Thank you so much. You're such a good teacher! I'm going for my first dive ever and taking my test next month in beautiful Perhentian Island in Malaysia :) feeling more confident now as I go through your course. Liked and subscribed, and will definitely recommended to others taking the test too! Cheers
I hoped that you liked this video. It would mean the world to me if you clicked on: Super Thanks under the video and donate a bit if this video really helped you 😌. This way I can keep creating new scuba diving content 🙏
Thank you very much. I’ve done Scuba Diving before in the mid 70s with NAUI. Now I’m back in diving after being inactive for decades. Unfortunately, NAUI isn’t good in keeping records of its old scuba divers. So, instead of taking another NAUI basic diving course, I decided to enrol in the PADI Open Water Diver Course. Well, I’m glad I did. I’ve been overtaken by events in diving in terms of methods and the state-of-the-art technology. One thing I noticed between the NAUI in the past and the PADI in the present is the methodology of teaching the physics of diving. In the NAUI days, we practically have to learn the theoretical aspects of the Archimedes principle, Boyle’s law, etc - and compute required pressures or other parameters through formulas or algebraic manipulations. And not through set simplified tabulations like what PADI is doing now in its teaching methods. Mainly, because it’s now the age of computers and AI.😊 Anyways, I’m enjoying so much your videos and it’s really refreshing to be back to scuba diving again, albeit, in a different learning environment and methods.
That is a high quality Scuba knowledge video, I did my open water course from SDI and this is actually at another level in terms of clarity that contributes to deep understanding.
Big big laugh: "if you put a cruiseship on your toe (don't do that)" 😂 Just love the way you teach! Easy, relaxt, talk smothly and you are funny! A very nice way of equalizing as well, is close your nose and swallow... you can't do it too hard and it is a nice way for adding to your equalizing list :-).
You have very quality content. As I am a new beginner in scuba-diving, these videos are expanding my knowledge and me gain a great mindset. Thank you so much :)
Have you found a knowledge review for chapters 2-5? I only see one for chapter 1, so just curious if I'm overlooking the other chapters or maybe they don't exist.
As someone who's never dived.. I would say equalizing for someone who's never experienced pressure could you say it's like driving through mountains. The pressure you feel and chewing gum, popping like you do in the video, wiggling the jaw and such is kindof the same thing you reckon?
Thank you so much! your video is amazing, you are very clear and fun to watch and I have learned so much in this video. I wanted to know if you think there is available a pdf of the manual to read it before my quiz?I would appreciated it a lot! I will watch all your videos for sure, but also would like to have that book for support. I assume this is complementary to the manual. Thank you very much!
Erg duidelijk super. . het zou leuk zijn wanneer je de training ook in het Nederlands zou geven. Mijn zoon van bijna 10 heeft alle snorkel diploma's en wil doorgaan met open water. Engels is nog een beetje te moeilijk voor hem. ik heb nog de PADI DVD's van mijn open water cursus, maar zijn nogal outdated. (zoals alle PADI trainingen)
maxin out the limit on ur mic lel, get a external recorder mayb like a zoom f 3. And get a lavalier mic. Doesnt have to be a good one. And put it on the center of your chest. That way u can eliminate ur clippin and remove the ‘room noise’ (echo from ur hard surfaces in ur room)
Yeah I understand, I have the same problem when I watch video in feet instead of meters. All depends where we come from. If it helps 1 meter is around 3 feet Have a good day :)
