I like the video, and that is how I teach it, too. I never understood why it was done another way. In case of a real emergency, the diver who learned it this way will always have air. The person who does make bubbles and can’t recover will panic, make an emergency ascent, and not remember at this moment that he has an octopus. I asked this question to all advanced students who did their basic training elsewhere, and they even told me this.

Switching my computer to my right hand. Didn't even think about this. Although I can still see it, it does take more effort and I can eliminate that just by swapping the arm it is on. Thanks for the tip. I was taught 1 handed air signaling in OW, probably because my instructor is also a tech diver. He had a lot of pet peeves, but they seem legit. We dove in a shared grotto, it wasn't until I saw some of the other instructors from other shops until I really understood his reasoning and appreciated the way he taught us. From my 4 OW dives, my pet peeves are: - Excessive noise makers, clickers, bangers, etc. Especially in an instructional environment. If you have to use those, you do not have your students attention nor respect (my opinion). - The word "flippers" LOL. - Unprepped - foggy masks. I know it can happen to anyone, but the over abundance of unprepped masks was staggering. It doesn't take taking a scuba course to learn how to prep a mask. - Cheapskates - I am 100000% all for getting a good deal, budgeting your money around. Especially on initial investments. BUT - buying the cheapest crap you can find because it is cheap - then knocking on the guys with higher quality gear as if they are elitists, bougie, or whatever, is just stupid and a pet peeve. I heard one guy say "I'm going home and ordering everything from Temu and Ali-Express." Sadly, he was dead serious.

Very useful!

This is how I learned as well. I was also taught an alternative to the sweep by the leg, to sweeping by your ear. top hose should be primary. I have longer arms, so that is my preferred method in my VERY short diving career :). Both my son and I like training - whether it is in cycling, with firearms, etc. - we plan to treat scuba exactly the same. We have plenty of places to dive here in FL - fresh and saltwater. But we do enjoy just training and practicing as well, it is fun but also helps to avoid the accident train when it comes rolling through.

My son and I just got certified 2 weeks ago. He bought a Turn TX because he wanted a watch to wear every day, I bought the Peregrine TX. He was allowed to use his on his last 2 certification dives. Seeing that in action, I was immediately sold. Is it more than we really need as brand new OW divers, probably. But I couldn't be happier and I've not eve gotten mine wet yet. I'm sure it will be worth every penny.

Your explanations are really good. Lots of valuable information on this channel!

What keeps it from shifting around while you are diving ?

These were some surprisingly great observations!

So I am a raid instructor; have taught this as well. Draw backs I’ve found is that this reg recovery couldn’t be performed if your buddy were using the alternate air source which is most often when it would be deployed, the second is that adding an extra step can (NOT ALWAYS) induce more anxiety in a diver that is panicking. I’ve found best practice is to teach them BOTH ways to ensure they are as confident in all situations

TY

After diving with some questionable rental gear in Thailand i decided to buy my own, it feels completely different using brand new gear and especially your own - never again rentals

Good catch - I'm hoping (not hopping) to pick up my Peregrine TI this week, I chose the Perigine as I don't need all the bells and whistles of the Perdix, but my vision isn't as good as it used to be so the Screen Size is great, plus the air intergration is a bonus.

Had a similar issue with the Teric, lower left button. Just ran hot tap water run over for a few minutes and it then worked perfectly. This Teric has about 1200 dives on it.

youre right, not many colour grading tutorials for underwater footage. Even less so for GoPro cameras. This helped me alot more than learning how to change the colour of a car.... What settings are you using on your gopro? Lights, filters?

Some shops won't even fill unless you got the green and yellow sticker on them

Shearwater customer service is absolutely amazing…that is how I judge one company over another. They are simply the best in the market…period.

Ah clickbait. So annoying...

PADI all the way to Advanced - then RAID for Deep 40 - methodologies an absolute game-changer

Great setup . I heard your interview Side punt pros . Where would i be able to obtain a buckle like you have for sale ? Looking forward to hearing about you result diving your new rig.

I always have my second regulator attached with a necklace around my neck, but it’s easy to pull it out of the necklace if ever needed, my second regulator is not an octopus, but a complete regulator with first stage.. One more thing, it’s easy to do thing in warm clear tropical waters, but try the same thing’s in Cold 🥶 murky and dark water with a thick dry suit, and 7 mm three finger gloves 🧤 😄

Americans should be forced to use Bar and the metric system by law 😂

About blowing the valve Before attaching the Regulator.. I have experienced small bugs sitting in the small bore in the Tank valve, and even experienced a crushed bug in my first stage filter! So I always give a little blow with my valve, before attaching the first stage to the Tank valve, and I don’t give a shit if somebody finds that annoying! 🤔 I don’t like squashed Bugs or dirt, or water, or anything else in my first stage.. About drying the cap, I agree, just dry it with a towel, no need for blowing!

Love my Teric w/ transmitter. Perfect for me.

thanks a lot, it's much more detailed than some tutorials I've seen and tells me what I should look out for in the scopes.

My first dive computer was an Aqualung i330r integrated with the pressure gauge,.. the computer crashed on me after just 18 dives (I’m AOW certified, so hadn’t taken it further than around 95ft below). Aqualung repaired it but it wiped out the last 3 dives I did. I bought my wife a Shearwater Peregrine after she decided to become my lifelong Scuba-buddy and finished her OW certification, and after seeing how well hers worked and all the features, I bought another Shearwater Peregrine for myself. I’m looking forward to using it for the first time in our upcoming dives in Cozumel in a couple of weeks. Keeping my Aqualung as my backup. My wife loves hers and hopefully I won’t ever have to buy another dive computer,… thanks for sharing your experience with Shearwater, I have even more confidence now that buying these two Shearwater Peregrines was a very good investment.

thank u my good sir. i have no idea how i passed tec course. but the way u explain it help clear my brain fog.

Lucky YOU ARE mine was 3 years old ( second time i was sending back for repairs ) and it cost me USD 400 TO GET IT FIXED at Narked@90 in UK and Shearwater Research NEARLY said it was NORMAL . 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Scuba Pro will also send replacements instead of fix. I tech dive and use a G2 and HUD.

Sounds like a great product from a good company. I just don't want to spend the money for the features I might not ever use. I have three Cressi computers One of which suffered a malfunction. It was out of warranty and the company fixed it for free with about a 30 day turn around. About $20 in shipping.

I bought the descent mk2 i. I love it but wish I would have purchased the shearwater after issues with the receiving of transmitter signals. Garmin did take care of it but that didn’t help while I was on a month long trip to Indonesia.

Shearwater computers are amazing, glad they sent a replacement. I find the video title slightly misleading though, or is it just clickbait?

Their customer is awesome, and next level with regards HUDs on the JJ!

Garmin does this too. I scratched my screen and called them to see what options I had to get the screen replaced. They took a deposit and sent me a new one so I could keep diving. When I got the new one I sent the scratched one back and they refunded my deposit. My out of pocket cost was $172 with tax. A little more than the $47 but shoot I’ll take a new computer every couple years for that.

Love my Perdix AI with transmitter. Will never use anything other than Shearwater products.

Garmin has done this for me

Shit clickbait title.

It's an interesting method, I've used the method making an extra loop at the end of the line for many years but it doesn't always hold when you jump off a boat. Gonna try this sometime!

Buy a shearwater, it is the industry standard. Every class you take from here on out the instructor will be well versed in shearwater and will be easily able to assist you and your classmates more effectively

The only bit I don't like this video was the big banner of RAID, it was so out of place lol😂😂😂

agree 💯. I see the new shearwater that just came out for the rec diver as a game changer. not everyone needs the rec features however the new AI shearwater should be great for most.

Looks a lot like the Razor or the Apeks system.

Just had a similar experience… I had the PerdIX Ai since October 2019. Total rebuild with new chassis, screen, glass, buttons etc. all for the handling fee! I can’t recommend them enough!

bought myself a Peregrine a couple of years ago and i love it. worth every penny.

Buy once ... cry once. Love my Shearwater computers

^ Another shearwater diver. Definitely recommend their computers. It worked like a charm every time. Intuitive interface and you know exactly when you need to replace a battery. Their customer service has been top notch for me, although I didn't have major issues.

I clicked on the video thinking I was about to get angry with you. Lol you got me. Love my shearwater!

I went with a cheap computer when I started. It worked. I could barely read it in the water, but it worked. I bought a secondhand Perdix AI, and love it. I can read that thing anywhere, I can dive my entire career on it (unless I need more than 4 transmitters someday)… great computer and company. That stated, I don’t think it’s for everyone. Not all divers need its functionality and could save a lot with a less expensive computer. Travel only recreational divers are never going to need all its power.

Haha I recently bought a Shearwater myself after having done a lot of research and comparison, so I clicked on this video thinking, "Well, well, well...let's see what he's got to say now." Now I'm glad my decision to go with Shearwater was just reaffirmed :D
