His trim and buoyancy are absolutely perfect 😍

@@lostininnerspace8687 Yep, in totally still water and great vis. Means nothing if you're in a current with a bit of swell, and the boat skipper can't see your floppy wee SMB or those from other buddy pairs.

try lighter fins

In no way an SMB deployment should be taken lightly, get yourself entangled into the line and you can get yourself killed. Snap it to the BCD and if a boat catches it, you will likely get yourself killed. An SMB is not a toy and your comment is both naive and dangerous. An SMB is not a tool for emergency only situations, it is a tool to mark your position and allow your skipper to know where you are. If you frequently boat dive you will likely be asked to deploy it.

With a torch, a horizontal sweeping movement signals a problem. When performing a shut-down you "technically" have a problem, so this is a signal to the team that there is a problem.

@@LeeLeatherbarrow Ooooh, right, this is obvious but it never crossed my mind.

On a real dive we leave it pre-attached. When practicing the deployment we put it together underwater just for the sake of practicing task loading while maintaining buoyancy.

It depends on what you're doing in the water. You might want to be able to use the spool on the dive itself without having to unload it from the SMB.

You use gas the same if u breath out slowly or fast all that matters is that your inhaling slowly and deeply than release

@@ethansanchez2808 I see, thanks! But is it an easier way to keep neutrally buoyant because his body is keeping positive buoyant most of the time instead of changing between negative(release) and positive(inhale)? sorry for my bad english:(

@@zk11127 theres is no way to counter that as long as u are neutral using your bcd u can inhale longer to go up or breath normally to stay neutral

deep breathing isnt optimal from buoyancy perspective. deep breath = more gas in lungs, this change causes greater change in buoyancy than needed. also it causes more stress,,,, the point is to breathe normally like whe you chat with someone on the surface... then... you are most relaxed and in buoyancy is not actively controlled.

Just looks like a standard DIR / GUE twinset / drysuit setup to me.

Save gas in the event of a failure. Saving gas and breathing from your tanks, is the safest option (rather than share with your team/team mate).

@@josefranciscoduarte4083 why is it safer than sharing? Srry, got no gue fundies in my region :((

@@viniciusgueiros1401 if you don't shut the valve linked to the problematic "post/regulator" you will lose all your gas and both you and your team will only have the gas in their tanks. If you address the problem and isolate the problem, you will potentially keep the gas in your tanks and you will be able to breath it, thus you and your team will have all the gas still available. Imagine that you allowed the gas to free flow and did nothing. Imagine that you had a second or third failure from one of your team and no one addressed it... Ups! ;)

@@josefranciscoduarte6830 ooh, i see, thank you :))

Hi Benjamin, Vorster Quay.

First thing that crossed my mind. Skills

tech diver

Would love to help, but don't know... Sorry!

aha i found it using sound hound! its Cool Chances (Original Versión) By H.I.P To B | Re-Uploaded (czcams.com/video/8xoExRp9apI/video.html) amazing song and video! i really want to get into diving

Focus on buoyancy and trim... Nail those two skills and then start adding workload (i.e. do the skills). Before you master buoyancy and trim will be tough to do anything.

@@josefranciscoduarte4083 Randomly coming back to this comment a year and a half later. Im now GUE T1 and C2 certified. What a journey lol

@@KB-gd6fc In only 1.5yrs... holy cr@p well done man!

Marigold heavy duty

Jose Francisco Duarte thanks

Marigold Heavy duty...

Pretty sure... why you don't think it is?

If you are a GUE diver you have access to the standards via the GUE portal therefore, you should go and check there...

Why going the easy way when the hardest is cooler? ahahah Now on the serious side, reels have too many failing points and are just an over kill for using it with an SMB... A spool is fail safe and simple.

@@josefranciscoduarte4083 been using a reel for 25 years,i have never had a problem,ranging form 100 meter + dives in english channel and of course your stuff getting thrown all over the boat

@@outlaw6421 whats wrong with a spool its fail safe to use , less bulky , different agencies different methods i find reels horrible clunky big things

@@josefranciscoduarte4083, unless you drop it 😛

reels have a use... in caves etc. spools are small and compact and perfect for buoys. you do not want to lug a huge reel for something likt this. especialy in an emergency!

Whitey255 heavy duty industrial Marigolds. I feel that I get around 50 dives out of a pair before having to replace - that is the trade off! With Showas you will get several seasons...
