Discover Scuba Class | SCUBA 101

In this newest episode of SCUBA 101, Zach-of-all-Trades Peterson goes on his first dive by taking a Discover Scuba class at Sunset House in Grand Cayman. Discover scuba is basically a shortened version of a scuba certification class that allows people to try diving to see if they like it before they commit to the entire course. Let's see if Zach likes it!!

In the new series SCUBA 101, Jonathan (and sometimes Todd and Zach) will be discussing the technology, physiology and equipment of scuba diving. These videos are designed for entertainment purposes only. They should not be considered a replacement or substitute for professional scuba training.

JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD is an Emmy Award-winning underwater science/adventure series featuring underwater cinematographer/naturalist Jonathan Bird.

I took a discover scuba course in 2010 and fell in love with it. Later that week, I enrolled in the open water course and ended up getting up certified a couple of months later. Learning how to dive was the best decision I ever made.

I took the Discover Scuba class in the summer of 2016 at the Turks and Caicos Islands! Needless to say, when we went back the next year I got my Open Water certification and then my nitrox certification afterward through my college's scuba club! It's too much fun!

Scuba diving has to be the best hobby. Exploring 70 percent of planet earth and spending time with fish and all aqua life.

[Andrew_H]

I just have to say to you thank you so much for making me want to go scuba diving a long as i can remember and now i am finally advanced open water because of you thank you so much

[RaptorsBlood]

My teenager (wow when did I get two of them) just got signed up for a discover scuba for his 13th birthday adventure

[alisons]

I took this class 2 years ago in Key Largo, Florida!

On 'freaking out' when removing the mask, a hint: move your head to the side a bit.
the reason why I say this is cause of your nose. with a straight head, the bubbles you create while exhaling will end up passing your nose. which can feel very uncomfortable cause it pushes some water into it. and that's where people freak out.
but by moving your head to the side a bit, the bubbles will choose the path of least resistance and will pass next to your nose (over your cheek and side of your face). which is ridiculously more comfortable when you need to replace or recover your mask underwater :P

So, when I drag my hubby (looks like cameraman Tim!) to some tourist destination, like Maui, cause my two best friends live there, could we get geared up, a short tutorial, and then a little guided scuba dive? Is this the kind of quick tutorial tourists take to be able to scuba? Oh, I will definitely take the tutorial as well. Heck, 40 years ago is when I got certified, even have a card so I could have gotten air tanks filled.

I don't remember hubby being anywhere near me when snorkeling. Why is that? I don't remember him swimming in a pool with me? I'll start with snorkeling and work up to trying scuba. We got married in Maui, 16 years ago and at that time the waters were in a horrid algae bloom (nitrogen runoff from golf courses!). He bought me a ticket for a tandem ride in a paraglider. I was a lot afraid of jumping out of planes. Didn't jump out of a plane either. Wasn't scary at all. So he has been informed he has to try to do scuba, once, with me. Poor dude! He's watched all of your episodes, without falling asleep!

I loved this class

It was so much fun to go underwater and breathe did have some trouble equalizing tho but I also took the regulator out of my mouth a lot have doing it once I was doing it like second nature

If I didn’t find Blue world, I don’t think I would want to be a marine biologist

[SweeperLP]

This old school "shark academy" theme😍😍🤙

[jonathansantos]

Wow, does learning how to do those bubble rings part of the class?

Thanks for the video. It might help lots of people.

[AQUADOMIA]

Hello thank you for your video, a very good one. I am a french scuba instructor and I really appreciate your channel :-) :-)

[MultiHunterOne]

How on earth do you make those rings, those are so cool. I'm going to impress my dive buddies next time I go diving!

[einarscolorfulchannel]

Hi, i really want to dive with you. Next Time😊😊😊😊

[MWCrim]

I did a one-day scuba calas and I want to get certified

[ryanplaysmarinelifeandmore]

Why is it so that I just said last video that I was trying scuba diving and Johnathan did this video?!

[westonhuffman]

Well, Unfortunately my area doesn't have a brick and mortar scuba shop with Discover Scuba Diving available.

[BattleSisterFromage]

scuba diving is awesome, but i have to lose some blubber before trying it again. carrying 16lbs weight belt down isn't fun.

[pigmangamersanderson]

well guess what i have a scuba instructor thats gonna teach me and then i can get certified

[terrykaracostas]

I had heart surgery can I still go diving I have a triple bypasses and one stent
