Divemaster Stress Test made easy

- This video demonstrates the Stress Test that is required for your Dive Master certification. Nathan Matthews and Dean Kennedy demonstrate this successfully on their first attempt. They have been diving buddies since the first day of their open water course. This video was taken in Cape Town, South Africa just off Simons Town beach in 2019. They are around 12 meters deep, or 40 feet. Enjoy :)
Aww shit, I almost forgot about doing this! Even though we did this hovering, but not exchanging weightbelts as we had different gear configs. These dudes absolutely nailed their communication tho, VERY well done on that part!
Absolutely Amazing... Well done Guys!!! Teamwork on point
I remember that test. It was awesome
I ware the same SEAC Sub BCD for 13 years. Amazing BCD, love it.
LOL stroke!!
Nice teamwork.
Confused on why a stress test would consist of removing and replacing fins. If your fins or fin falls off keep swimming or let your dive buddy know you’re surfacing. Like ditching weights, that’s a last resort.taking your bcd off underwater, typically never lol. And why share air that way, all have two octos, use them. This isn’t a stress test it’s a sheer boredom test.
its more of a mental stressor in my experience. You won't be swapping masks underwater while sharing a reg in any real-world situation. It is more of a mental test from the combination of tasks combined with an amount of gas deprivation which requires teamwork to resolve. I found the mask swap to be particularly testing since you can't easily see eachother while sharing an occy.
about air...what if one is out of air and octo of other one is malfunctioning ? That's not boredom for me, looks quite challenging (at least now when I have
@@vasilivoloshin You should not be in an out of air situation in the first place preferably. If you are however, part of the buddy checking you are supposed to do is making sure both regulators are functional. If not buddy breathing does exist and used to be taught before octos became mainstream but it is VERY unlikely that an occy that worked during a buddy check before the dive begins malfunctioning, and even then they are designed to fail "open", so it will just be in constant free flow (which you can still breathe out of in an emergency) rather than not work at all.
-I've seen someone have to actually squeeze through a very tight wreck and remove the bcd.
-I have also seen situations where one diver was out of air and pulled the regulator out of the other one's mouth. The mouthpiece broke and they had to breathe out of one.
-the divemaster test not only tests whether you can do it, but how you do it and what it looks like. If you don't have mastery of the equipment, you won't be able to do it or it will be obvious that you are struggling a lot with it, which means that you are not at this level.
Doesn’t look too bad to be honest. Looks fun.
крутяк, it is cool
Good info
Wow. That's trust
Why don't do it in proper trim and neutrally buoyant?
Both divers removing weights together (and BCD removal if you have integrated weights) makes buoyancy while also holding onto a weight belt with one hand and eachother with the other while still needing to pass the regulator back and forth is a lot at once and could easily become potentially dangerous. That and the fact you practically cant stay in trim when you remove a bcd since itll just weigh you down wherever you are holding it, especially if you have integrated weights during the test.
All of these things are honestly amazing proof for why this skill is horseshit 😂 @@stolfygaming
@@Dasycottus its just a stress test you're never gonna be doing a whole gear swap underwater lol
Good dive buddies
“Stress” test made “Easy”?? …Sounds like an oxymoron 👌 😂
nice video! but how come that they have the mouths open (so water comes inside) before taking the mouthpiece? I mean... how do they get the water out of the mouth then? can it exit through the mouthpiece as well?
Yes, you just breathe out and the water is pushed out. You can also press the purge button on the regulator center to force the water out if you have empty lungs.
@@kiprasbiel interesting, thanks. I thought it could work like this, but in the video it looks like its insanely fast
@@user-ji3cd8do6i It is pretty much "automatic", as long as you make sure to exhale first. Funny thing is, that there really isn't that much water in their mouths because we tend to subconsiously account for the increase in ambient pressure and keep a bit more air in our mouths. To go into depth and actually fill your mouth cavity with water will take at least some level of conscious effort, believe it or not. However, the "mouthpiece" or the regulator's 2nd stage is filled with water and that can be either breathed out with a small bit of extra effort, or purged via a button.
@@sparksi2519 nice, thanks!!
I'm not a diver, why do they keep blowing out air after taking a breath? Wouldn't it be better to hold your breath for a bit and then exhale before inhaling again?
I understand that you can't hold your breath when you are ascending but why aren't they doing it here?
Golden rule of diving is to NEVER hold your breath. It’s very important to consistently breathe. When the regulator isn’t in your mouth, you need to slowly let out bubbles. Failure to do so can lead to serious injuries.
@@nathanmatthews4981 But I don't understand the physics behind that, is there also a danger when you are stationary? Or is that rule purely for muscle memory so you don't screw up when you are ascending?
The main danger is when you’re ascending like you stated. It’s just important never to get in the habit of holding your breath, no matter if you’re stationary, descending or ascending.
@@nathanmatthews4981 I see, that makes sense. I thought that maybe there was an extra danger I didn't know about.
Thanks for the reply.
Mmmm yum
Irado demais esses cursos.
👍
Dude in the black exposure suit needed a little more work on his buoyancy during the switching of bcds
Typiquement le type d'exercice qui n'a absolument aucun intérêt ....quand tu vois l'équipement qu'ils on et le nombre de kilos, tu te dis que ce système de formation n'est pas le bon...
Diver on the right has an air thank leak
I noticed the same
This is not scuba diving this is some sorts of advanced snorkelling while damaging the ocean creatures at the bottom. STROKES from PADI lol!!! Not impressed!!
I’ll recant something. If you need to take your bcd off while cave diving or wreck diving to pass through a location and it’s not tight to your body and you lose it in zero visibility , then you’re not diving you’re just an idiot 😂. The sharing air scenario on a single octo because you’re out of air and your dive buddies second stage is broken occurs as often as giant asteroids strike earth.
Why are neither of them consistently blowing out bubbles when their regulator is out?!
We are. Watch again.
Never seen someone wear so many weights. Must be PADI
It's in South Africa so we work in Kilograms not pounds and Its SSI not PADI.
Warm water diver. Look at how much Neopren they wear.
Il faudrait déjà qu ils s allègent...6 kg de plomb chacun gôlés comme des crevettes... à faire un petit exercice d aisance... mouais.
Revoir son lestage!!!!
Sure hope your divemaster doesn't have herpes 1... 👀
Gut in black-red suit wearing a too mutch weight !!!
Völlig sinnlose Übungen!
Ist im Curriculum, muss also gemacht werden.
Now watch what happens when the bull shark comes up and takes a bite out of both legs... Now what? Can you ascend to the surface as fast as you want or must you level off to avoid the Bends. 👀
Sharks don't go out of their way to attack people. Less than like 110 people are bit per year. Relax on the fear
@@ryank4792 strawman argument. Fail.
@@Zakariah1971 Statistically sharks are very unlikely to attack people, especially divers. It is mostly surfers and people on boards as they look very similar to large fish/seals to sharks. With divers sharks can tell because we move weird, have big round things on top of us, and spray out loud spooky bubbles everywhere. If a shark does attack a diver it is almost certainly because it was being harassed by a diver.
Not a diver. Don’t hate myself that much…
