I just throw my Faber HP 133cf over my shoulder 💪

Would love to see you test it.

O M G that looks AMAZING! Please test it. I currently haul a collapsible wagon that I use to haul my tanks & gear from my car to the charter boat. I dive 50-75 times a year so this could be a game changer for me. The wagon take up a lot of space even when collapsed.

That's a great idea, I personally use a fold up camping trolley to move gear to and from the boat and dive site, that's 2 12lt 300bar steel tanks and all my gear saves my back a whole heap

Yes, test it please

Test it

Need that for my doubles and steel 120's

Id buy one

Ya test it Brian

GM how much is that

Thicker layers will obviously lose more buoyancy, possibly more than the wing can fully compensate. (While my thin layers would lose about 8 lbs, my thickest undergarments would lose 28 lb.) In that case, one could still easily surface with a 22 lb wing, but a slightly larger wing or ditchable weight is advisable for a flat/neutral ascent.

Mares fanboy

Can the bungee be cut to fit if I buy it too long? How do I size it for my fins? Mares doesn't post a size guide.

Is it just me or do these “What are We Wearing” vids feel like Mares commercials??? I know that Mares is the “official” SSI manufacturer but come on…

As always another great video with on point analysis and information. Thanks

Another reason for differences is the electronic components. Different computers will use different capacitors (either different brands or just a different batch from the same brand), that alone would introduce 1-2% difference, multiply that by 20-30 other components. Although some differences will cancel out, overall, it's basically impossible to have 2 different electronic devices match perfectly.

My right wrist is half a degree warmer than my left wrist and my computers often register different depths, especially if I'm on my side or reaching for something. But about decompression, agreed: don't be scared. It happens. The important thing is to know what that new display on your computer means and to know what to do next. ie, don't panic, and don't rush for the surface. I've heard people do. Your computer telling you you're in deco is not by itself an emergency.

Hydro with the boot on?? 8:47

Great video, thanks. P.s. my dry suit doesn’t have rock boots either so I stuff a dish towel in each foot which allows me to hang it on the hanger by the feet just as if it had boots 😉

Had the iX3M2 and it had lots of glitches. Their customer service was awful! I'll likely never buy anything from Ratio again. Now I have a Perdix 2 and it's a much better computer.

There NOT rotomolded . Been using Engel coolers for 20 years. South texas standard cooler , used to buy them at buccies gas stations for $50, kayak world got a hold of them , now the 30qt is $100. Was a deal at 50 , not so much at 100

The way you present physical cards is Awesome!!!! I prefer a plastic card personally but I don’t have one yet. I only have a digital one from PADI. Now my question is can i print a copy of my digital card and laminate it will that suffice as a physical card? (Cost effective) Or do I need to actually buy a physical card if I want one?

How can a deco class be “recreational”? Recreational diving means staying within no deco limits. At recreational depths, I realize you aren’t going to rack up a ton of deco time, but how does a single tank work for gas planning with a safety factor for you and your buddy, should a problem arise?

How do you justify the single tank from a gas planning standpoint? Other than bounce dives, I don’t understand how you can safely conduct single tank Deco dives.

This class definitely seems like something I'd be interested in just to buy that extra 10 minutes of bottom time on those 100-120 ft deep wrecks. My ideal dive is one hour to an hour fifteen and it seems kind of like i get gipped if I go to a site that has something cool to see but I have to surface after 30-45 min. The big trick would be finding a similar certified dive buddy. How does this class stack up against an Advanced nitrox Deco class or intro to tech class as far as cert limitations?

Great tutorial as usual. Glad I found this video even if it's old. I think this is exactly whats happening with my regulator. Ironically, it started shortly I had it serviced. My problem happens only on the octo second stage. The primary second breathes nicely and doesn't leak. What's puzzling is that when I first open the tank valve everything is fine...no leaking. But, when I take the first breath from the octo it shortly thereafter, within 10 secs or so, it starts leaking and won't stop. It only stops when the tank pressure is very low like under 1K PSI. Any thoughts would be helpful.

I like your hat. I am also a ssi pro . Where did you bought it ?

One exception to this video: Bonaire. Do nothing but stay underwater permanently in Bonaire - again with an exception - see the other stuff in the wait to fly window.

Thanks, Brian and Robbie, I felt like I was the only one who had been through this, and I am an instructor with SSI. Two years ago, on of all days, my birthday, I had a very similar situation in an open water class. I had a student panic and tried to bolt to the surface from 35'. I maintained contact with the student to prevent them from bolting, and in the process, my breathing became labored due to their struggle. After getting the student to the surface safely, I noticed breathing had become difficult and began gasping for breaths. What also did not help was that it was a very high pollen season. After getting back to land I was still very labored with breathing and had redness in my spit (not a good sign)..So, not to panic the students, I said it was asthma acting up. Later in the day, I was exhausted, and I could hear gurgling in my lungs in bed that night. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I did was call DAN (Divers Alert Network) in the am, and they asked all the questions from start to finish and said there was no reason to panic. You were only at 35' but to call the doctor when they open and get in for a lung x-ray, EKG etc. After all that the doctors found nothing with all the tests they ran. All I had in my head when the crap hit the fan was STOP. BREATH, THINK, and ACT!. Training pays off when you can keep your head on straight. There is a saying that goes like this: " The Cleanliness of Theory is No Match for the Mess of Reality!". Unless someone has been here, all the theory in the world won't help if you can not apply it. Train, Train, Train! Love your channel, Brian, and keep on keeping on Robbie! Nothing to be ashamed of; you now have the experience to prevent it from happening to someone else.

Great Video Brian, Missed you This Morning. I stopped and Saw your Dad and picked up my Two bday Masks. I was early at 9, Tim was gracious and opened Early for me. Stay Blessed.... Edward

I was in my training when the person in front of me got their airline caught on something while we were about 50 ft down, they started to panic, and nearly pulled their tank off, I was able to unhook their line and calm them down. Stay calm.

The Cascade Tanks is already Chilled. Versus filling from the Compressor.

Christmas 23 I purchased an AL80 online. The Shop put an Inspection Sticker on it. Had it filled at a semi Local shop. I forget how long the Inspection was good for. Mine came with a Convertible Yoke to Din Valve.

Thank you Bryan for the video, my personal favorite dive site is Roatán Honduras

My sentiments exactly. My last trip out of the country was Roatan and the Diving was awesome as well as non-stop. We tried to take a couple of short excursions but for the most part were were stuck on the resort with other tourists mostly from the US, and did not get to experience the culture of Honduras. I am planning to make it a point to include more local culture in future dive trips even if it means fewer overall dives. I don't know when I'll ever go back to some of these destinations so I try to have the most complete experience I can.

Awesome narration video. Great way to reinforce their training and help others understand and learn as well. Absolutely love your comment at the end about instructors getting practice and familiarity with the new skill before teaching it. I wish all instructor trainers would have this philosophy.

My Cuba is my favorite dive trip. I got to see the city of Old Havana and interacted with the locals. I made so many memories that will last a lifetime. The coral reefs were beautiful in Cuba.

Great video, really. Thanks for creating it.

Thanks for the shoutout brother! Great video and looking forward to diving with you again! -Travis & Dan

Is the quarry still closed. Did they get the zebra muscle problem solved?

Glad, you are well, take care. Had to chuckle "People asked if I still had it..." Heart or condition🤣

It's a good thing you didn't swallow at 15ft or continue to prevent your lungs from offgassing. at 55ft there is an absolute pressure of 2.7atm, at 15ft we have 1.5atm. A "normal" maximum amount of air the lungs can hold is about 6L or 360 in^3. So, let's say that at 15feet you had maximum inspiration: P1V1 = P2V2, so (1.5)(360) = (2.7)(V2), meaning V2 = 200 in^3, that is 55.5% of your lung capacity. So in theory (DO NOT DO THIS) if at 55ft you had only filled 55% of your lung capacity, then your lungs would be at 100% capacity if you ascended to 15ft. If you continued to breathhold for 3 more feet it would be 110% of your lung capacity which smells of bursting components. I'm glad you're okay because this is a harsh risk you've undergone here! As your dive instructor was saying, the feeling of not getting enough air could have been caused by a CO2 buildup by not breathing out enough, so your lungs could have been filled to 55% at the start of your ascent, even if it felt like 20%. To summarize, an ascent from 55ft to 15ft multiplies gas volumes by 1.8. He might not have even exhaled on purpose, but during his ascent, his epiglottis was relaxed and therefore allowed for the lungs to forcibly offgas out your mouth once reached 100% volume.. That would make swallowing during the breathheld ascent extremely dangerous (potentially fatal) as during the entire duration of your swallow your lungs cannot offgas at all and your rate of ascent being over 2ft/s means that at a shallow depth as I showed above you could have a 10% increase past your lung capacity in just 1.5s which is about how long a swallow might be. In my mind you are lucky to be alive, because an overexpansion of the lung would move your heart, possibly restricting its passageways or other fatal consequences. Could it be your suit squeeze is what prevented you from filling your lungs to 80% with air, because 80% filled lungs at 55ft ascending to 15ft on a breath hold (due to epiglottis blocking) would be guaranteed by the numbers to present immediate acute possibly fatal symptoms. Either way man I'm really glad you're still here with us - this was a close call and it serves as another reminder just how important considering overexpansion injuries are to divers. We mostly worry about the dissolving of nitrogen in our tissues at depth over time, but overexpansion can equally kill you depending on an emergency happening just a minute into your dive. Stay safe out there and I appreciate the reminder to the diving community how important it is to operate appropriately when we engineer these situations where we are breathing compressed air or other gas underwater at depth. Our natural urges like breathhold and ascend must be oppressed because we are breathing compressed air, and that's why training and practicing your training is so important in these situations - to overwrite our natural instinct which can get us killed for it. There's a lot of risks and your life were awfully exposed to this one. Cheers and happy safe diving in the future to you. PS - This is also why scuba units NEVER give a breath of compressed air to a freediver at depth, because they might hold that air and overexpand on the way up and pass away due to it leaving YOU responsible.

the inner ring ring the is glued to the suit.. the one you fold like i smiley face. does it seal tigth ? you dont use any glue between the suit ring and the first plasting lock ring?

I bought a new diving mask from ScubaPro. I was using your technique in all my masks for years. Now I have scratches on the interior. Some experts told me these cheaply brands they try ceramic coating on the interior and they made a mess! Please clarify me if you can help me pls?

Humm! If you are humming, you can't hold your breath!

I started using this mask (brand Beuchat) few months ago, the only problem I still have is to clear the mask.

most important your safe and sound. Will all learn from this. No shame. Be safe.

To let you guys know I have now made several pool dives and open water dives in the same gear I was in on this video and no panicking I have also taken the stress and rescue course to help out myself in check and can so I could recognize stress and panic and other divers to help me be a better diver

It's so refreshing to hear someone discussing something that went wrong. So often people are embarrassed or ashamed or it hurts their ego or whatever. This way we can all learn. Thank you. This highlights the importance of staying current with skills and refreshing if there's been a gap. I've met someone who said they'd been drysuit certified 10 years. When did they last dive a drysuit? Ten years ago! And you are absolutely right about consolidating after a course and gaining experience before taking another. Then you'll be safer and get more from the more advanced tuition. Anyway, thank you again for sharing.

If you read the accident reports (DAN/BSAC), around 25% of fatalities are from divers holding their breath, and the subsequent pressure injuries. That's one-quarter that break the number one rule of scuba diving.
