Learning tο scuba dive οn thе Fаntаѕtіс Barrier Reef, Australia, back іn thе year 2000. Wе hаd a 1 week training course including 9 dives οn a liveaboard whісh wеnt between different reefs. Record includes раrtѕ οf thе PADI open water certification including navigation, removing mask. Lots οf fish, turtles, corals аnd οthеr іnсrеdіblе underwater life. Fran іѕ wearing pink fins, аnd Neil hаѕ odd blue аnd green fins. Thе last two minutes ѕhοw ѕοmе library footage frοm Cairns Dive Centre.

Wow! All that diversity of living equipment! So cool!
nice record..nice composition!!
Generally it’s just normal air, though it’s filtered and the moisture is reduced before it’s compressed. so 80% Nitrogen, 19% Oxygen and 1% other.
Advanced divers can also specialize in enriched air (Nitrox) which has a higher oxygen content and allows you to dive for a small longer.

Does the tank just contain pure oxygen or…?
Beautifu!
aw i want a go my largest wish is 2 become a marine bioligist wen i grow up xxx
Id like to be an instructor, it must be one of the best jobs in the world.
that depends on a number of factors:
1) how huge your tank is
2) how quickly you breathe (which can be quite instant for beginners)
3) how deep you go
A typical recreational dive is of the order of 30 to 45 minutes.
how long does the gas tank last?
WOW that water looks pristene.
6:32 blue spotted sting ray!!
I got my Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification right before I turned 14…
I first got certified a few months before I turned 12.
When you do Advanced, I recommend doing Enriched Air and dry suit with it. You get a reduced cost with the nitrox.
god damn that looks like fun
i like the water
hi, thanks, is there any excellent dives at 12 metres
Went scuba diving for the first time a couple months ago, now im hooked I’m going for my certification soon!:)
No more than 21 meters in this record.
ffs! i cant wait to be a marine biologist…
If there was more scuba diving and less wars there would be less suffering in the world
hi i am doing my junior course in 1 week, and im just wondering how deep are you in the record???
oh man it’s like my life ambition to go scuba diving,
In fact, the largest risk of the bends if for very advanced divers that dive very deep (like 100m/300ft), and are required to do decompression stops during their ascent to reduce the nitrogen.
This is beyond the PADI Open Water certification whict most divers have.
Yes and no. What you’re describing is what’s called “The Bends” where the nitrogren in your blood stream can turn to bubbles if you don’t ascend correctly. A huge part of the PADI training describes the procedures you should follow that would prevent this happening, e.g. using a dive computer or dive tables to plot your dive.
If you’re doing simple shallow recreational dives like this, and subsequent the (very conservative) rules then the probability of getting the bends are very small indeed.
I’m always frightened to scuba dive because I heard if you come up to quick it can make bubbles in your blood and you die, is that right?
