Hey beaut!! ☀️ 🌻 new subscriber here 🙂 Hoping to be a certified scuba diver someday 🧜‍♀️ but first, I gotta learn how be a decent swimmer 😅 I’m turning 31 soon; is it too late to learn how to swim?

@@Ash_fp it's never too late to learn, and definitely not in your 30s (unless you have an underlying condition maybe, but I'm assuming that's not the case). Good luck with learning to swim!

Seawing nova fins. Love them

Good istruction for newbies, a greeting from Sardinia island (Italy), perfect for diving ;)

just finished my open water 10 days ago, still waiting for my certification but in short it was awesome... except that my buddy blew his eardrum and got a terrible infection but he was in good spirits and was able to finish the course since the symptoms hadn't set in until two days later.

Great videos. Where are you teaching at the moment?

great video .. well done

Lol. I’ve jumped out of airplanes with very cheap parachutes, some with multiple holes. Scuba is significantly more dangerous than skydiving but just as awesome

New sub here! Recently found your channel because we're new divers! We're full-time vegan travelers (who met working for Sea Shepherd) and we went straight from our open water to advanced back to back. We just bought a bunch of equipment too and can't wait to live underwater for as long as possible. Thanks for all your helpful info and tips!

I literally just enrolled in my Open Water Diver PADI course and was laughing my pants off when you said " Would you like to jump off a plane with a cheap parachute?" Since I literally did my first skydive yesterday 😂 and I can say I was very glad it wasn't a cheap parachute

Hi Kat. New sub here! Love your channel as I’m aspiring to become an open water padi diver next year. Can you please share what filming equipment you use to make your vids? Including your drone and underwater camera? Thanks so much! Jen from Michigan US 😊💚🙏✌️

Very great human

Fun fact, so I have a steel rod in my femur and found I'd be really sore after diving, then I bought scuba pro fins amazing! They are made to keep your legs in the ideal form, they were a little straining when I first tried them and after a few goes they helped my form so much and barely feel any leg pain now

Katt, I'm very new to diving and a bit worried. I'm buying a pony bottle setup, are there any you could recommend? Also, what do you think of the latest 6cu ft spare air? I'm thinking that or a 19cu ft, pony.

Hi Katt! Recently I just bought a pair of fins and boots, because I normally wear shoes that are bigger and have some space in front, then I bought the boots in the same way... Later I tried them in the pool I realised my feet were not fixed in those boots which made a bit harder to swim... Do you have any suggestions that can improve this?? Thank you in advance!!

Hello Katt. I know this is an Old Video. Last Sat I had a Snorkeling Class held by a local Dive Shop. Bought my own gear. As I i need Rx Lenses. Things went pretty well. Considering I have gone snorkeling in about 30 years. Until, I went to Tread Water in the Deep End. Developed Cramps in my Calves. I was able to get myself out of the middle to the ladder. Wonder if maybe the Fins I was using were the cause? Sherwood Elite FF. Stiffer than I am used to. Got some Good Speed out of them. Wonder if I started with the Rubber or Split Fins first?? There was also a Scuba Class going on. At Least 12 Divers in the pool. Working around each other. Wasn't an Olympic Sized pool. L Shaped at a local Swim Club.

very nice👏👏👏

On a snorkel are you allowed a drain valve on your snorkel

Hi Katt, I'm actually looking to get a snorkel for my dive and saw this video. So Scubapro spectra dry snorkel is not encouraged since it comes with the dry top thingy u mentioned?

Can you explain to me why u even need a snorkel if u have oxygen? Looking to get into scuba diving and just do understand the why or what use it would have

@OceanPancake

You would use the snorkel on the surface, before descending to your dive, swimming to the designated descent spot, and just in case you surface far away from the boat. The snorkel helps keep your airway clear incase of large waves

I always think regs are more personal than a bcd, so I would go for regs. You will know the service history, where the mouth piece has been and don't forget regs are a life saving bit of equipment, so they need to be looked after!

I have my own mask, snorkel, and fins. I also have my own dive computer, dive skin, boots, and gloves. I plan to buy a wetsuit very soon.

Hey Katt, I've been diving for quite a while now, and when I started I didn't know that I was going to be all serious and all, so I (just) invested in Scubapro Jet Sport fins (which is not bad at all), but seeing your video and seeing many divers using the Scubapro Seawing Nova, I feel really jealous (they look so cool). I haven't tried diving with the Seawing Nova yet, but my question is, is it really that good? Is it worth to upgrade from my Scubapro Jet Sport that I already own? By the way, check out my latest dive, close to a popular landmark in Timor-Leste, the Cristo Rei Statue: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mXV9t5OvcpbAoZs.html.

Personally, I think the seawing novas are miles ahead the jet sport. Jet sports are a good basic fin, they do the job, are not too heavily and generally durable. When selling in the shop, they would be my go to fin for starting divers. The seawing novas however do give you a significant amount of power with minimal effort, they look cool and the amount of engineering that has gone into them to make them this efficient is fantastic. I absolutely love them and have met very few people who were unhappy with them. If you ever give them a try, you will find the jetsports heavy in the water and giving you less propulsion. If you do have a chance, I would say ask to borrow some from a felow diver :)
