 So after three years I finally got the clearance from my doctor to go scuba diving again so I'm here at Scott's Guba to see what the next steps are. So I'm here at Scott's Guba. I'm sure you're familiar. I've been here a couple times and Jenny's going to help me with the next steps. Hey guys, how are you? Hey Michelle. Nice to see you. You too. So I got clearance from my doctor today. I'm allowed to go scuba diving again but it's been a couple years since I've been in the water so you're going to have to guide me. What do I do next? So we need to get you back into the water. So since it's been a few years and you don't have a ton of dives under your belt we're going to want to get you into a pool for sure and we can go over the most important knowledge facets while we're in the pool. Just get you comfortable again. Make sure you're good with those skills and then it's up to you. You can kind of end there depending on your comfort level or we can get you in the open water too. Okay that sounds good. I like the open water. All right so now that I'm ready to get back in the water what do you guys recommend for my very first purchase like a commitment purchase? So a commitment purchase above like mass fence snorkel that is something that's very personal that I know you already have. A commitment purchase something large I would say the first thing you should probably get is a dive computer. So I'm sure you remember from class from your open water dives and the dives that you've done that you need a dive computer you must be familiar with it because that's what's going to keep you safe underwater so most all computers do the same basic things but there's a whole range of computers that that we can look at and we can show you but if you're going to buy one piece of equipment for yourself uh that's easy to travel with you just a travel easy watch um having something you know I would say I want something that's multifunctional too yeah we have a couple of those all right cool awesome well I can't wait for you guys to show me all right cool about some computers to kind of see what you like um just to show you the basic overview of them and then we can really narrow it down for you so I'm sure in your class you remember this guy um this is why you're here getting a computer because we don't want to use this anymore while it kept us while it kept us safe nobody wants to do long hand math before they get in the water you know you still have to add it up and like know exactly where you're going and how long not my cup of tea um that moved into um a really sturdy safe computer but it's really basic you know you got one button you got no lights no fancy features but you put it on your wrist you jump in the water and you're good to go okay so definitely keeps you safe but doesn't really do much other than that okay aqualong then wanted to bump up to give you two buttons give you some lights give you some bluetooth so you can actually use their app on the phone um but then they they put it in a console style so it's attached to your reg and it's kind of on a hose for you and you can see your air pressure and like put a compass and stuff in it so that guy has some some features above this guy without getting too crazy um then if you want more watch style um this genesis is rechargeable which is super sweet because then you don't have to fuss with batteries you just plug it in good to go and you can wear it as a watch too you know it has has your alarms in your daily time and all that good stuff um good another option for watch style is the Garmin Descent uh so not only is it a dive computer but it also does all of the fitness and the activities that every other Garmin does so hiking biking horseback riding golfing swimming skiing fitness anything you want things like that okay um but it also does work as a dive computer it is rechargeable as well okay it has a compass and everything too so it eliminates other gear you need so a lot of functions wrapped up into a pretty nice watch stock computer that you can wear every day well that's nice I like that and then um one of our hiring computers the the shear water it's built before it'll do anything you want it to do you're never going to outgrow the shear water technical diving rebreather diving it could be as basic as just a recreational computer as well and this is the one that has the year integration that we were telling you about has a transmitter that screws into your uh first stage they look like that it displays your air on the computer so a cool feature of this computer as well so so that's like pro yeah if you if you want to do cave or tech or deep or rebreather that's the guy you're definitely gonna want to go with okay very cool so what are your thoughts do you have any ideas of like you know when you definitely like well i'm kind of between getting this one here because it'd be all part of my gear and i won't have to worry about it but i don't have this gear yet so i'll probably have to wait and why yeah why buy that when i can just get a watch computer but i definitely don't want um just a watch okay yeah so i think the garment is going to be the best bet for me someday when i grow up though hopefully someday when i get you into the the deep caves let's just give me into the floor first right one step at a time baby steps that's where it all starts so this guy's really cool um i think you're gonna be super happy with it let me this is like the dummy model so let me grab you a real one okay make sure you like it here she is all right right the grand unveiling this is the actual watch which looks just the same as that one um it's got a screen protector on it right now so you have that guy and then in the box you're gonna have all kinds of like a band extender so if you ever tell me you want to go dry suit diving and you need some more width okay you can extend the band out um you're gonna have your charging cord all that other good stuff in there the quick instructions um but honestly once you download the app it's really simple is this it right there right that is yep and it'll bluetooth um all day to your fun okay and bluetooth you can actually you can set it so that your text messages and phone calls come through and it'll vibrate on your wrist oh yeah definitely like that so you can like if you're talking to somebody you can slightly look and see like is that important but it also it has underwater compass it has your depth your time and it's really bright color screen so even if you don't have good visibility when you're diving you'll be able to see it really well all right so i'm super excited you've got the garment i think it's going to be perfect for everything you wanted um next step is to get you in the water so let's get the pool scheduled um and i'll show you how to use it underwater you'll be able to see how it works in the meantime you can place all the functions top side all right awesome thank you guys so much i really appreciate it of course thank you so it's been a couple weeks since i've been to scott scuba and i picked up my new garment watch um so excited about it i totally love it it does everything that i expected it to do and more my favorite application that it does is it tracks me when we're hiking and when i'm horseback riding and i can't wait to use it for what i really bought it for which is diving um pretty soon jenny's going to be able to get me in the pool and we'll do a video on that and i'll be able to try them you watch out if you guys ever need anything don't hesitate to go see josh and jenny they'll be able to walk you through the whole entire process and help you find what you need thanks again for watching i'll see you next time have a great day
