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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @@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.
