do it.
@@omegadivingacademy7937 I don't see the harm in contrasting this video's content with a personal experience of my own. It isn't like I'm even naming the operator in question. Discussion and comparison of training in an open forum should not be censored IMO. My point is that this video provided a superior overview of openwater skills, many of which were not mentioned during my "refresher."
@@jakeallgeier4503 Again I say you never knew what you were paying for or you would have been happy with what you received. No censorship here just go back there and if you are not happy tell them and give them the chance to make you a happy customer.

Grumbling about them if you feel you were short changed sort the issue out with them until you are happy not here. To boot you totally ignored the point I made, you paid for something without knowing the content, that is on you. Plus the comparison to this video is apples and pears comparison since it is focused on how to do the skills not retraining. These skills should have been ingrained in you from your first course and as previously stated a refresher is the chance to REFRESH your knowledge with the training experts present which is probably what you paid for. Furthermore read down the comments page and you will see no one else grumbling just appreciating the guys work.

Don’t forget this at disassembly: after you washed the equipment with fresh water turn your bcd upside down and let all of the remaining water out by pushing the deflate button and gently squeezing the bcd. Otherwise you will be wondering about all the overweight at the airport 😂 Great video and summary!

Thats where I did my Advanced Open Wider course :D I then understood why that pool looked so familiar haha. Keep up the great work and spread the fun of diving. Thank you Marcel!
I have not gone out diving for 8 months now, and you video helped me keep on track. I saw and read about the IDC course from your website, and also we just talked on Facebook chat. I'll do my best to pursue my dream, which is becoming a diver instructor. Thank you so much for your videos.

Thank you very much for making this video! My only suggestion / critique would be to turn the volume down on the subscribe and like button pop-ups. It's deafening under headphones while the sound is at max listening to your voice.
In my experience you should wet the BC before tightening up the tank strap. Water will make the strap looser so tighten up the strap before getting in the water. I have seen people have their tanks come loose in the water because it wasn't pre wet and tighten up before getting into the water.
Thank you very much for this informative video...it's just what I need right now. As I will have my first dive nd exam in the open water tomorrow !!wish me luck

@@MarcelVanDenBerg1 got it! It really does help so much! I watch it every time it's been a several months since my last dive. I always feel much more comfortable getting back into the water after watching this! Thank you!!
Great refresher: one note though, I think it's way less awkward if each person breathes and orally inflates their own thing. Like you can take turns: one buddy tells the other what to do and supervises them, then swap

On the surface ,removing the weight belt you want to lean forward ( use regulator or snorkel ) look down to orientate the buckle to the strap , if you lay on your back the weights will pull away from you

actually some dive captains require 500psi at surface left so you should end at 750psi to have plenty of time and air.

Don’t forget this at disassembly: after you washed the equipment with fresh water turn your bcd upside down and let all of the remaining water out by pushing the deflate button and gently squeezing the bcd. Otherwise you will be wondering about all the overweight at the airport 😂
Great video and summary!
Yes you are right and thanks :)

Funny: After searching around I was happy to find this amazing and clear refresher video. Then after clicking your profile I find out you're the diving instructor at Sairee Cottage in Koh Tao. Thats where I did my Advanced Open Wider course :D I then understood why that pool looked so familiar haha. Keep up the great work and spread the fun of diving. Thank you Marcel!
Good to hear! Thanks
I have not gone out diving for 8 months now, and you video helped me keep on track. I saw and read about the IDC course from your website, and also we just talked on Facebook chat. I'll do my best to pursue my dream, which is becoming a diver instructor. Thank you so much for your videos.
No problem and hopefully I can teach you one day! :)
@@MarcelVanDenBerg1 I’m looking forward to it. I always watch your scuba diving videos(repeatedly, almost every)that you teach many techniques and skills. Very useful for me. Hopefully, one day I will become your student and your college in the future. 🤙🏼😃

this is a great refresher. I'm going back to do Scuba again soon I hope, so I needed this to get back into the swing of it. I really enjoyed the video and also really enjoyed actually learning these in person. Btw the free flowing part was so weird to me I was like wow I cant believe its this easy to breath still lol.
Glad you liked it! Yes I thought the same the fist time I tried out the free flowing regulator, so easy to breathe from it :)

If after a few sweeps you can't find you primary regulator, just use your back up. You can switch once your buddy retrieves you primary regulator
Absolutely!

Thank you very much for making this video! My only suggestion / critique would be to turn the volume down on the subscribe and like button pop-ups. It's deafening under headphones while the sound is at max listening to your voice.
Yes I am aware, I can't change that anymore on this video, but will adjust it on next video's :)
In my experience you should wet the BC before tightening up the tank strap. Water will make the strap looser so tighten up the strap before getting in the water. I have seen people have their tanks come loose in the water because it wasn't pre wet and tighten up before getting into the water.
Great advice!
perfect lesson before holiday for try scuba/refreshment
Thanks!!!
Wonderful to watch.👍💌👍
Glad you enjoyed it
this was so helpful!
Nice! I am glad you enjoyed it!

@@MarcelVanDenBerg1 got it! It really does help so much! I watch it every time it's been a several months since my last dive. I always feel much more comfortable getting back into the water after watching this! Thank you!!
Great refresher: one note though, I think it's way less awkward if each person breathes and orally inflates their own thing. Like you can take turns: one buddy tells the other what to do and supervises them, then swap
Sure! You can also do that!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you!

Good vid.
Thanks!!!!
True. If your gear is from Scubapro
:)
On the surface ,removing the weight belt you want to lean forward ( use regulator or snorkel ) look down to orientate the buckle to the strap , if you lay on your back the weights will pull away from you
That is also a great way of performing this skill!
Thanks
Thank you sooo much Martin!!! ❤️🙏 - It really helps and new video's are on the way! :)

Yeah I know, I wish I can reedit it. Next videos won't have this!
You probably give your Buddy also "the F" when your tank suddenly starts swimming away :D
