10-35 Divers

Simple Drill to help improve buoyancy and trim. Plus its fun.

I post this because I want to show, what not to do. If you are laying line, especially if you are going into a cave, then you should not silt out the area in which you are laying line. In my mentoring class, we approach line laying techniques in a three prong approach. Laying line out of water, laying line in open water, then when I feel you are ready, laying line in an overhead environment.

Maybe this is too late for my divemaster candidates to put in their dive briefings, but I am sure all open water divers can use it.

Teaching Divemaster Candidates this morning

https://www.facebook.com/mathieu.bur/posts/1884142098265180 This is not a political post in any which way or form. This is a practical post. As a diver, I care about the health of the ocean, as well as the animals in it. Plastic products are not needed and 20 years ago, their consumer footprint was a lot less. Plastic cannot be recycled back into their original uses, so to say plastic is recyclable is kinda a lie. Plastic bottles cannot be recycled back into bottles, whereas glass and aluminum containers can be. The only reason for plastic bags, straws and bottles are because they are cheaper to produce.

This is a good lesson because most divers travel and as such, they go into differing environments. From cold salt water to warm salt water to fresh water: you will use different gear. Because of this, your weighting will change. If you choose a reputable diving outfit when traveling to a dive destination, please trust the divemaster/instructor. Also, do your research on diving outfits prior to booking with them. If you have any questions you can shoot us a message.

This was a good day with friends. We were diving a cave that we never had been in before. This is a short clip of a cave dive. Cave diving requires specialized training and gear. I am serious about this. Do NOT ever go into a cave without the proper training, the proper experience, the proper equipment, and the right dive buddies with the right attitudes.

I created this page because I want to share insights into diving--especially for newer divers. A place were experienced divers and new divers can share ideas and ask questions, with the understanding that there is no dumb question. A place where we can talk about traveling to diving destinations and plan on visiting them together. The world is 70% covered by water, we should be enjoying it together with friends. I have many friends in this industry, and I will be sharin...g their businesses as well. If I share another business on this page, it means I know them and their integrity is above reproach. I am not in competition with anyone in this industry and my only goal is to promote scuba diving. If you are a former student of mine, please write a review, so all can see what I am about. Thank you for your time, Matt
