Yes, definitely, and never try to exceed 30 feet per minute. Thank you!

I found when deploying my DSMB it is very difficult to maintain my depth unless I do it near the ocean floor. That way I can see if Im ascending before I want to or too fast. Another technique that my buddies and I use, is before the dive, determine who will deploy the DSMB and the buddy maintains the correct depth so as you deploy the DSMB you can watch your buddy and maintain the correct depth PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE the deployment of your DSMB !!!
Deploying a DSMB is definitely great to practice. So few people I've met have or carry one, let alone feel confident in deploying it. It can really help to practice too because it helps you improve buoyancy and situational awareness while task loading too, which is important! At least to start it definitely helps to have a visible marker or land mark that is stable (like the ground) so you can see your relative position to it without needing to keep watching the dive computer. In time and lots of practice it slowly becomes easier to hold buoyancy without reference and also task loading. I've seen some very skilled divers pin their buoyancy super well even while task loading!
Fair, haha, I'll try to reduce clips used with the bicycle kicks, haha. Some of these clips are taken over many years, and trips and other folks,I suppose bicycle kicks are common. I will use even use a very low motion kick when going slow or need for more precise kicks. Fair feedback though!
Ummmm, im nitpicking here a bit, but.... Decompression as a term is and should only be used when talking about, well, decompression. Safety stop is not decompression, nor this nonsense "3m per 30sec and 30 sec stop" while within NDL. NDL means "no decompression limit", hence there is NO DECOMPRESSION. 3mins at 5meters is an arbitrary padding meant to increase safety (and rightly so, not arguing against that), but it has nothing to do with decompression as there is none required. Decompression is a planned, scheduled and mandatory obligation one must undergo before surfacing. Funnily enough, the (most used) last deco stop is at 6m instead of 5m as there is a sweet spot for oxygen...
You are right. The semantics of decompression and safety stops. Safety stop really is a no-stop dive, and the safety is for added measure and to some degree practice. Whenever you ascend, you are effectively decompressing, just that your saturation has not exceeded the point to which a decompression stop is required. Effectively, to me, a safety stop, if you are to do one, is a non required decompression stop. Most everyone I've ever dived with does the safety stop for NDL dives, so I mentioned the alternative models to practice for decompression stops.
Much appreciated
Thank you so much for your clear and compassionate attitude and communication. You are no doubt, saving lives with every breath pardon the pun.
Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I am always trying to improve my ability to make better videos as I go!
I hope to be doing a safety stop in the Cozumel Channel soon !! 👌
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you and let me know when your heading to Cozumel!! I'll be diving in the Red Sea soon here!
Great video ! I would also add ascending rate for most divers try to ascend at a rate of 30 feet per minute. Check your computer as you ascend.

I stop per PADI at 15 feet for 5 minutes. The key for proper neutral buoyancy is also your control breathing such as, mid-inhale and exhale.
That's spot on, but the min for PADI is 3 minutes, but some extra time does not hurt.
A good video but I can't understand how a lot of the footage shows divers finning like they are riding a bicycle.

Lol I wondered that, too.

🤿👍😎🇵🇭! Bravo another great video! That neutral buoyancy is such a key and I am always working on it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Spot on, hitting that neutral buoyancy is so important and a key foundation to almost every other skill on top of it!
