Scuba Diving for Beginners : How to Use Scuba BCD

[sgtfury99]

Idiot you don't tell people on you tube how to use this, when you learn to scuba dive they teach you! dont just go telling people cause then some moron will just jump in the water and try it and press the button that deflates it and drown

[Hallamfoebell]

Yeah how is it a life preserver?

[OPandroids]

every expert village almost always provide wrong info by incompetent amateurs

[missfuckinglovemetal]

i thought it was called a buoyancy control device, not buoyancy compensator device...?

[SparksReef]

@missfuckinglovemetal same thing, different names

[Hallamfoebell]

@missfuckinglovemetal i thought it was buoyancy Compensator not Buoyancy control device

[missfuckinglovemetal]

@Hallamfoebell i guess it doesnt really matter, as long as you know how to use it :P

[Hallamfoebell]

@missfuckinglovemetal it does matter since people will say it will save lifes and it doesnt.

[missfuckinglovemetal]

@Hallamfoebell well neither names imply anything about saving lives soo....??

[Hallamfoebell]

@missfuckinglovemetal but people get it in there heads its a life saver and it isnt. 

[missfuckinglovemetal]

@Hallamfoebell true :/

@pidiver1954

ur a crumb

[tecno57]

Just what the Diving sport needs. Now I can read about more dip-shit people who watch this and think, I am a diver now. Go out diving and we can all read about them when they die under water because they did not know shit. Hey guy, you might think you are helping but you are NOT.

[onthewingshot]

@tecno57 Yea really eh, all the shit hes going on about you can tell just from looking at the damn bcd, and "glorified life preserver?" its a buoyancy compensator, exactly what the name states, and it holds the tank octos regulator. Expertvillage should not have steped into this department.

[raydeen1]

Buoyancy control device

[NPSF3000]

If you don't know what your talking about... DON'T!

'Glorified Life Preserver'? WTF!

[esantiagojr]

I realize that your comment is really meant to be helpful but get a (&^%% life. He was just trying to teach....be part of the solution not part of the problem.....

[huntdude11]

:) :Q

[RainbowDiversPhuQuoc]

Stuff like this only promotes bad diving practices. It clearly states on all scuba equipment that it should not be used unless you are trained by a Scuba Diving Instructor or under the direction of a scuba diving instructor, not by Cole the village dive instructor on You Tube.

[randomguy2447]

@krasteller ya that's what I ment to say I should start reading what I type

[garyjohnson53]

Thanks. BTW do not take the negative comments to seriously. No matter how you say it, someone, usually with lot less experience will try and correct you. You are usually safe in saying. Know your own self and equipment, your mileage will vary and stay safe

[randomguy2447]

For all you watching this who don't dive yet PlEASE don't take your lessons from a expert instructor for your own safety

[zapper1966]

@randomguy2447 Baby you know you can't breathe underwater with my dick in your mouth

[krasteller]

@randomguy2447 what you mean is don't rely on this and think you can dive it might kill you do a course like Padi or SSI open water

[beewebdesignable]

@randomguy2447 dont you mean please do?

[xiuxiablue]

what brand is that BCD

[TheLilPlane]

BCD= buoyancy controller device

[ComandnConquerFreak]

Integrated weight belts are bad. Why? Because if you ever need to dump your weights you have to look for the pouch and take them out, a regular weight belt where u can just pull on it and it comes off is much safer

[mslovablekell2010]

PRESS F5 TO SKIP THE AD

[HJPsullyCat]

is scuba diving kinda.... hard? ill probably gonna start in a couple days now and im reallly exited

[ComandnConquerFreak]

@HJPsullyCat

No not really, as long as you listen to your instructor and keep a cool head you will do great

[ZexRockx]

if you are smoking about a year and quit can you still sukadive?

[MsGogo68]

@ZexRockx you mena sucba dive

[GameRemix]

Very cool i cant wait 2 scuba

[s030141]

I have a problem. When i go snorkelling/scuba diving, i cant dive deep very far because of pressure in my sinuses, i have no problems equalizing pressure in my ears but my sinuses do no equalize at all. Please Help

[HarrySG1]

1st you can swallow your sylavia pinch your nose and blow to equalize dont blow too hard, when you cant equalize at all when lets say at 10m you feel pain go to 7 to 8 m it will help dont dive too fast

[panicatthediscotime]

Stop saying "um" dude!

[mokhammadmisdianto]

This video is nice for beginners to matter you are pursuing PADI or SSI or else..

Great, thanks!

[Devext]

12 for padi, ollous.. CONTROL .. not whatever you said..

and stop color naming the bottons... it varys!

[MrJimbo008]

I love my b.c.

I have a sherwood b.c. with weight integrated.

plenty of pockets for hotdogs

[my3rdeyeleads]

AWESOME!

[petervagt]

Another thing the integrated weight aint as great as the belts cous if you have to make a Emergency Blow out you can not just clip it open and drop your weight and Get up with out grapping for it on the BCD Talking of exspirince

[petervagt]

Boyency Compensator Divce WTF it's BCD = Boyency CONTROL!!! Divice DAMN! Expert my ***

[ZACKALACK8999]

one, you failed to spell buoyancy and device correctly, and the acronym can be used for either. Buoyancy compensating device is probably more common. You should try to have at least some validity to your assertions before making them Pete.

[itsugarfree]

i have a back inflated BCD and it doesn't push my face in to the water at the surface. So I would say you are doing something wrong if that happened to you. (floaty feet perhaps?) Body position under the water while diving is far superior with a back inflate.

[NauiDiver91]

you forgot to mention why back inflation is bad. When waiting at the surface of the water for a boat. It will force you face first into the water. You can lean it farther back to help keep the BCD from doing just that but still you have to use some effort in kicking so you stay up. Now if you're looking for the top of the line BCD buy the Oceanic Out Trigger, watch a video explaining why & how it works as a back inflation and a jacket. OCEANIC OUT-TRIGGER its worth searching! believe me...

[solamisandwich05]

I'm taking a 5month long course on scuba diving next semester and Ive never breathed underwater without a snorkel. It sounded awsome months ago but as it nears Im getting uber anxiety about the whole thing. If anyone has any suggestions to ease my conciense, could someone send me PM about what to expect and such?

[chocolatejunkiexx]

is it possible to learn most of what u need to know about PADI scuba diving by a week, even if you are 13 years old???? plz someone answer me!!

[Direwolf56]

some classes offer to give you full training in as little as a weekend, but I wouldnt reccomend taking that little time to learn. Im 15 and so far have only breathed under a 4 1/2 pool without using a BCD. I don't know much but youd probably want to do everything you can to make sure you have quality and proper training, its fun but you can get yourself killed very easily if you know little or nothing about what your doing. I think kids 12 and under can possibly do it, but im not for sure.

[splinter5196]

Ive been scuba diving with padi for a while now and im hoping to do the instructor course soon so I know that if you do a PADI diving course usually it consists of about 6 confined water dives and unlesss you are diving every day for a week you will not be able to do the course within a week. I would recomend going once a week for the amount of confined water dives you do. Also there are 5 modules to complete.

[darcy031685]

I assume you mean learn all you need in a week. PADI training is a two day course. You learn everything then and then go on two certification dives. It's not hard but at thirteen it's a lot to handle.

[GameCrazy215]

yes I am 13 and just got curtifyed, or got my card thing wich meens i am a member

padi... I did the online course wich was very long like over 100 questions for the 3/5 slides

but welll yeah anyone can be a member as long as you study for the course and 10 and older.

[bendikvalen]

yes you can! my sister took it and she was 12 years old...

she was the youngest person in norway...at that time...good luck!

[Kief002]

yes you can I'm 14 and I'm advanced

[rafarafa72]

i'd take the lessons and go it the conventional way so as not to skip any important factors.

[NerdPorn]

it would be tough to fit it all in on one week for the full open water certification. there is a lot of reading and videos to watch combined with the pool dives and the open water dives. it would be intense. i have doubt that any local dive shop would feel comfortable sending someone through that quick.

You may be able to get the limited "Scuba divers" card. but in my honest opinion that card is setting people up to get hurt. It just doesn't teach enough

[fercstar]

It is very easy to do an Open Water class in under a week. When first learned to dive I did Open Water and Advanced Open Water in the same week.

[LOLlouisJoker]

you have to be 14 to do your PADI as your lungs will be fully developed:)

[Baldiver]

Giving those informations on the net to all is a good way to make people buy and practice scuba diving without any proper training and may cause serious inguries and/or death please dive SAFELY

[pidiver1954]

A BCD is not a glorified life preserver. As a matter of fact it is not approved as a life vest. A much better comparison is to a fish's swim bladder.

[trojanhades]

what he means is it can help u float it wont keep u floating for ever but it helps alot

[captsaja]

@pidiver1954 IT SAVED MY LIFE.!

[svettens]

well done Cole, much better than poor old John
