Any link to that folding snorkel?
Helpful, thanks!
Very professional and simple plus educational You mention that the Hydro test is every 5 years Unfortunately In Australia the most over governed over legislated diving industry in the world I am not sure if it is the aim of the government to destroy the recreational diving industry in Australia Many dive shops are closing in Australia not due to safety but excessive bureaucracy I personally have been a Dive Instructor since 1983 I no longer teach diving in Australia I am sure the diving industry in America is as safe or safer than Australia Its a shame we have great diving If you are interested to see what we dont want for the diving industry in other parts of the world have a look at To show you how absurd this legislation is A recreational SCUBA Instructor must have a Commercial Diver medical form a dive physician Imagine if you had a dive school like I did with 50 cylinders and they have to be hydro tested every 12 months plus an eddy flow test For reference www.worksafe.qld.gov.au/your-industry/diving-and-snorkelling/diving-laws
Too slow... most SMB and DSMB deployments are done for a reason...
Every time I come to tie something to a bolt snap, I find myself coming back here to make sure that I do it right. Well demonstrated, clear video. Cheers.
I watched 3 or 4 videos and yours was recorded from the best angle, best audio and with consistent focus.
I am about to start my DMT, and this video was exactly what I needed. Easy to follow. Thank you!
These Scubapro brand is the worst diving mask you can have. Easily water gets in and easily fogging and you can easily scratch the interior if you clean it or dry it with microfiber cloth. What is happening? First issue silicone not have the water protection edge that TUSA have always. And silicon is too thin= cannot manuvre safely and if you have beard or mustache water will get in!! Sizes are made for mini head people, like Asiatic origin! The second issue: on the interior of the Tglass they use ceramic coating = supposed to be hard but easily get scratches and easily get foggy!! So it’s not silicon left over and you need to clean it!! I hope I helped a lot of you ✌🏻
What brand do you recommend?
Excellent, I learned a lot. Thank you.
Great video, thanks 👍
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to your video, I've decided to buy it. Thank you
'obviously these are not mine because they are turquoise' fragile masculinity has spoken
The reasoning is that our owner - deb claims all turquoise gear! haha
Good vid. Where are you located?
No clothing?
Thats for another bag haha. Usually my carry on has my regulator, computer, camera, and clothing.
AI is trying bolt snaps now? AI really is going to take all of our jerbs.
Been using the same Air2 for 16 years. 800+ dives on it. Yes, I service it and it breaths well enough and always works when I test it. Have been in a situation to have to use it zero times, I use a high quality SP regulator system and don't dive with idiots. Pros and cons with everything, including Air2.
There are no pros to the AIR2, there are only cons. 1: There is no easily identifiable air source for the out-of-gas diver. 2: In order to deflate the BCD, you need to take your emergency air source out of your mouth. 3: You now have to donate your primary, which is on a shorter hose than your octo. 4: It's a lot more expensive than an octo. 5: Because it's attached to your corrugated BCD hose, your head movements are restricted. 6: It doesn't breathe as well as a normal octo. 7: The AIR2 is permanently attached to your BCD, not to your first stage regulator. When you take your regulators for service, the AIR2 is often forgotten. That increases the risk of it failing when you actually need it. It's a solution without a problem, and it makes things 10x more complicated in an out-of-gas emergency. You've got a panicked diver looking for a usable air source, can't find one, and will yank your primary out of your mouth. Now you've got to look for your alternate air. You find it on your left, put it in your mouth, and now you both need to make a safe ascend. As you ascend with a panicked diver in your face, you'll need to deflate your BCD, and every time you do you need to take your AIR2 out of your mouth. Get a normal octo. It's cheaper. It gets serviced with the rest of your regulator set. In an emergency the OOG diver knows what to reach for. He can keep a reasonable distance away from you, and your inflator/deflator works as expected. ---- If you're going to get into TEC diving, get a long hose setup. This takes a little extra time to set up, but is a major improvement over a normal octo. Your primary is on a long hose (150 or 210 cm / 5 or 7 ft). Your secondary is on a short hose (55 or 65 cm / 2 ft) on a bungee necklace. The primary long hose is routed under your right arm, across your chest, around the back of your neck, and into your mouth. You do have to take care that it doesn't get trapped under other hoses or gear, so it's the last thing you route before entering the water. In an OOG emergency you will donate your primary, which is on a much longer hose than your octo (90 cm / 3 ft), giving you a more comfortable distance from the panicked diver. You then switch over to your secondary, which is under your chin. This has the benefit that you're donating a regulator you know works. You've been breathing off of it. If you're using a 210 cm / 7 ft long hose, the OOG diver can even swim behind you without getting kicked in the groin or the face. This is the most expensive option of the three though, since you need to buy an extra normal second stage, replacement hoses, a bolt snap to stow the primary second stage, a bungee necklace, and possibly something to tuck the hose under when you're routing it. That could be a canister battery, a dive knife in a sheath, or a hose retainer bar. Cheapest and standard: Octopus More expensive and a bad idea: AIR2 Most expensive and most versatile: Long hose
I wouldn't necessarily say there aren't any pros to the Air 2. I dive with all 3 types of systems: Air 2, octo, long hose, sidemount, and twinset. On my travel BCD, you bet I'm going to have my Air 2. The Air 2 eliminates one hose (aka another failure point). No, it is nothing you are going to use for technical diving. As a tech diver, the only option for a secondary is complete independent first and second-stage regulators via side-mount or twinset. I did notice how you said "You've got a panicked diver looking for a usable air source, can't find one, and will yank your primary out of your mouth. ". That is the exact reason why the Air 2 is our choice of teaching for Open Water Students. We are taught to have our redundant air source in the triangle zone on the chest. Both SSI and SDI teach this way. In an actual out-of-air emergency what is going to happen, if a diver asks you to share air and wait for you to hand it to them? No. They are going to be panicking, as you stated. A panicked diver will rip out your primary source of air (that they know it works) and you'll have your Air 2 in the triangle ready for you to grab ;) You also mentioned, "In order to deflate the BCD, you need to take your emergency air source out of your mouth." Every BCD I've used has a dump valve cord on the right shoulder. It's not as crazy as you'd think to get serviced. Service kits from us are $28 and parts for life is available to every diver in the USA. I'm 100% not saying the Air 2 is the BEST system. However, it is available to RECREATIONAL divers who want a simplified system that is reliable. Scubapro has been making this product for nearly 50 years now and is basically the only innovator in scuba regulator technology. Scubapro launched the first adjustable regulator back in 1963, the first stabilizing jacket in 64, and of course the beautiful MK25 which still holds records to this day. I'd be happy to discuss this in further detail: [email protected]
Having a longer primary hose solves almost everything you stated. You also have 2-3 dump valves so there’s zero need to deflate from the Air2 in the rare chance you need to use your alternate air source.
You are very misled
@@ChrisD624 For non-penetration recreational dives I don't see the need for a 7ft hose. For overhead environments, 100% I will use a long hose. The term KISS would apply to my reasoning. Less moving parts = less possible failure points. In a tech diving situation either two independet systems are used or a bank system (twinset). Which both can be shut off for air loss, not recreational diving. The best thing about diving is anyone can dive how they would like! There is no SCUBA police and we've never had an issue ;)
I actually agree with you. The Air 2 will need additional instruction and in the use case, out of air diver, I don't think it's helpful to have an additional learning curve to the system. As we learned in the Rescue Diver course, people do weird things when they're panicked. Adding this additional layer can be hazardous to both divers in this situation. Just go with the normal stuff, the standard stuff.
Tomorrow will buy my first SCUBAPRO DRY. Happy to see this video :)
Let us know if you ever have any questions about your suit. We'd be happy to help - we are a Scubapro Platinum dealer located in Missouri.
Tenho um igual, super confortável gostei bastante da forma como o dobrou 👌
No fog? SOLD!
I was able to personalize my G2 over Bluetooth, the only item I couldn’t change was the start up picture. I can upload pictures to the G2 but haven’t been able to apply this change.
This is actually quite hard to do, the only way I have been able to successfully do this is by changing the picture you are trying to import to the same name as the startup picture file and making sure it is the same file type. I belive its a BMP file not JPEG or PNG.
Thanks
ur welcome
nice review.. do you the Go sport can handle current situations for Recreational diving ? Thanks
Yes, absolutely!
@@ExtremeSportsScubaMO thanks a lot for your advice..appreciated
Which standard do you apply for hydrostatic test?
What are you referring to as standard? This is just a DOT standard in the US.
At my hydro testing facility I’m testing about 1,000 cylinders a week
Love the Guardian and bought two.
this dude looks like he shoves these bolt snaps up his butt when no one is looking
Hi Does that mean you cannot manually inflate bcd with air 2?
I asked the same question at the store and the answer is Yes you can, but it will be really awkward to use it. In the case that your inflator fail, you will have to rely on using your primary on manually inflate.
You cover the vent with your hand.
You press the deflate button and blow into the mouthpiece. Just like a standard inflator. Think about it as a standard inflator in which you can breathe on.
Hi, This is by the best video comparing different 1st stages of scubapro. Thank you for that. I am considering to buy MK17. However, I have found 2 options there, MK17 and MK17 Evo. Is there a difference between them? Since their Evo line up mainly means the blue coating preventing ice build, how would they do that in a diaphragm design when it is already sealed? Also, if MK11 is also diaphragm design, doesn't it inherently make it sealed? I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer those. Cheers
👌🏽
water is used because air/gas is compressible.
Actually liquids are compressible as well. Just less than air. All molecules are compressible. This is how we’re able to control the pressure of water inside the hydro chamber. Water is used because it takes less than 30 seconds to compress it vs ~10 min for air. Air also creates much more heat due to its density.
That’s how CNC machines work, by compressing water.
@@drakeweston1031 yes of course. the context is fluid relative to air.
@@drakeweston1031 bro... What? Water is regarded as incompressible, at my work we test hoses up to 20k psi or more and there is around 0% compression on the water in the hoses, if the water was compressed the pressure would drop.
The hydrotester is my dad lol
I tried another video just before, the knot was loose, this one is perfect thx
Hi ! Could you please repeat the reference of the first tool that you are showing at 4:42 min ? Also, what are you using to attach it to your regulator ?
Spit in it, rub it around then do a mask clear when you jump in, works fine and cheaper.
how to make it not dangling around when clipped though
We recommend using bike innertube!
if you bring the bottom ends back through the bolt snap when initially securing the tie you get the same knot without having to go around the bolt snap lol. Wish I could post a pic/vid to show
Great review!
Two other nice things about the X-Deep bolt snaps.. 1. Line can't get caught on the lever. A standard bolt snap has an opening that a line (reel line, fishing line, etc) can get hung up on. 2. The X-Deep snaps are thinner at the snap opening and that allows you to clip it to the reel as many divers do, without having to remove as much line from the reel when it's new. Added to everything you mentioned these are awesome snaps!!
Great points Larry! We absolutely love them and why they might be slightly more in price, we’re seeing a lot of divers select them over the standard boat snaps that we are used to because of all the benefits.
Awesome!!!!!
This is EXACTLY how it should be done - Thx
We appreciate it! It’s cheap, simple, and can be done in less than 2 minutes.
hmmm gotta b an easier way to attach
Oh there are definitely easier ways! Such as a zip tie. However zip ties break when twisted 90 degrees. This is also a very affordable option. Items like retractors and magnetic clips can get costly and be extra entanglement. Thanks for the comment!
nice job gretting from Chile
Thanks for the kind words!
simpler solution would just to get a pilots license and fly yourself
I am learning now and have jacket style and on the surface it still wants to push my face forward
At this point we would recommend checking weight placement, rather if you have trim pockets, adding 4lbs could make it easier to rest on your back. However this will change your trim underwater!
@@ExtremeSportsScubaMO I do have trim pockets. Using 2x5lbs now so might try 2 lbs in all 4 pockets
Lol, women are smarter than men..
Extreme!how iis it going?! you made top ~ =))
‘sup?, love it!good ! goodbye!-
Love it. amazing ,see you later.Extreme~
woohoo. bravo~useul view.farewell.:)
