Learning to scuba dive is literally a life changing event, giving you the "superpower" to breathe underwater! There are so many different types of diving in both fresh and salt water. Different gear and equipment. Different techniques and philosophies. Our goal is to deliver educational and entertaining content relating to "Everything Scuba".
We will cover topics from the basics on how to take your first steps towards becoming a diver, to advancing your skills and gaining experience in the safest manner possible. How to enter the world of professional diving and working as an instructor or divemaster. Interviews with dive industry leaders giving you insight into the workings of the dive industry, and many other topics too numerous to cover here!
Josh and Lyell, our two instructors and co-hosts, want to help you find your passion!
So if you love to Scuba Dive, Dive Into Everything Scuba!
Hy Lyell thanks for this contribution. It would be nice to deepen correlation between diet and DCS risks. Of course vegetarian and vegan diet are helpful to keep your fit and healthy. I will do some research and tell you if I find out something :-)
Honestly I had to learn the hard way how to properly weight myself, I got certified in a tropical area so we didn't use wetsuits and I had 8 lbs then. I went to colder water with a 7 mm and thought 12 lbs would be enough. I knew I was light cause I released all the air in my BCD and still couldn't sink so I used the free dive technique to go down head first to 30 ft... I'm pretty athletic so coming back to the 15 ft safety stop wasn't impossible but it was still pretty hard. That's how I learned that I needed more weight for 7 mm suits😂
Glad it worked out in the end for you. In the UK, there are no charges for healthcare, unless you choose to go private for certain procedures - private healthcare is normally just routine procedures or aftercare, and to my knowledge, does not cover any emergency medicine. Health Insurance isn't much of a thing here in the UK as it is in the US for obvious reasons, and is primarily bought by people who travel abroad as it is often a requirement to enter foreign countries. That being said, you can still get it - to cover private healthcare costs, or to pay out when ill or to cover costs arising out of illness.
Not a pleasant topic but glad to have this knowledge. I involuntarily coughed when inhaling water on a AS drill in the pool and it really made me think about a similar thing happening at depth, including while vomiting. Always best to not have to problem solve in the moment!
Thank you so much for this video. I have started diving again recently and get seasick/motion sick pretty easily. This video is particularly useful for me!
This is just what I have been looking for. Thank You. I do tons of snorkeling during scallop season. When things are fantastic I use a hookah system. Typically we are working 4 to 7 foot of water. This is when we want to stay at 2.5' to 5.5' under the surface and just move and pick up our dinner.
just ordered and received the shark-tank pony bottle mount however it didint come with the two c clamp straps to hold the tank tried to call them using the phon number on the sheet of paper in the box and its not a working number ????? 6/1/2024
after the safety stop, even though I tried to slowly adjusting my breath to allow me ascend slowly.. still my computer warned me most of the time that I ascend too fast....
Totally agree with you and let’s say that it’s also wrong to ascend rapidly to the surface from the safety stop. In the last 5 m there is a 0.5 ATM difference so, go slowly! 😊
What do you think about this? 5:30am-6:30am at gym weight lifting and HIIT training daily Noon - 5 doing two dives in Bonaire Repeating daily or most days. I’m on the island for 5 weeks.
If I’m 15 and I have the paid jr dive license and I want to solo dive in a Florida spring that like 10 meters would that be fine it’s not in a cave just going down to 30ft
I am now in menopause and feel tired all the time. Plus I stopped physical training. I am a bit nervous to go diving with friends in a few weeks. I remember how heavy the gear was.
Great points. Always good to hear these things again & again over the years. Diving for 52 years. How things have changed and some never do. I do agree with conserving energy/gas but sometimes it is just fun to explore with your partner and actually kick those fins other than a frog kick. I find it frustrating to surface with 800 PSI. My recreational diving trips often include new buddies every dive. Many seem to wander off on their own from the group. Enjoyed this article on safety stops. Good divers always try to be better.
