More wheels the better! You are so right, Mark

@bloodymarvelous4790 4 дня назад

If you use a dive computer during a course, set the end dive time to 10 minutes. This will prevent the dive computer registering 5 dives because you surfaced between exercises.

Go slow. No unnecessary movement. No hand sculling, only use feet for propulsion and steering. Every muscle you use, consumes gas from your tank. Plus, if you slow down, your likely to see more critters!

@TheNext010 4 дня назад

I only regret one thing, buying a set for one cylinder and not going straight to the twin. It is much better to buy a set of 2x7 or 2x8.5 liters.

@user-we4ts7yt7u 4 дня назад

When you buy stainless parts, always go for 316. The most common type is 304 which will rust before you're out of the water 😅. Learned that lesson when I got new nuts for my backplate.

@ABCDiver 4 дня назад

And pray that it wasn't shipped from China, where they stamp whatever label you want on the same material. I made a mistake of buying a knife from there, advertised as 316, blade showed rust spots after my first ocean dive.

Hi Mark, great segment. I wish I new about fitting a mask with a reg or snorkel in the mouth. It really make a difference to the mask fit.

Yeah, that's a handy tip. It was a long time before I learnt to do that

I love to dive with new divers if it's instabuddy situation. They are kind of predictable and humble. Making my dive a lot more relaxing that with unpredictable commando 😅

Hello there. Recently I finished my Sidemount course. There’s a lot to learn yet and I’m still excited with the challenges to come. Could you please explain how to setup a cable to hang my bottles on the boat then donning them in the water ? Cheers ! #askmark

@aliasincognito0 4 дня назад

There should be a bare minimum for buoyancy, trim, and propulsion. Most recreational and even some tech divers lack the stability and watermanship needed for diving. I've seen people boast about their "1000+" dives only to see them flailing their arms, sea horsing, and generally just terrible in the water. I wish I knew that GUE fundamentals was an option when I first started so I didn't need to relearn how to dive after getting my OW.

@dtt3426 4 дня назад

what is seahorsing

@aliasincognito0 4 дня назад

@@dtt3426 Where the diver is head high with their chest out, like how a sea horse moves. You should be flat and horizontal (or parallel to the structure if cave/wreck diving) throughout the dive, especially on ascents.

I am working at dive shop from last five years I have full experience in maintenance and refilling of regulator bcd cylinder and I also do cylinder filling as well as repairing here if you have any vacancy plz Please let me know I am very keen to move from here to United State

@larlario289 День назад

industry judges a diver based on certification regardless of skill. it pushes divers to hurry and go for higher certification instead of honing their skills. u can have a new diver go thru ow and advanced with just 10 dives total and still be considered as more qualified than an ow diver regularly diving in varying conditions for 10 years.

Hello there. Below what water temperature would you consider to be a cold water diving? I see that some regulators are better than others for cold water. Where do you cross the line? I'm from Portugal. The water is definitely not warm (15ºC-20ºC), but it is not freezing... #askmark

@dive_with_matt 4 дня назад

Great question! Generally regulators that are tested for ‘cold water’ they class as I believe 10°c or less from memory

My cold water level is at 14 degrees. That's the temperature I'm starting to become aware of in a way: huh this is starting to get cold. At 9 degrees I'm going in the mode off: ok this is cold and won't last too long here. Let's go up a bit.

@NateMeyer-ub2fx 3 дня назад

On the last comment, I was advised to only share my Open Water cert (as opposed to my higher certs) with dive operators at resorts, cruises, etc., to avoid having to babysit.

@Ginwood 2 дня назад

@@NateMeyer-ub2fx Certainly agree. I have found babysitting to happen in larger groups where you have a guide up front and DM as tail end Charlie, I’ve been asked “hang around the middle bit” despite being a paying customer like the rest of the group. I try and mitigate this now by diving in very small groups I.e. dive guide plus 1 or 2 divers. Where it’s a larger group I down play my certs where possible, showing just enough qualification to suit the dive

If you'll use it all day and for tracking workouts, go with the Garmin. It's smartwatch capabilities + workout tracking can't be beat (plus battery life for what it's tracking), and the dive computer is fantastic.
