Thanks for the wake-up call, Mark. My last dive was with a friend with vast experience (7, 500+ dives) but with whom I had not previously dived. While kitting up we covered all the usual bases (the dive plan, hand signals, out of air procedures, etc, etc). Looking back, I now realize that (thankfully) we both did a thorough pre-dive check of our own gear before jumping in but never actually did a buddy check. Why not? I have my own thoughts but none rise to the level of justification. Just do it!

Hey Mark. It's been a while! Been working in a remote camp up northern Canada! I found you when I did my open water and watched you right up tell I got to busy in the commercial world! This year I started my own commercial diving bisness! You (and Shaun) have been a large part of this journey. Thanks for the inspiration bud.

This helps so much. I’ve wanted to become an instructor since I started five years ago. I’ve pulled the trigger and starting SSI stress and rescue diver training.
Thank you for all you are doing for the diving industry.

[fitdoc]

Thank you for the video. I am currently doing the PADI open water diver course, and this information is really helpful!

[hendrie]

This actually nice. Just git my open water certification. And I really want to take diving seriously so it's nice to know all these things.

[kennethjmcarthur]

Great points, Mark. You delved between the black n white and into the common sense. Many dive people get too extreme with the simplest things. The extremes of surfacing to see who has the most gas left vs a snorkel while waiting for everyone in the group to get into the water and waiting for everyone to surface after the dive. Lots to think about. Thanks.

Really good list and no repeats of the standard ones - although possibly still worth reinforcing "don't turn your tank valve back a quarter turn", and "stop using cyclinder gad to blast your regulator cap".

[zstanman]

Just got back from Roatan. We had a guy in the group who we all nicknamed "crash" because he just constantly bumped, crowded, kicked and blocked other divers. He was the nicest guy in the world but under water seemed to have absolutely no self awareness at all.

[mikecurtis]

These are actually really solid tips. I've been diving a long time, and I've been guilty of couple of these, and I've seen all of them.

[faustphilippineadventures]

Great list, and your advice around them is wonderful Two thumbs up.

[TheSmileyTek]

I usually clip my mask and computer to my d-ring with the spg bolt snap when prepping my gear. I've hopped in once without my computer on my wrist, and boom, it was on my bolt snap, right there on my chest, and I avoided having to ask someone to hand it to me. 😊. Only time I've ever done that, but it was still with me on my d-ring. I even hook my reg to my BC to keep it from getting beat up or sat on. Some divers spread out into other diver's space. It's typical newer divers, but it's all good. More divers, more dive buddies.

[Paul-ufyq]

It's my first time to listen to you just now. I'll continue, you seem interesting
Im currently diving the wrecks in subic bay philipines

A tip for fire-coral burns. Its a protein based poison, so best way to defeat it is heat. Get a face flannel or cloth and put it in as hot water as you can stand (60C+) and keep it there for 20 mins, reheating as necessary.

[Paglov]

Short. Sharp. Brilliant. Kudos for the video.

[jasonkennedy]

Thanks Mark, great tips and been guilty myself of a couple.
I noticed your furry shark in the background of your vids, I have the same one (for about 10 years), and he’s called Bruce 😎
Keep them coming… cheers 🍻 Jase 👍

If I may add one more point which I faced previously and it was not explained during obtaining my certificates. Mask squeezing issue and how to prevent it from happening. This will occur when the mask is over tightened and due to underwater pressure, the mask will definitely squeeze on your face. In this case normally you would exhale gradually with your nose to add air in the mask. Also avoid inhaling from your nose at all time.

The modern ‘F around and find out’ honestly made me laugh. I’ve gotta agree on these, I’ve done sone of them myself as you said.

It only takes one time for something not to be right and it might end horribly

20 dives to get your aow? allows you to go below 60'.
my biggest pet peeve is using your hands to swim its diving not swimming

[magaisacult]

bad habit....taking regulator out of mouth and taking mask off face before climbing back on boat....a good wave hits you in the face, you panic, flail, can't reach reg....people have drown with a partial tank still on their back!

[jakeman]

One I see a lot is divers stood in shallow water getting fins on with no reg in. All well and good untill you fall over with heavy kit on.
