    Great video. Diving can be nerve wracking. It is the only place you are actually living in 3 dimensions. OF course it can be wonderful and that is why we do it. I am a nervous diver and have been for 30 years. I use twice the air that my wife does. But I am a nervous person. Those monsters are real for me. I was 16 when Jaws came out, and I lived near where it was filmed! You two are brave and I think with some practice you will love diving. I am sure of it. Good luck!

    I think as you dive more you will find that it is necessary to go hunting/ searching for, sharks, and other strange beasts and that they are hard to find. Although I personally have not had any interaction with crocodiles, documentaries about the Nile ones in Africa and Salties in the ocean, show that they don't have much interest in things in the water, as their hunting technique is pull land animals into the water and drown them. The best part for both of you is that you are in the part of the world some of the best scuba diving ever. Try to dive with Mantas, and Napoleon Wrasse before you head off across the Indian ocean

    I'm so glad you're both enjoying the diving. Wrecks are a Mecca for the fish and of course other species, including scoobedooers, and even in poor vis, can be special. So, just wait for your first night dive, it will be BRILLIANT !!!!! I hope you will agree with me, when you've done it. Kind Regards, Barnacle Bern BSAC Instructor 🤿

    Loved this - I had the same fears as Matt on my first few open water dives, that feeling of claustrophobia and that 20m under the surface was not somewhere people should go. This video has definitely made me want to face my fears and do more adventurous diving - as soon as we can travel! (I admit though - I laughed when you said "stunning anchorage after stunning anchorage" - there my sympathy was bit lacking!! Glad you've found a great way to use the time you're stuck!)

    Hi, I've been following you for a long time and everything in your videos has always been spectacular. The sessions are great, the quality is fantastic... this channel is absolutely brilliant and you helped me a lot with the majority of my curiosities about sailing and scuba diving too, thank you so much. Anyway, I would like to make a suggestion (if it's not a problem): I'm convinced that you can add a really funny video on your channel to show some of the funniest things happened while scuba diving or even during other water activities (like swimming or anything else), it can be something like a "oops and bloopers" compilation. For example, you could make a compilation of all of the times where you and, of course, your friends get "caught" on video while peeing in the water (my uncle relieved himself in a surfing session while he was waiting for a wave and that was hilarious, he always says there are 2 types of surfers, divers and swimmers: those who pee in the water and those who lie), you can also include those moments in the future videos just to keep having a bit of humour on your channel, you can use both old and new clips, what do you think? I know it sounds weird, but, for me, it's the funniest thing about divers and swimmers. When a diver pees in the water or in his wetsuit, I think he demonstrates to be someone who is not afraid of consequences or to be judged. I think it's something that can come out great! I'd be so so happy to watch it, let me know, have a great day!

    Shipwreck diving can be a bit spooky - But its kind of like going to a haunted house at Halloween - Spooky but you like it. Just like the beaches and anchorages started to look alike - so will coral reefs eventually - BUT - you can dive the same wreck over and over and you will always find something new....storms and seas are constantly exposing and covering different parts of the ship!

Low vis or zero vis can be a little nerve racking, but trust in your gear and recognize that although you may not be able to see, your gear is functioning as it should and all is well. It's easier said than done and can only be overcome by diving in zero vis waters...... or blacking out your mask. There's an idea. Lol

    @scottlittlewood4527 3 года назад

    If I was diving 28m in good visibility I would set up my gear with a 3 litre bail out cylinder with its own reg. If I was diving where visibility was likely to be an issue I would use fully independent twin cylinders with spare direct feed for the bcd. Breath each cylinder down 50 bar before changing regs to the opposite side. The extra equipment weight comes off the weight belt, so no real change there, but massively safer. For independent diving, away from medical facilities on shore, you really need a decent O2 kit on your own boat. Stay safe and love your diving.

  • @jeffclapp7330
    @jeffclapp7330 3 года назад

    FYI, your training apparently violated the standards of the PADI course based on you stating you were going to 28M during your OW course (which exceeds the maximum depth for the course and recommended maximum depth for the OW certification level). Your instructor should not have had you at such depths during training until your advanced open water course and could get in trouble with PADI for doing so.
    Also, as much as your channel relies on video I'd caution against doing much video work while diving until you get your buoyancy and trim to be second nature. It's easy to accidentally damage the reef, hit some fire coral or a venomous stonefish etc. when you're still new to diving.
    Diving is amazing, and I'm glad to see you two learning how to see and experience so much more of the ocean you're traveling now that the area below the surface is more accessible to you.
    My retirement plans are to buy a sailboat, put a compressor on it, and go sailing and diving the world full-time. So maybe in a few years I'll run into you at an anchorage :)
