Thanks for the tip about the education portion! It's like 699$ CAD before taxes to get open water certified here and that can be a barrier! (but also learning about some of those things like rupturing your lungs DOES make me want to get proper training to do this safely. I am looking at becoming a liveaboard sailor and scuba diving (shallow dives) are somewhat essential skills for under the waterline boat repairs. Thanks I will keep looking into things

Quite like this channel. Good job as always. Also many thanks about the SSI online training.

@@WaterlineShorts Paul. A wee request is a short clip on entry and exit procedures for both scuba and snorkel diving. Walking in from the beach, boat entry and jumping from a height. Many people overlook these basics. Lots of explanations on clearing masks but not a lot about entry-exit or for that matter underwater navigation.

I looked for the online courses your described and the link doesn’t work….l am also looking for a good instructor in Tallahassee Florida if you have any suggestions

Very interesting video 👍🏻

Run the inside with toothpaste. That will wipe away the residue from manufacturing. You will still need fog drops or spur spit every dive.

Best to do a course when you go on holiday. You can do all the theory online Before you go

Is the free theory still legit? Ie. Will it be accepted at all dive centres as sufficient to do your pool dives and open water dives? I was thinking of doing my pool training and open water abroad (I’m in the UK) and wouldn’t want to travel there without proper certification etc

You'll want to start with your open water ceritication. Prices very on location and the dive shop. Around 200-600 for your owc

I can equalise my ears without blocking my nose. I don’t know if this is a common ability. I just kind of move my jaw and some muscles in my neck.

"Mask Clearing is a skill you will use on every Dive" Well I guess it could be if your mask does not fit you correctly, I guess I was lucky to have an Instructor who took the time to explaine how to find a Mask that fits and seals right, then when I asked he spent the 45min it took to help me find and test Masks and there seals until I found one that I not only loved the design but that also correctly sealed to my face... I rarely ever had Mask leaks witb that mask or any other that I have bought and tested since and I have been diving since 1994 so been thriugh a lot of Masks as well... Lol

Clearing masks, and working on buoyancy does not equal "How to scuba dive." I know SSI's site has some great resources, but I wanted a quick refresher video of the dos and don'ts of scuba. I like a lot of your videos, but this is kinda scammy.
