I have a problem. When i go snorkelling/scuba diving, i cant dive deep very far because of difficulty in my sinuses, i have no problems equalizing difficulty in my ears but my sinuses do no equalize at all. Please Help
Stop saying “um” dude!
one, you failed to spell buoyancy and device correctly, and the acronym can be used for either. Buoyancy compensating device is probably more ordinary. You should try to have at least some validity to your assertions before making them Pete.
This record is nice for beginners to matter you are pursuing PADI or SSI or else..
Fantastic, thanks!
12 for padi, ollous.. CONTROL .. not whatever you said..
and stop color naming the bottons… it varys!
I like my b.c.
I have a sherwood b.c. with weight integrated.
plenty of pockets for hotdogs
AWESOME!
Another thing the integrated weight aint as fantastic 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
Boyency Compensator Divce WTF it’s BCD = Boyency CONTROL!!! Divice DAMN! Expert my ***
It is very simple 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.
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 incorrect if that happened to you. (floaty feet perhaps?) Body position under the water while diving is far superior with a back fill with air.
you forgot to mention why back inflation is terrible. When waiting at the surface of the water for a boat. It will force you face first into the water. You can lean it out of 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 record explaining why & how it works as a back inflation and a jacket. OCEANIC OUT-TRIGGER its worth searching! believe me…
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 total thing. If anyone has any suggestions to ease my conciense, could someone send me PM about what to expect and such?
you have to be 14 to do your PADI as your lungs will be fully developed:)
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 owing to that instant.
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 lecture enough
i’d take the lessons and go it the conventional way so as not to skip any vital factors.
yes you can I’m 14 and I’m advanced
yes you can! my sister took it and she was 12 years ancient…
she was the youngest self in norway…at that time…excellent luck!
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.
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.
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.
some classes offer to give you full training in as small as a weekend, but I wouldnt reccomend taking that small 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 feature and proper training, its fun but you can get yourself killed very easily if you know small or nothing about what your doing. I reckon kids 12 and under can possibly do it, but im not for sure.
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 ancient???? plz someone answer me!!
Giving those informations on the net to all is a excellent way to make people buy and practice scuba diving without any proper training and may cause serious inguries and/or death please dive SAFELY
