Hahaha I feel you 😅✨

Lol I always watch videos before a dive

literally same

Same here, I keep forgetting. 😂

Definitely. Mee tooo. Lol. Ugghh. Feel dumb sometimes. Lol

Sorry dear am a professional, cmas course director, PADI instructor, Tec dive instructor, former army diver, owner of a diving center, certified over 5000 students including instructors. With over 20000 dives. Open your tank and close a 1/4 turn is the proper way. The only thing he has done wrong is purge the 2nd stage when opening the tank to avoid sudden high pressure to the piston of the 1st stage. Also inflate BCD and leave for something minutes to check if there's any puncture then test the lpi ( both ways 1st deflate with lpi push button then deflate by pulling lpi hope) inflate and deflate again. Inflate again and check both quick purge. Check all buckles. Breath in both 2nd stage and octopus to check they're working properly at the same time check the quality of the air in the tank. When you breath the spg needle must not move. If it moves it indicates that may be the spg in not ok or the tank isn't properly open or 1st stage problem

@@odeltarkhan3033 what is the point of the quarter turn?

@@johnmartin2992 please check my posts I already replied to this question 3 times.

@@odeltarkhan3033 Most places have stopped teaching the back a 1/4 turn. I agree with everything else you said, but the the valve is very unlikely to stick if you open it all the way. What is more likely is confusion of a buddy diver on whether the valve is open or closed. Say for example a diver suddenly has problems with airflow, maybe they didn't open the valve fully etc, a fully open or full closed valve is an immediate indication to a buddy. If it doesn't turn one way the buddy knows it is either fully closed (thus causing the issue), or fully open and so the problem is something else. The 1/4 turn just adds confusion, that way the valve is floating between open and closed and the buddy might not know if they are opening or closing the valve. Each to their own, but this is like CPR, it gets updated every few years with new rules and guidance.

@@ciaranocallaghan5113 I agree with you mostly 1/4 turn was done to avoid confusion. In professional diving it was done to protect from freezing and to avoid damages when tangle in something like in cave diving, police or army rescue

Would this help me when I go to like BUDs

a tip: watch movies at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.

@Maddox Drew Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D

@Maddox Drew yea, I have been using Flixzone} for years myself :)

@Maddox Drew yup, I've been using flixzone} for years myself :D

you're wrong, it's standard practice for safety

@@and16and please explain how it increases safety..

@@Aidanhallbass because your buddy is supposed to check the tank. If you open it completely he might close it accidentally

@@hicrhodushicsalta4382 nope, I still disagree. It could be confusing for your buddy if opened 1/4 turn and could accidentally be turned off

@@Aidanhallbass Been diving for over 30 years with over 10,000 immersions. Have yet to find someone confused by the 1/4 turn and your claim it is dangerous is hyperbolic. There is no danger in a 1/4 turn back when the valve is already several rotations own. The reason you should not peg the valve all the way open it is the same reason you do not go 100% with most mechanical equipment, and that is having a margin of error for mechanical failure in the case of the unknown shit that can happen in the unforgiving environment that can be the salty sea. The other reason is that when it is pegged, it is hard to know which direction it is pegged (open or close) when the system is already charged. If the valve has give, you know the valve is open and is supplying air.

I think the "getting-in" clip is just decorational. There are a lot more things to be done before diving. Checking the diving place (first aid things locations etc), dive briefing, buddycheck,... For setting up your dive gear there is a more indepth procedure than this video shows. First your should try to breathe without pressure on it, to check the outgoing valves are sealing properly. Then open the valve while having the purge button on one breathing-thing (don't know English name) pressed in, once the air start coming out release the purge button. This is to prevent a big shock of pressure on all the equipment. Then you should smell te air to see if nothing is wrong with the air. Then you breathe through the primary and backup breathing-things. And check the gauge that the needle is not moving. I think they should take this video offline as it's misleading and a cause for dangerous situations due to being incomplete.

Razor 404 no not really

Your wrong because fully open puts too much stress on the seat supporting the valve...study with a technician to understand this

Hai nama kamu siapa dan rumah kamu ada di kota mana?

On some of the newer valves, opening all the way is ok. In fact, some even have an indicator for valve position. However, older valves should be fully opened to turned clockwise about 1/4 turn.

@@kevinmcgrath127 BS Why not ask the manufacturer. You think valves are designed to not handle tank pressure?

I actually always wondered about the quarter turn. Thank you for the description; that makes a lot of sense.

The 1/4 turn back was from the old pillar valves in the 1960s that would sometimes get stuck if they were left turned on "hard." But it's not only unnecessary with modern valves, it's actually dangerous and is no longer recommended, although many instructors still teach it because they don't know any better. "That's how we've always done it." How is it dangerous? Let's say you accidentally turn the valve the wrong way, turning it off, and then back 1/4 to just barely on. You take a test breath and you get air, and your pressure gauge shows full pressure, so down you go. Now you're down at 60 feet where you need a LOT of air with each breath, but your flow is restricted because your valve is only 1/4 open. Since 1/4-from-full-on feels the same as 1/4-from-full-off when you turn the handle, other than the direction you turn...DON'T DO IT! Turn it all the way on, or all the way off and you'll never have a problem. 100% open is now standard teaching from PADI, NAUI, SSI, DAN, etc. for a good reason. There is NO good reason to turn back 1/4.

@@seikibrian8641 YES ! Exactly old school that can't get it out their head about 1/4 turn.

Seriously, if you don't know which direction to turn a tank valve, you need to get out of the water!

Yeah you can talk because you aren't a diving center owner and have no Idea how many dumb divers try to open a tank that is already open and damage the tank valve. Then like a fool I have to empty the tank completely to repair the tank valve

Yeah how many people suffered from deco sickness or illness due to lack of knowledge????? Same as life diving evolve mate. Every time there's something new to increase diving safety. 40 years ago people were diving without octopus (spare regulatory) and diving with fenzy instead of BCD jacket. Suits were hard like rock but still couldn't keep you warm as required. Today suits are light and neoprene or plastic for dry suit

@@odeltarkhan3033 Must not have had a good instructor. If a diver doesn't know which way to turn a tank valve they shouldn't be diving. And nobody cares you own a shop blah blah blah

@@scubaeric2820 really your knowledge is very low. You really sound stupid. Even instructors make mistake because they are over confident. On a 6 months trip in Thailand the amount of divers doing the water entry without opening their tanks. You sound to be a week end or holiday diver. Seriously I really wish to know your experience in diving cause you seem to have none. And for any decent diving sir you mess with their equipment they will refund you and ask you to leave. And for your knowledge in the diving professional world certified divers don't mean experienced divers. You know how many diving centers do the illegal practice of certifying divers who didn't pass the exams. In some parts of the world you are certified as long as you pay. In hotels and busy diving destination being certified doesn't not depend on whether you pass the exams but as long as you pay you get certified which is very unsafe and illegal practice. I have seen seen diving center licking celebrities singers actors political figures feet. These people will decide how their course will be carried on and for some diving centers it's ok with them. You have no idea of the diving business mate you're just talking to make noise. Seriously why the hell exam b exists????? If you fail you learn again there should not be any exam b. It's like the diving federation cares for your money not your safety. You fail exam A oh no not a big deal we also have exam b. Most certified open water divers lack experience. I certified over 5000 students including instructors and with over 20000 dives under my belt. AND BY THE WAY IF YOU WERE IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD OF DIVING YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT A DIVER'S BEHAVIOUR DOESN'T NOT DEPEND ON HIS CERTIFICATION LEVEL BUT ON HIS CHARACTER. SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY RECKLESS IN LIFE AND IN DIVING TOO. TRY TO DIVE WITH A CELEBRITY OR A HIGH CLASS BUSINESSMAN IF YOU DON'T HAVE PATIENCE AND AUTHORITY YOU WILL END UP TELLING HIM TO LEAVE YOUR PREMISES.

And with more modern computers for diving,when you turn the air on you put the screen on top of your BCD and face the screen down.

Take a lesson and you will

Yes, but that's not part of "assembling your equipment." That comes in the next phase, "the buddy check."

@@seikibrian8641 , what is buddy? Am seeing it's a term being used a lot in scuba diving

rgudduu it is the person diving with you

Mental its actually "Your command of the English language", your English is not so good.

I believe the video is titled "Scuba Diving: How to Assemble Equipment" not "How to check if your scuba diving equipment works". The author is okay and the video isn't instructing you to jump in the water after those steps. It's more about clarifying how set it up.

Enderrs "Mental its actually "Your command of the English language", your English is not so good." You command isn't that great, either. "Its" is a pronoun like "his" or "her." The word you should have used is "it's," which is a contraction of "it is." You also wrote a run-on sentence. There should have been a period (also known as a full stop), not a comma, after your quote, and the next sentence should have started with an uppercase Y.

Yes because when u disassemble, it would be easier to remove the regulator from the tank

yup !

never open air valve , all the way . one quarter turn back .. or it can get stuck in open position .. on your tank ...

The reason you should not peg the valve all the way open it is the same reason you do not go 100% with most mechanical equipment, and that is having a margin of error for mechanical failure in the case of the unknown shit that can happen in the unforgiving environment that can be the salty sea. The other reason is that when it is pegged, it is hard to know (during a check) which direction it is pegged (open or close) when the system is already charged. You could potential peg it closed. If the valve has give, you know the valve is open and is supplying air.

The video showed how to assemble the tank. BC and regulators.

Chill

***** IM chill now

+Connor Cunningham dude calm down ok

***** k

just calm down, i am licensed and im 16 but i haven't dived in a long time and forgot, just watching this video makes me recall all the stuff i have to do

A lot of what he said was wrong

Police nalang

Interpol nakakahiya ka

Dude, you are no where to old. I got certified when I was 13 and my dad was certified when he was in his early to mid fiftys. You are all good.

I got certified at 16 you're good

"Most people get certified when [they're] like 10." Nope. That's very young. Go to any scuba class that's not specific to kids and you'll see the average age is late teens to 20s. And that's just the average. In my class the youngest student was 13 and the oldest was 60.
