  • Thank you sir, that's exactly what I wanted to see! I'm coming back to the sport and had some questions on the current gear thanks!

  • i got my open water at 11

  • Very informative video. i am BSAC qualified ocean diver, the only thing i would like to add to this video is that when opening the tank valve the pressure gauge should be pointed somewhere safe. I place my gauge against the side of the tank. This is in case the gauge has sustained damage during storage as there is still the full tank pressure fed in there and there could be (a tiny) chance of blowing the gauge glass out, hence point it somewhere safe.

  • @markbarry1977 He didnt get his gauge and put it on the floor so if it bursts the glass doesnt hurt him

  • Actually, go ahead, what you want to do.. Sounds really bad you shouldn't use these words. But really nice video.

  • I thank you for this vid. I got certified a year ago just prior to going to Cancun to do a dive. Haven't gone since and wanted to make sure I refresh as much as possible. Watching this vid made a lot of the training come back to me, and am now confident that I will be able to put the gear on properly and not look like the noob that I actually am. As for the negative comments from the people that appear to know it all, I have checked some of your pages and haven't found a better vid.

  • Actually is use way too much.

  • Thank you. Sometimes I don't dive for a couple of years. I fly from 30 degrees to 80 degrees, spend endless time in lines and then, I have to remember all this stuff. You have made me a safer diver.

  • Im 14 and got my JOW on my 13th :)

  • NEVER over tighten the first stage, only finger tighten it

  • i only dive every week

  • If you would like to see more of the underwater world of koh Tao check out Filmedonkohtao here on you tube

  • Vest wtf

  • is it possoble to fill liquid oxygen into the tank ??

  • @cantsolvesudokus Sure, you can fill the tank with 100% O2. It won't be liquid, of course. And of course, 100% O2 at anything greater than 20 feet is toxic, and you'll shortly begin to seize, lose conciousness, and drown.

    There are easier ways to commit suicide...

  • @OffRoadRN lol thx for answer, good I had no chanche to go diving in the last 3 months...

  • Comment removed

  • I'm 20 years old and up for my PADI Divemaster rating. Here in the good old U.S. of A., I too was taught to hold my gauge facing into my BCD as I turned on the air cylinder. Always a good thing to do.

  • I am an AOW. I now have 176 dives. I got certified when I was 10. And i dive atleast 10 times a month

  • I'm 22, In the UK, Full PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and Specialty Instructor,

    SSI Master Diver & BSAC Dive Leader.

    I'm not great with accents but if you (Guy in Video) are American or even Canadian I've never heard them call it a Vest, It is and always will be a BCD or Stab Jacket.

    Always Hold the Pressure Gauge away from you, pressed against the tank, face down or face down on the floor.

    And long deep breaths with the Regulator in your mouth, not quick breaths like that.

  • I'm not a pro or anything I am a sports diver and i dive in ireland and here in ireland an important thing to remember is when you turn on your cylinder the pressure gauge must not be facing you it must be lifted up and put against your cylinder just a tip.

  • @HarrySG1 Here (Netherlands) I learned we have to put it on the ground, with 1 foot on it (just to keep it in place). But it's for te same reason.

  • I'm 21 and not yet finished with OWD.. But I'ma be dah best =D

  • dont you need to be pushing the button of the primary regulator the time you turn on the air ?

  • no because if u needed to use it in am emergency it wouldn't be all that helpful if u had to find a button

  • i think so

  • thats great i am diving 2morrow and i needed a small revision

    thnx

  • wow thanks alot!
