It's really refreshing to see such precise scuba skills. It encourages me to want to work towards the same goal. Somethings all divers should consider.

Absolutely true!

There is no such thing as perfection, but that's about as close as you can get! Well done!

I'm truly impressed by the buoyancy control in all situations demonstrated. Trim is perfect, weight perfectly balanced. That is spot on all the time. Awesome work guys. I feel like I need more practice now despites hundreds and hundreds of dives done...

Nothing is perfect but there is ALWAYS Perfect Effort! Grate video, thanks for saring mate!!!

WoW crazy techniques!

Perfecto!!! Muy bien amigo!!!

Well made vid man. The whole vibe was coo

NICE!!! Good demo.... great trax. :-)

Awesome video my friend!!! From this video I start to love Spain, nice! Yeah thats exactly what it mean. Time to go to work. Just like when anyone punched a time card.

Great music!!!

Very impressive

Awesome! Great video of this Tec Dive skill! Thank you for sharing with us! All the best to you Arvis! Arty :-)

Great video; especially useful for those, like me, who are novices but have definite ambitions to become technical divers. One question: which agency is the best place to turn to for instruction in technical diving?

depends on your definition of best, but if best means most precise and thorough skills - with virtually no quality variation between instructors (and so no need for the BS excuse of "looking for the best instructor") then GUE and UTD (my preference) are by far the best. Good luck on your journey

Also something often overlooked is the location. If you find an instructor in calm and warm water, it’ll help you focus more on learning and the skills. In locations with cold and choppy water, you’ll be more distracted and it’ll be harder to learn new things. Once you’ve mastered it though, cold/choppy water provides a good challenge And personally, I recommend PADI for basic OW, advance and rescue. PADI is the “fun” courses. Which is good when you’re learning the basics. You want to love scuba, not hate it. With that said for advanced dives, SSI/TDI and GUE are both more thorough than PADI on technical stuff. So I recommend them for Tech or cavern/cave diving. That’s what I did and I’m a pretty solid diver now

Awesome trim and video. Are these GUE divers? They are the only ones I know who dive with precise trim like this. I’m Padi diver all the way to DM but I do hope to train with GUE tech someday.

@Yggdrasil42

Any tech agency will train these skills. GUE is a good choice if you're into their specific diving style. I've met many good instructors from them. I personally did my tech training with TDI, because they do consider sidemount a valid configuration for open water technical diving. Had excellent instructors too. So look at what you want to do, then find a good instructor. The agency choice is secondary.

A few random tips: 1) I recommend learning doubles or sidemount now. And get certified for them. Buy the gear. 2) Also get really good at clipping and unclipping and using stuff, like lights, reel, SMB, etc. Learn how to memorize where they are. 3) Just do a ton of dives each day and at night refresh yourself with KZread videos and try to emulate that trim, technique and buoyancy skills. 4) have a dive buddy videotape you scuba diving/swimming so you can see and thus improve your technique

Why? You have the long hose that is secure. The teammate has good skills. Both divers have both hands free to other other things like deploying an SMB for blue water ascent. Why do you *always* hold to each other?

@Yggdrasil42

In recreational diving that's a good idea because of the short octopus hose and less than perfect buoyancy control. In technical diving not so much due to long hose and better skills.

good basic drills as advertised..however....Trimmed tech..why no H valves?

@Yggdrasil42

5 жыл бұрын

What do H valves have to do with trim or tec though? H valves seem like a solution that no one really needs. They complicate things for rec OW divers, while people who need redundancy are better served by fully redundant gas supply like manifolded doubles or two independent tanks in sidemount. The only place where H valves have a purpose is in very cold water where the increased flow from buddy breathing could cause a single first stage to freeze, and having an H valve with two first stages should help. Even then two tanks would be the preferred solution.

Those aren't really done in technical diving. Serves no real purpose. The horizontal "skydiving" position is where it's at. A 90 degree roll to your left or right side can be useful, especially in sidemount, to pass through narrow passages or doorways in wrecks or caves.

this doesn't look like tech diving to me - it looks like regular DIR skills that gue and utd have been using and teaching for decades ...
