I think that most people who fear diving are afraid of the what ifs.I was myself before I actually tried it. They don't realize that with training, they will see that there are precautions and procedures that we use to eliminate the ( What if's), and also how to handle any situations that may arise. No sport is 100% fail proof. but knowing what to do certainly decreases the chances of any major issues. So the only way for them to realize how safe it really is , is for them to (Discover scuba diving).Once they experience this, they will most likely realize their fears were moot, and will become addicted to the sport.
I recently did a discover scuba diving course and it definitely did eliminate my fears...I do however think that it's good to have a bit of fear as a beginner to keep your ego in check and not suddenly think you are a really good scuba diving because of a few successful tries
..and you are right..It really created a deep interest and lust for more which I'm sure will lead me down a dark road of more and more expensive travels to dive spots and even more expensive equipment...you fuckers didn't warn me about that before, now did ya!?😂)
No potty words ! Next time I'm telling mom!
exactly. The problem is when people don't respect the process of scuba diving (like diving within your limitations) or take the dangers seriously. Then of course your setting yourself up for failure.
I started diving 3 years ago and honestly my impression was never that scuba diving was dangerous, before I learned more about it and became a diver. Now I think I have a healthy appreciation for what IS dangerous about it. Before I just thought of it as underwater swimming. I find that most non-divers are afraid of sharks and possibly other marine life, but don't understand the other risks associated with diving.
PS I want to see the obsolete gear vid!
Scuba diving is extremely dangerous..... for your wallet.
Yes.... True... 😂
damn that is true
Just like riding a motorcycle, except motorcycles are more dangerous.
Scuba claims another victim, my tax return
Mark, did you have a traumatic experience with a bus? 😂
We all asked him that when we filmed this video... he's only just stopped crying!
@@simplyscuba you guys are wonderful people, i suggest buying him a remote controlled bus, after hitting his foot with it..
@@simplyscuba does he cry often tho?
Epic clip of the dolphins playing with the whale shark. Want to dive there one day.
I was never afraid of scuba diving I thought it was going to be boring, I didn't know there was so much life underwater. I only started diving after watching a close friend dive while I snorkeled.
Some people are just afraid of water and what is “down there”, but I have found, that some of them actually have lost that fear because of scuba diving and/or snorkelling because they could finally see underwater and if you can see that its just an alga that touches your leg its less frightening than thinking it's an see monster that can drag you underwater.
As an idea for a future video, how about different ways to learn scuba diving. I, for example, have learned it in a club in Germany, and it's very different to learning it via a commercial company. For example it took me about half a year to get certified, with about 10 weeks of training just in the pool, and you have to ask different instructors, because they do it for free and have a normal job, and therefore not always time for diving. But on the plus side the certificate is almost free:)
However I would like to know if there is such a system in different country's as well, and also if there are other entirety different ways to learn scuba diving.
Also a video about underwater sports, like underwater rugby or underwater hockey would be great.
I told my friends that on my first dive my reg fell out 40ft down and that a nearly fainted underwater and my friends were like, oh... ok
I’m afraid to scuba dive, because I don’t want the gold fish to steal all my gold. 🤣🤣
My instructor Mike told me he was narced and buried himself In sand.
I'm not sure many non-divers know what bends and nitrogen narcosis is. :) But for sure, the part about marine life eating you for lunch always comes up for some reason.... damn you Jaws! :D
And now The Meg
Yeah, the only way I figured it out was just happened to be googling diving and read a story about a guy who never resurfaced, but certainly doesn't sound as fun as being drunk.
Non divers fear the bus at 30m lol
but i want to hear about old gear, however i could just go swing by the Alex Pierce Scuba channel :)
sounds like a plan!
I wasn't afraid of these things until I was a new diver. First time in the ocean, I was terrified.
I still get a bit of thalassaphobia, but not enough to keep me out of the water
Fish are out there to get you.
Probably comes down a lot to the way that the movies depict diving honestly.
That Robox clip of him playing scuba diving at quill like I've played it because I'm to poor to get scuba gear and so all I can do is play games but for the past 4 years I have been saving enough money to get my certification and soon I will have enough I would say a month and all that hard work will be paid off and after that I'll gear
Edit: Got my certification im so happy!!! : )
I feel like this topic has been done before. But i love these videos anyways ☺
We did do a video called what non-divers think scuba diving is - ruclips.net/video/NdXcAVvOMZg/видео.html that was before your awesome people voted for what Friday feature video you wanted to see. :D
2:48. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay, 3 years late to the party! The only "Narc'd" divers I've ever had was a guy who took a literal step off the wall at 120" (36.5m) - headed towards the 210' (64m) bottom. Luckily, we saw it and grabbed him around 140' (43m) nd the entire team headed up. The only other was a newer diver taking a deep class and went into total zoned out/glassy eyed/stare into the abyss at about 90' (27M). Like others, never seen a true narc'd and handing off a reg event. LOL, Heard about 'em...
I really want to learn how to dive this summer (I’m in high school) but I’m afraid that it will hurt my ears. I really dislike diving deep in pools because at some point when diving down my head starts to hurt. Same thing on plane but only one of my ears hurts and it’s always on the decent and never the ascent. I am not at all afraid of marine life (I actually work at the national Aquarium) But how long does it take to adjust getting used to breathing under water with all of the equipment?
Are you making sure to equalise when diving deep in the pool? I just finished my open water diving course which is the first step. I did a lot of theory, 1 full day in the pool and 2 days diving off the boat. I had a near death experience while free diving prior to this course but i managed to overcome it. Now i absolutely love diving and im sure you will if you give it a go 😊👍
I wanna dive too but i am 12 sooooo
Even though the chance of dying due to marine life is less likely than dying due to everyday tasks, I’m still so scared of it for some reason
I have panic attacks and vomit. Neither sounds fun underwater. Is there any hope for me? ;)
maybe VR diving??
On the bright side you'll make your buddies really happy when all the fishes start swarming around you
@@Kaixa123 I'll make sure to eat something the fish will like, then, and make everyone happy. ;P
Once you get used to being underwater its actually quite therapeutic. I get panic attacks and anxiety too. Diving keeps you focused on the present and teaches you to just breathe deeply and slowly. Its almost like meditation 😊👍
Hey mark. I tried ordering things from u guys but u dont deliver outside the eu.
Im gonna wait til u guys leave the eu to order.
The girl wrote me back saying i can do a work around but its annoying leg work i dont wanna do lol.
Mark, don't be afraid of the big bad bus, it won't hurt you, maybe.
Non divers think jaws is going to eat them.
What game is that at the end??!!
It's called Roadblox
Old obsolete gear is best left to Alex Pierce's channel ;)
I think a popular one is that it will hurt your ears (or not be able to equalize).
So many people tell me that they are scared of sharks. One person told me they are scared of so much water.
Do the obsolete gear vid. I think newbs keep getting the votes.
I'm scared to get back in the water after I lost my goggles at ~30ft on my first sea dive. Trying to retrieve them, kept taking water in threw my nose and breathing it in, desperately hitting the button on the front of my mouthpiece to purge the water out of my mouth + maybe my sinuses.
I panicked looking up and needing to make a decision to possibly pass out from unfamiliarity with what was happening and how to deal with it, frantically swam to the surface at the last second fearing the worst. Made it topside and instantly started choking getting new air in and panting, horrible migraine for about 24hrs.
I want to get back in, but I'm petrified that it will happen again and that my sinusitis or whatever problems I do/n't have are keeping me from diving.
Diving for a certificate ain't easy in practice 😂 when you dive for safety then you'll make time for fun.
Is it safe to go scuba diving with no training at 10 ft? Just curious because my friend who is certified wanted me to go scuba diving in a shallow lake.
Scuba diving should always be performed after being certified or in presence of an responsible instructor
Get in a pool, learn the equipment and basic skills first b4 going into any open water. You'll enjoy it more and you will have basic skills if your "friend" got into any trouble. Over confidence is the biggest problem in scuba diving
@@tempestrage257 Over confidence also happens when you are certified cuz you think you are better than you are and then you go too deep
I've got hit by a bus mirror, the damn thing come from nowhere and attack🤪 wasn't bad at all😂
HELP 🙏 my husband doesn’t want me to scuba dive for the first time in Roatan. I have a bad neck issues pinched nerve. He feels I should just snorkel. I have snorkeled all my life about 40 times. Does anyone have a suggestion about whether or not this would be a bad situation for me to scuba dive. I wouldn’t be going very deep since it would be my first time. Thanks friends.
ALOHA 🌺 from Hawaii
Diving does has its risk but it is a very safe sport. I have been certified since 2010 and it was the best decision I ever made.
The main reason non divers think diving is dangerous is due to how it's depicted in the media. I've been diving for nearly 40 years and I've never been attacked by a shark, bitten by a barracuda, mauled by a moray eel or even cut myself on a piece of coral. (Although a carp once bumped into me on a lake dive.) I've never had the bends, nitrogen narcossis, or an air embolism, never even seen a hyperbaric chamber up close. And I've never had anyone attack me and try to cut my air hose. But let's face it if movies and television depicted diveing as it really is it would make for a pretty boring show. It's nearly impossible to convey the actual diving experience to someone who hasn't been there. The excitement of seeing things that you had previously only seen in books or video, the feeling of flying. T be honest one advantage (beyond safety concerns) about diving with a buddy or in a group is the ability to have people to share the experience with afterwards. So often when telling people about a dive I'm asked, "Did you see any sharks" (Particularly amusing when you're telling them about a dive in Lake Erie) but when you don't have some life threatening adventure to relate they get bored and change the subject.
My most harrowing adventure was getting tangled in a wad of monofilament fishing line... Thank God for that foot long dive knife that Lloyd Bridges said I needed.
Today i got my CMAS P1 CERTIFICATE WOHOOO
,and i still think that diving is a really fun sport and like every other thing if u are not paying attention u will be in serious trouble.
It is definitely a dangerous sport. Expanding gases, DCS, drowning, oxygen toxicity ect...
In my country a diver drowned because his trimming vest broke and sank 80 meters deep and died there he coundlt get saved because he was diving alone
My problem is, that I should have started diving when I was younger. Young people don't wanna dive with an old fart.
But you guys look adorable in wet suits...like fat seals
@@Admire Thank you.
@@kevinesmeier7942 you are welcome kind sir.
What's the story about the narced guy with fish? Was he giving them the emergency air supply?
Yep
YES I finally got my certification!!!
Congrats Earl! 🎉🎉
@@simplyscuba thank you!
im totally scared of animals odwn there coming and eat me, lmao. i tried to search for statistics to help my fear but didnt find anything
Still think recreational SCUBA is dangerous? Have a look and you’ll find it’s included as standard on most ordinary travel insurance:
* Scuba diving up to depth of 30 metres (if qualified or accompanied by qualified instructor and not diving alone or involved in cave diving).
Then have a look at the sports that are NOT covered as standard and so require an extra premium:
* Amateur Athletics
* Bungee Jumping
* Cricket
* Dry Slope Skiing
* Gymkhana
* Mountain Biking
* Sea Kayaking
* Trampolining
(Above examples from my most recent trip policy - yours may vary)
Well, I'm afraid that attempting to scuba dive without proper training will impair our ability to roller skate.

What is nitrogen narcosis?
Nitrogen narcosis is the state of euphoria and exhilaration that
occurs when a diver breathes a gas mixture with a nitrogen partial pressure greater
than approximately 4 ata.
Causes of Nitrogen Narcosis. Breathing nitrogen at high partial pressures has
a narcotic effect on the central nervous system that causes euphoria and impairs
the diver’s ability to think clearly. The narcotic effect begins at a nitrogen partial
pressure of approximately 4 ata and increases in severity as the partial pressure
is increased beyond that point. The symptoms of nitrogen narcosis include:
Loss of judgment or skill
A false feeling of well-being
Lack of concern for job or safety
Apparent stupidity
Inappropriate laughter
Tingling and vague numbness of the lips, gums, and legs
Disregard for personal safety is the greatest hazard of nitrogen narcosis. Divers
may display abnormal behavior such as removing the regulator mouthpiece or
swimming to unsafe depths without regard to decompression sickness or air supply.
In simple terms..... and not copy and pasting from a wikipedia page trying to sound smart ( like some ppl 😂🙄) it's getting high on nitrogen. taking in more nitrogen than your body is used to, you will take in more the deeper you go and it will affect you in many ways. The most dangerous probably being judgement
What game is that!?
It's Roblox 🤣🤣🤣
@@simplyscuba oh snap haha, well guess ill have to try it out finally
Guys I want to hear the social media one don't scrap it forever!
people think diving is dangerous because lie about it to make me look tough
ROBLOX diver speciality anyone? I’m giving classes it is totally legit and through padi
Honestly if you know what you are doing its as dangerous as driving a car which is quite safe if you know what you are doing
But doesn’t this process feed oxygen back to your body if you go too deep
I have phobia of deep ocean called thalasomeshiticantpronouce phobia so a no no for me
I always believe scuba diving is as dangerous as you make it
Because you can die.
Two words: cone snail. Yes, they have killed divers, even professional ones. Avoid touching marine life, just enjoy the show.
