  • DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH UNDERWATER!!!!!!

    That's ONE of the first things that my scuba instructor drilled into my brain, and he's a NAUI, YMCA, PADI and LACOUNTY DIVERS instructor and an ex-Navy Seal, so I DON'T hold my breath underwater!

  • this guy is an idiot for holding his breath

  • @SerialThrilla23 Volume varies with pressure; so the same amount of air will use less space underwater that the amount of space that occupies at sea level. If you take a breath, and hold it, while diving on scuba then ascend, the air in your lungs will expand as the pressure on your body from the water decreases. If you hold your breath, this expanding air has nowhere to go, so it ruptures you lungs. In order to avoid this: always breathe slowly, in a relaxed manner and exhale fully.

  • @tunelblanco why?

  • @TheShaggedelic Not even close... you can even become a PADI Rescue Diver at 12. You must be 18 to become a Divemaster.

  • The perfect example for how you should NOT do this exercise!

  • @thediverguy1 you cant get adv diver till you are 18 dude :)

    you only get junior adv!

  • @SomichOG734 I totally agree with you. He's not doing it wrong, is just bad practice, but a lot of beginners in scuba diving are watching this video, so is better that they learn a more proper way of diving from the beginning. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

  • @tunelblanco Actually, you should be told as a side note that you are taught to exhale steadily with the reg out of your mouth as a safety precaution, so you do it subconsciously on an emergency uncontrolled ascent. If you are holding depth, there is no risk of an over-expansion (which is what the steady exhale is to prevent.) This guy isn't doing it wrong, just in bad practice. I always exhale as well.

  • lol come on im a adv diver and im 13 and i know to blow air when a reg is not in my mouth

  • True
