i’d take the lessons and go it the conventional way so as not to skip any important factors.
it would be tough to fit it all in on one week for the full open water certification. there is a lot of reading and videos to watch combined with the pool dives and the open water dives. it would be intense. i have doubt that any local dive shop would feel comfortable sending someone through that quick.
You may be able to get the limited “Scuba divers” card. but in my honest opinion that card is setting people up to get hurt. It just doesn’t teach enough
you have to be 14 to do your PADI as your lungs will be fully developed:)
I’m taking a 5month long course on scuba diving next semester and Ive never breathed underwater without a snorkel. It sounded awsome months ago but as it nears Im getting uber anxiety about the whole thing. If anyone has any suggestions to ease my conciense, could someone send me PM about what to expect and such?
you forgot to mention why back inflation is bad. When waiting at the surface of the water for a boat. It will force you face first into the water. You can lean it farther back to help keep the BCD from doing just that but still you have to use some effort in kicking so you stay up. Now if you’re looking for the top of the line BCD buy the Oceanic Out Trigger, watch a video explaining why & how it works as a back inflation and a jacket. OCEANIC OUT-TRIGGER its worth searching! believe me…
i have a back inflated BCD and it doesn’t push my face in to the water at the surface. So I would say you are doing something wrong if that happened to you. (floaty feet perhaps?) Body position under the water while diving is far superior with a back inflate.
It is very easy to do an Open Water class in under a week. When first learned to dive I did Open Water and Advanced Open Water in the same week.
Boyency Compensator Divce WTF it’s BCD = Boyency CONTROL!!! Divice DAMN! Expert my ***
Another thing the integrated weight aint as great as the belts cous if you have to make a Emergency Blow out you can not just clip it open and drop your weight and Get up with out grapping for it on the BCD Talking of exspirince
AWESOME!
I love my b.c.
I have a sherwood b.c. with weight integrated.

12 for padi, ollous.. CONTROL .. not whatever you said..
and stop color naming the bottons… it varys!
This video is nice for beginners to matter you are pursuing PADI or SSI or else..
Great, thanks!
one, you failed to spell buoyancy and device correctly, and the acronym can be used for either. Buoyancy compensating device is probably more common. You should try to have at least some validity to your assertions before making them Pete.
Stop saying “um” dude!
I have a problem. When i go snorkelling/scuba diving, i cant dive deep very far because of pressure in my sinuses, i have no problems equalizing pressure in my ears but my sinuses do no equalize at all. Please Help

1st you can swallow your sylavia pinch your nose and blow to equalize dont blow too hard, when you cant equalize at all when lets say at 10m you feel pain go to 7 to 8 m it will help dont dive too fast
