I know this is an old video but I wanted to take a moment and say thank you, but not only that but to say this video convinced me to bring my business to you! I moved from Florida to Vancouver a few years ago and have recently decided to get some refresher and dry suit courses done up here so I can start diving again. This video has convinced me that you all would be amazing instructors and I will hopefully be talking to you soon! :)
Rather than adding horizontal trim in neutral buoyancy to standard scuba skills, have you considered teaching horizontal trim in neutral buoyancy first and then add the scuba skills? If they never learn to do anything on their knees, they will never want to go to their knees when diving.
This course certainly answer the mystery questioning of PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Speciality Course. Any PADI agency conducting this course in Singapore?
Good video... Despite the affiliation to PADI. yet another example that the certification agency matters not. What matters is the quality of the of instruction.
Why do you have your alternate air source on your left? And why do you not teach the concept of buoyancy and trim to beginners and have them perform skills in trim from the start?
Helo. i was Wondering. I got the PADI Open water sertification. and PADI Advanced Open water sertification. Dose that mean that i got the Adventure sertification aswell?. cause when i read about it.. it some how states that Adventure is a Part of Advanced.. Soo.. Do Adventure Go along with the Advanced open water? or i still have to "take a adventure" kind of sertification?
You need to learn grammar. You should have had 'certification' in inverted commas and no capital letters; to show you are being 'sarcastic' or quoting from 'another source' just like i did there! Spelling skill is irrelevant to the topic.
Why does PADI insist on making you use the shop's equipment instead of your own equipment. After the course, you become an expert at equipment you don't use. Then you get out in the water and start from scratch.,...
PADI doesn't require you to use the shop's equipment. The shop you took your course at might require it, but it's not a PADI requirement. My local dive shop will supply absolutely everything except a swimsuit and towel if the student wants it, but will also allow students who have their own gear to use that as long as it's nothing so arcane that instructors wouldn't be familiar with it or it would be unsafe for beginners to use. Meanwhile, a shop just down the road requires students to provide their own fins, mask, and snorkel, but won't let them use their own BCDs and regulators. They're both PADI shops. PADI doesn't run the shops, and instructors aren't agents of PADI; they're independent agents using PADI course materials, and they agree to follow certain minimum standards but there's a lot of flexibility, too.
RR Videos That's too bad, but I do understand it. I was lucky that my dive store had four instructors at my sessions, and all but one of them was familiar with the i3 system, which is what my BCD has. They had no problem with me using my own BCD, and when they were watching other students doing ascents by raising their inflator hoses they knew that I'd be reaching for my left hip instead. It was all good. Other instructors might insist that all students use standardized gear and follow standardized procedures; then when you get certified you can learn your own gear's individual methods on your own. I can see advantages and disadvantages to both ways of doing it.
The problem is that the course was not for certification, but just a course to improve buoyancy. So what good is dropping $300 to practice buoyancy in a jacket bcd when you own a back inflation bcd Well I switched to a Mares Hybrid BCD (Pro Hybrid Tech) and all my buoyancy issues were solved. I still have complete freedom of motion with my arms, and the 3 dump valves allow great control while making videos.
RR Videos "The problem is that the course was not for certification, but just a course to improve buoyancy." That IS silly. I'd find a different instructor.
Thank you. I had little time to.prep but you saved me preptime and gave me some fresh ideas.
So wonderful to have shop go above and beyond to help everyone dive with style, control, and awareness!
Thanks Emily!

You may produce the best students ever.... Congrats! Never lower your standards!

Great Video and teaching Technics! I shaw watch more videos to improve my teaching skills

Great video. What size hula hoops do you recommend?

If its not on your left then everything will be behind you, also we are thought trim at the start.
Thank you. Good video.
you are excellent
I love your work
I hope became like you
very happy to not see kneeling on the bottom from PADI 👌👌
Best “specialty” you can take. Period.

Well... 1st you need to learn how to spell Certification! Otherwise no adventure for you!
well. go fuck yourself what bout that
Dark Silver If that is the level of your intellectual maturity... perhaps you should not be diving at all... stick to snorkeling.
Adventure is diving is a partial course. You are require to take 3 specialities only instead of the 5 of the advance course.

no music please
Why do you have your octopus on the left side??
First thing from padi that i find to be useful. Maybe it depends on the center/instructor..
the music is super distracting from the important stufff youa re talking about, really frustrating to try to focus and listen and watch.
PADI cringe

Thanks, the local PADI shop in Connecticut insists that you have to use their BCD's
