Wild, You scuba and do the van life! Same here. I also rock click, ice climb, dirtbike, motorcycle road race and more. Anyway. Im from Colorado and dive high altitude a lot in the past. Recently been out east working for 2yrs and wandering my way back home for a vacation then back to traveling to the east coast to work at Vortex Springs, FL or Ft. Myers and do some underwater boat maintenance. Estes park lake I am prepping to dive as well as a few others at 12-13k ft in altitude while back home. I will post more taw and edited videos on my channel once around good cell service. Currently near Henderson Mine in Colorado prepping to dive a lake a few miles back in the mountains.

I did exactly one altitude dive on Lake Mead. Because of the location of the marina used and the route required to get back to the hotels, we had to be extra careful, as we would be ascending over 3,000 feet. Dive planning on the surface was simplified thanks to Shearwater automatic altitude compensation. Though apparently your tanks will test at a lower oxygen level. To increase our margin of safety we did are deco on oxygen but did the deco schedule for back gas only, and then added an extra 5 minute safety stop on oxygen. I still kept my oxygen deco bottle in the front seat with me. Next time I will stick to sea level diving, it was like a blast furnace there, and we were in dry suits as the bottom temp was high 50s.

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

That sounds like a wild experience! I hear you on sticking to sea level. For me it was fun just to get out and do something different in a super beautiful place.

@RahulKalvapalle 3 года назад

Your videos are fantastic, engaging and informative! Which is why I'm gonna make a request lol for a video on different kinds of currents and how to deal with them :D That'd be so interesting and useful

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

Great suggestion! I will leave that for Aitor, he has a lot of experience with currents in many different locations around the world. Only thing tho is that he has no chance to record videos at the moment but hopefully soon!

@RahulKalvapalle 2 года назад

@@AzulUnlimited You mean he current-ly isn't able to record a video about currents... :P (I'll show myself out). But yeah that would be fantastic. I know you guys touched on a couple of currents scenarios in your reaction videos, but it would be awesome to have something comprehensive on all the different currents and how to respond. Thanks and keep up the good work!

I just dove Lake Cresent in Eastern WA at 1,100 feet ASL for the first time. What a treat that was. I was shocked how clear the lake water is and low silt levels at 90 feet deep considering how many forest fires and ash are constantly in that area. Absolutely refreshing dive! Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

Lovely! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

@wallybrown9509 2 года назад

I dive at 6,000’ 3-4 times a summer here in Utah. I live at 4,600’, so I got that going for me. Decompressing while driving to higher elevations is very true. Our stratagem is, camping out the night before the dive at 9K feet in the Uintah Mountains on the way to the dive site (Flaming Gorge Dam). Then in the morning head down (20 min away) to the dive site at 6K feet. I’ve gone as deep as 190’ on air for 2-3 minutes (dark and cold), then come back up to rec. depths and play. Good times. I really want to dive L. Tahoe (on the bucket list).

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

Nice! You definitely should go check out the lake. Such a fun place to dive with the best people too.

@BJMonteith 2 года назад

We lived at 3000’. Local diving was at 4500’ (Rocky Mountains). Getting there, you could be over 5500’, so had to be careful on the drive back, depending which way you went.

@timgosling6189 3 года назад

I once arrived in Addis Ababa (7500 ft) and that afternoon was challenged to a squash game; I didn't survive the warm-up. It actually takes the average person about 2 weeks to become fully acclimatised to those sorts of altitudes because the body has to make a whole load of extra red blood cells. As you say most dive computers have an adjustment for altitude, but if you want to go to Titicaca you may want to check the upper limit of adjustment as most only go to 10,000 ft. Obviously the change in atmospheric pressure is greatest at lower altitudes but usually doing your sums as if you are going to dive an extra third of a metre deeper for every thousand feet works pretty well.

@AzulUnlimited 3 года назад

Oh man, you know that feeling then! Yes, you are correct, it takes time to get acclimated. I know most people won't have that time, but thought i'd mention it. One day I'd like to check out Titicaca!

@timgosling6189 3 года назад

@@AzulUnlimited The only Bolivian I've learnt was from the Butch and Sundance film. "Manos arriba, esto es un robo" is pretty hard to get into a conversation, at least without consequences. Having spent a lot of my career at altitude I think I'll be happy with below sea level from now on. Silfra and Scapa are defintely on the list!

@ReefRangerSCUBA 4 месяца назад

Great Content. I know because I dove at 12,500 ft above sea level.

@AdventureTravelandScuba 3 года назад

I live near the Rocky Mountains Calgary Ab 1045m most of my diving is @over 1300m so altitude diving is pretty much norm. Only diving at sea level is when i travel to southern destinations.

@AzulUnlimited 3 года назад

Same for a lot of my friends back in Europe, they dive regularly up in the mountains, lakes and rivers are incredible there, cold water but normally great visibility.

Hey, I have some doubts about my career, could u help me out? I have completed open water course padi, so which path would be good for me to choose after this. And would there be any job opportunities with this certification?

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

Hello Abu. Thanks for your message, the first PADI professional level to be able to work as a diver is the Divemaster course, from your Open Water certification you have a few more steps to climb. - Advance Open Water - Rescue diver. - EFR And then some prerequisites before starting the Divemaster course, like 40 logged dives. My recommendation after your Open Water is to keep diving to get more experience, then go for the next course, Advance Open Water and maybe some specialties like Nitrox diver or Deep diver, take your time to build your skills and get confident before taking care of other divers underwater.

@abunirmal2535 2 года назад

@@AzulUnlimited Thank you for your reply, Actually I have EFR , Enriched Diver and nitrox certificates along with open water. It was a package. And I have a commercial Diver certificate from the institute I studied. So does that do any good to get diving related job?

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

@@abunirmal2535 Absolutely! Those certifications and your experience as a commercial diver will help a lot, but anyway you will need the Divemaster certification, that´s the minimum legal prerequisite to be a dive guide and any serious Dive Center will ask you for that to hire you.

@abunirmal2535 2 года назад

@@AzulUnlimited I like to do jobs related to marine life, since I love marine life and is one of my dreams to help them out. But I don't have enough money to study more diving courses. So could these certificates be enough to get atleast the any one of the job that is related to marine life like cleaning up oceans? And I forgot to tell u I had a Emergency oxygen provider certification of padi, and I am studying a marine course in which we need to go to sea occasionally as a part of the course. (Don't know these things help or even count.)

@TwoWheelsCraft 2 года назад

Is there difference between swimming at sea level and above sea level?

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

like just swimming? if you're used to swimming and training at sea level and then go to altitude, you'll be out of breath quicker!

@TwoWheelsCraft 2 года назад

Does it have effect on swimming beside breathing? I mean floating or buyoncy to the body. Thank you...😀👍

@AzulUnlimited 2 года назад

@@TwoWheelsCraft Buoyancy really depends on what type of water (fresh vs salt) so I'm pretty sure altitude doesn't really play into it.

Hey any of you out there that are experienced altitude divers that have any experience hauling full dive gear on a hiking trailer please reach out to me. I have a dive recovery mission on the books and I need to come up with a reasonable single wheel hiking cart to haul an ALU 80, 19CF pony, drysuit, Hydro Pro BC System regs, a metal detector and inflatable raft. It's a pile of crap but the small mountain lake is not all that high in altitude but good forty five minute hike and no motorized solutions are aloud on the hiking trail. 🤙Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
