I suggest you change to a pair of thermoplastic fins. Your pair of jetfins are negatively buoyant, which will waste extra effort when you levitate. Just for reference
This is very helpful, performing the skills in neutral buoyancy is more realistic than performing them on your knees. In case of a real emergency, you won't have time to look for a sandy bottom and get on your knees.
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!
Awsome videos ! The videos looks like scenes from the movie titanic ! The lights in the dark are space ships in inner space! Well done! Have a great day !
WOW...what a trim...thanks for the video. I have done DSMB once, without any experience nor instructions...it worked out well, except that when I raised, the DSMB was lying in the water and did not stay straight (for visibility). Any tips on that or this is the way it is supposed to be? Thanks, really appreciated it.
This is a great video to help prepare new divers for what to expect and what to keep in mind that is important for real diving. Just a side note for people that are new and learning i'll share a story,.... I used that same regulator in the video he is using as a rental from the dive shop (forgot my Scubapro MK25/G250V at home like a dummy) and it died on me 72ft down headed down to 'Theo's Wreck' in the Bahamas and I had to rely on my Scubapro air 2 on my classic plus BCD (which made me switch back to an actual octopus backup after the terrible breathing experience, but that's another story). Now I'm not knocking the regulator or brand, just sharing the story since it came to my mind upon seeing the regulator. Since people here are new and learning it's always important to remember the steps of what to do when something like that happens. If not for the training I received that was very similar to this one, I very well could have been dead. So study this before you take your certification because its nice to have a good visual note of what to do before you practice it yourself in a pool. It's better to go in with some awareness than absolutely none at all when you start off in the pool.
@@elmo319 that looks a closed DSMB, check minutes 1:14, you can clearly see the black border on the lower side. Also, I never saw a open/semi closed dsmb with the hose inflator system
OMG..... Please update this video. Get your Knees off the natural environment which you are killing. Argh.... Knees instructors SO BAD. Skip to 20:48, then start all your skills over, or watch this video instead - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dc_MjCD3nR8.html , this girl is killing it, well done. Teach NB day 1.
Spyros Kollas cool. Unfortunately, my explorer can’t open the link. Are you able to give an email? Or send me one at my email? nicolas.sparton@gmail.com
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! ☺️
