Very nice collection, I'm sure we've all been through most of them at one point.
I wish for a diving community where none of this would be considered embarrassing and noticing and recognising rising stress level on a new diver would happen very early on, would be discussed and fixed by his/her team in a psychologically safe environment, before any of these events would even happen :)
It is possible if we all start working on it!
That would be great, I agree.
i'm enjoying your content very much, i've dived for 24 years now, but my girlfriend has for only 3 and she's around 30 dives so i'm showing her some of your videos, however, i've come to realise that some of the old tropes standarized by the average capitalist diving industries runed by marketing people and not divers, 1:50 why the two regulators on the right side? if you have to donate your _octopus,_ even though that it is on a very flashy 90cm/25'' yellow hose, it's gonna come to your buddies wrong side, and it is all gonne be in the way, twisted right there in front of your face, so put that hose on the oposite side of the 1st stage, here comes the other issue: if you need to use it, it is going to be on your wrong side... this is why i started using hogarthian routing, which btw is doable with a single 1st stage and long hose (213cm/83'') donate with the backup 2nd stage neatly hanging from your neck on a collar, this way it solves both issues with regular recreational diving reg setup, it baffles me that put another dollar in & company agencies hasn't adopted some of these methods that tech diving solved many years ago, it looks quite arrogant to think they know everything and not learn from the bests, after all safety is the key here.
another example at 2:45, why snorkel? it's a tangle hazard, i've seen a few times bad dsmb deployments that rip the mask of the diver's face due to the snorkel being attached to it and the line tangled on it, it makes no sense, recreational divers don't carry around a backup mask, but a regulator, so, why? let's be honest with outselves, if the sea is calm, you don't need a snorkel, and if the sea is rough, you're gonna get water in it anyway defeating it's purpose, it's use is not even niche...
I look forward to your videos I am no where near an expert diver even with 200 + dives but I need these reminders each and every dive
Thanks so much Ivory! Glad you find them useful! I don't consider myself an expert diver either, but I love to trying to get there 🤣🤣
This video sure made me smile thinking back to the times when I’ve made a few of these mistakes!Forgetting to switch from snorkel to the reg before descending was the most startling and annoying one. Thankfully it has only happened once!
it's good and funny to remember these incidents..I scored 4/10 but still need to keep reminded :) thanks for this useful video
Thanks Ahmed! That is a great score ! 😁
can you do a video on using your arms like a swimmer. i've seen so many new divers use there arms , they make me nervous because i'm afraid there going to grab my reg hoses.
i put my regs on the wrong side last trip first dive . i just shrug my shoulders and fixed it.
i look for my knee pads to make sure my wetsuit is correct.
i've had a number of boat people turn my tank off after setting up on the dock. they do it because if its a long boat ride and you might have a small leak in your reg. as you mentioned i always take a couple of breaths while looking at the gage prior to getting in the water. ps i;m usually last in the water because of my checks.
i never use a snorkel it has the same feel as the inflator hose and creates drag.
Funny you should ask. I just did a short on that that I will post next week. All those little things happen, you have the right attitude. Thanks for sharing.
Scored 5/10, but still have chance to make 10/10 in the future 🤣😂🤣
Too funny! Don't we all though? 😂😂
Hahaha
#01 haha,
#02 yep,
#03 rip,
#06 bwahaha noon *gags* *drowns* *swaps to regulator under water*
Love the commentary 😄. Along as a switch to reg is made, should be all good, lol. Thanks for the input!
