Diving Tips From Experienced SB Divers to nOObies

[Diversion]

Always ascend slowly and in control.

 

[Roz Amos]

Dive as much as you can, and practice, practice, practice!

Skills - eg on a safety stop try some of the skills done in OW class - out of air, mask removal and clear - that way you can improve without sacrificing the dive to drills.

Diving - just go (assuming it does not look dangerous!) - poor conditions can be good training, and will make you appreciate the best days more.

Keep learning—your training/learning should not stop automatically after you are certified.

Learn proper trim. Underwater you should look like a skydiver before deploying their chute. You will use far less air swimming around, and its easier to ascend more slowly (officially "a good thing").

Just what consitutes "Experenced Divers"? In Professional diving, 500 dives is a newbie!
My advice is get more bottom time...Dive often! The more You dive the more relaxed You will become and diving will become second nature to think everything through BEFORE doing it..........B

If you don't know, ask. Be it about the site or a new buddies gear.Its much easier on the surface then at depth.

Before you get out of the water put your mask around your neck and clean your face. especially around the nose area.
