No problem at all, happy to help and glad you found it useful! How long have you been freediving and scuba diving? I really need to get myself to try freediving for real some time. I've done VERY little in that space.
The last suggestion is smart. I just finished 3 days of diving with a group, 2 dives each day. 18 meters max, 30-35 min. I started to get sluggish and short of breath on day 3, and just brushed it off as fatigue. End of day 3 second dive, I’ve got a headache and getting nauseous. Hip pains. Out of shape and cold because of water temp? Hip flexors burning because 6 dives in 72 hours in current? Maybe shouldn’t have hard oatmeal and eggs 60-90 minutes before getting into the water? Of course at the end of the dive, I felt like something was off. I’m still a newbie so I said nothing. I’m back at the hotel, (solo) and start reading about dcs and the symptom types and intervals. Iareas of going to the hospital just in case, I found a hyperbaric chamber and made an appt. 2 sessions in 1 day and I feel normal again. Dcs? Fatigue? I’m not sure, but I do know I didn’t want to do that last dive. And I bet had I sucked kn some o2 right away I prob could have nipped it in the bud. Lesson learnt!
Dankeschön! Ich habe Deutsch Untertitel, aber ich weise nicht ob sie richtig sind. My German is pretty bad now, I haven’t practiced for a few years. But I did put German subtitles 😅
5:58 lol I've been to this place in 2017. It's Kura Hulanda at Westpunt, Curacao. I stayed in the last one of those 10 houses. The place stopped business though.
At what point would you say that snorkeling becomes free diving? At a certain depth? Or would you then also recommend not snorkelling for another 12 hours after diving?
It’s not recommended to free dive after diving, though I can’t recall the exact time recommendation off the top of my head. Snorkeling usually refers to staying at the surface while free diving is breath hold diving down.
your videos are of great quality , I learnt so much, preparing for my first diving experience! I even learnt all words from that basic sign video you shown, so excited
very nice ! thanks for these useful advices 👍we are like a bottle of Coke which should not be shaken too much😀 I am fond of kitesurfing/windsurfing/mountain biking that I can do only in the morning if I dive in the afternoon : no diving in the morning if I kitesurf in the afternoon😥
Warning I ain’t advocating for flying after scuba but here is a good tid bit of info a commercial airliner cabin pressure never goes below 5,000-8000’ feet even thou u r at 35,000’feet it’s pressurized
Wieso steht da "tödlich" im Titel? Ich hatte eine Massage nach dem Tauchen und was danach sehr müde und bekam Gelengschmerzen. Jetzt weiss ich, ich werde es bestimmt nicht mehr tun. Danke.
That's in the title because doing these things after diving are potentially deadly. It's kind of like anything else with diving when there's a risk. If you ascend from 18 meters too quickly, you may get the bends. The bends is potentially deadly, but people can be treated. A massage is something you have to be careful with immediately after diving, like I say in the video, because it can release gas in the tissues faster than normal which can lead to the bends (decompression sickness).
@@CircleHScuba Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Ich war bei meinem ersten Tauchgang vor dem OpenWater Kurs, welchen ich auf nächste Woche verschoben habe. Dieser erste Tauchgang bis ca. 10 Meter war vor einer Woche. Ich hatte auch leichten Druck im Kopf (trotz Druckausgleich) und meine Nasenschleim löste sich 3 Tage lang. Auch lösten sich Blutplättchen in der Nase. Jetzt geht es mir wieder gut. Ich weiss nicht, ob das alles mit dem Tauchen und der Massage zu tun hatte. Aber wenn jetzt alles wieder gut ist, sollte ich diese Dekompressionskrankheit nicht haben oder?
Good advice, one question you just finished your dive exited onto the boat that's setting in the hot sun ,how do you compensate for temperature and degasing ??
Honestly just stay hydrated, get out of the wetsuit/drysuit, try to find shade. That’s all fine. You’d be sweating to maintain body temperature, where immersing in a hot shower or hot tub doesn’t necessarily allow for that same regulation.
I actually went over this with DAN recently. DAN US's guidance is still 24 hours. DAN South Africa's guidance, which isn't burdened with US liability concerns is 4-6 hours. And let's be honest if you listened to DAN US full time professional divers would never be able to exercise, except on a day off. Yet many professional divers do work out, Edd Sorrenson is well known for being ripped and having a gym in his classroom at CA. And Edd is diving not just almost every day but a vast majority of it involves decompression.
great video, thanks! do you happen to know why the recommendation on elevation change (>1,000 feet) isn't the same as no fly time? Commercial flights are pressurized to an equivalent of 6,000 feet altitude. So if I hike to +1,400 feet altitude, that seems to be less change than a flight, yet the recommendation is 24 hrs for a hike like that, vs. potentially 12h or 18h for no fly. Any ideas why?
This is a great question. I don’t know why the recommendations are as they are. Maybe a blanket rule in case people are hiking in higher altitudes versus gating rules based on altitude that you’d have to look up separately? 😬 I’m not sure though, really good question
@@CircleHScuba thanks. going diving in Costa Rica! Then on a hike, but dive is in morning (2 dives) and hike to 1,400' is next day. will see what the no fly time on my computer (garmin) tells me! so I'll have 20 hours after dive before we get in the car to drive and won't be after multiple days of diving so feel like I should be pretty close to guideline (if not exactly within). but, everyone's different so we'll see how it goes. agree with the comments to listen to your body.
Listen to your body more than anything. Is that with Bill Beard’s operation? I’m going this summer! Very excited to hear how it is, so let me know what you thought of it all!
@@CircleHScuba just got back. we were diving near Playa Hermosa on the pacific side. it was ok (we had 2 dive days over the days there) .. vis is not that great so no WA photos (maybe macro would work); my experienced dive friend said although the diving wasn't excellent, he saw something new and interesting on each dive (including an octo on one!). We went with a local shop there that wasn't the one you mention, I can look it up if you're interested. it's a great country, I'm sure you will enjoy it!
I dove 5 bottles, 80's, mostly 30-45' with some time at 60' and then I flew a 3 hour flight at 30,000' 5 hours after the diving. What do you think I experienced?
@@CircleHScuba I was younger and in excellent shape as well as I had a lot of down time experience... and a bit of an extremist all my life so I recommend you continue to teach safe margins always. I felt a sleight DCS and actually a little affect on my breathing... And there again I don't recommend doing this.
@@CircleHScuba I live on the edge always, practicing self control and avoiding any onset of panic... This is not the craziest thing I've done. Another way of testing myself and ability, like rate of ascending, ditching weight belts, cave diving as well as not using a bc. I have saved lives 4 times and many times I've limited dive partners equipment and diving experience based on their ability until I've evaluated their ability to process the total experience. Everyone has a different ability to process something new and I think they should be safe as well as have fun
@besearchingforwisdom6267 I hear you on pushing yourself but some things are anatomical and physics based, not really a personal limit but a human anatomy limit 😅 Just be safe! That said, I know DAN does a number of studies on divers on a volunteer basis for their research on DCS and such, you should see if you can help! They asked for volunteers a couple months ago for a new study, and afaik it’s all safe they just want to look at bubbles and stuff after diving
I wonder if diving computers will start telling us, how many hours we shouldn't exert ourselves. Like flashing 4 hours, no excursion, 4 hours no exercise no sex. 4 hours defend yourself with a gun, no punching no stabbing. And I wonder if games like Subnautica will take account of these real diving issues, like in a mod or a hard mode.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean, that’s a little more than I said in the video 😂 Some say “no fly time” but a lot don’t since it’s not an exact science. Everyone’s body is different.
@@CircleHScuba If you made a video about The Bends, I couldn't find it. In the RUclips search bar, I put Symptoms of the bends, and now I'm watching the science of Decompression Sickness from Waterline Academy. Next is that science experiment of a vile of blood in a pressure chamber. And other videos about how exactly this works. Then how to choose a diving-computer & mask. And I'm curious, what do you think of the game Subnautica? It's available on Steam, and there are videos & Let's-Plays about it. That game, and me considering living on a houseboat and hunting food with a harpoon-gun, is what got me into diving. Even not hunting, the ocean is so beautiful, and I want to get over my fear of the abyss of deep water, and swimming at night.
Hey! Didn’t do anything wrong, I’ve been doing some family stuff haha. I try to reply to every comment but that doesn’t always happen, sorry about that! This video is on choosing a mask: ruclips.net/video/6psyyfcND2g/видео.htmlsi=leMulkuNojqhmTdt I am planning a video on DCS actually! Subnautica is a fun game. It is a game, it’s got some stuff that’s realistic and a lot of things that were inspired by diving but it’s still a game. Fun to play though!
@@CircleHScuba I was worried you already heard about and were sick about it, or thought I wasn't serious about diving. I don't have a gaming PC yet, but games like that increased my interest in life with the sea. I hope a mod comes out to make the diving more realistic, or I'll just pretend and make my own hardmode, like I usually do with other games. I look forward to your new video. I'm enjoying everything I'm learning about water things.
The number one thing that you need to remember when going scuba diving is to always plan a one day in advance hotel room and airplane flight because you do not want to be immediately going on an airplane after scuba diving because the nitrogen in your lungs\body to prevent the bends or you might also get decompression sickness or even die so always remember that😊 so you don't die.
But can I ask you a question so I don't know if my dive computer the one that I want to get actually have the gauge that says how long I should not fly and one that I want it's called the the one that I want the brand it's called Osaren something like that Veo 4 dive computer with a compass so please let me know it's that one has it you know what I'm saying.
Oh yes the lovely back massage at the end of the day you know what I'm saying but but I kind of want a nice deep tissue massage instead of a regular massage but that's actually going to break down the excess nitrogen that's in my body and also the the stress that I've gotten in one day
I think you mean the Oceanic Veo 4.0, and if so according to the operating manual it does have the “no fly” countdown. I haven’t used that computer but I just found the manual online by googling and took a look.
@@CircleHScuba yep that's the one and also it's a lot more light and smaller foretravel you know what I mean so that's why I want that one but cool it actually has the countdown on it 👍 but the reason how I found it is on Amazon but obviously I'm not going to be buying it on Amazon you know what I mean because have you ever heard those stories where Amazon packages were thrown you know what I'm saying
the 12H needs to be headed with ( as long as it was not a dive with an adjusted elevation ) I know this is a 1% outlier, but it is a concern like diving lake Tahoe or some other "adjusted not sea level dive"

Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it! You’re welcome!
The exercise bit can be a challenge when you are diving in a location that requires walking to get to and from.
Totally agree. Just gotta take things slow and easy.
Had to explain (translate) every single point in this video to my German father this took a very long time 🫤
But safety is important 😅

Nice! Sad they stopped business though
I knew only abut not to ride anairplane, Because of Nitrogen bubbles in the blood by high altitude. I need to more understanding about the down time .
There’s definitely a lot to keep in mind!
on land : ELEVATION
in air ( flying ) : ALTITUDE
At what point would you say that snorkeling becomes free diving? At a certain depth?
Or would you then also recommend not snorkelling for another 12 hours after diving?

Atmospheric pressure still changes enough at 5k feet in my opinion. Not a doctor but it would still be a problem I believe
Very interesting and didactic video!
Thank you, glad you found it useful!
By mountain - how much altitude are we talking? I ask because I have heard mountain refer to 100ft or something over 1500ft.
Eh, I’ve heard 1000 feet, but in general I wouldn’t go hiking is kind of the main point, or driving over a mountain pass
