100% agree that everyone should get certified! Happy bubbles 🫧

Do some people not get certified before diving? 😮

​@chamade166 you can have the dive shops train you for a few hrs in a pool and then take you out on a "FUN DIVE". I would 100% recommend getting at a minimum your OPEN WATER CERT b4 going out diving

She was less than 10 dives here and it took her a few seconds to remember what to do. Everyone is safe and sound. Thanks for watching

@@2canucksthatlovetotravel Very good, if she was being monitored it's good to get used to depth and buyoancy, someone only grows if it is chalenged, diving always on the same place with the same rotine can be safe but as the other side to give a false sense of security in skills.

@evolvedmonkey9978 definitely a great learning opportunity 👍

Awwwww. Thank you. We took our gopro hero10 with the underwater case and it was fine. We still consider ourselves beginners too! Have a blast. You are going to LOVE it ❤️

Don’t attempt drift diving without getting a specialization in drift diving AFTER you get open water certified

depends how comfortable you are in the water, if you have been swimming/playing water sports all your life, the camera is not going to affect you much as everything else is already second nature. I would suggest you bring along the camera and if you feel overwhelmed then just focus on the dive instead. it doesn't hurt to bring along

@@joesr31 great advice!

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Ends up I didn't bring GoPro because the instructor doesn't allow us to do that. But it's a correct decision because as a newbie I was busy equalizing and removing water from the mask, and also swim by holding my arms to the front, so my hands won't be free to hold a camera 😂

No.... we were around on the north west side of the island that dive. You will love diving in Penida. Don't be afraid. The dive masters will only take you where it will be safe

No. Beginners should not try drift diving. The dive masters will take you on a dive that is suited to your skill level.

@@2canucksthatlovetotravel so are there dives in komodo which is for beginners or to do a discovery dive

@ypurpose5538 yes there are most definitely fun dives designed for beginners! You will absolutely love it

@@2canucksthatlovetotravel ok thankyou so much for the reply

💯 agreed. I wouldn't go out without an open water certification

@@2canucksthatlovetotravel drift dives are the best, like a lazy river for cool kids 😎

Yes they will take you diving if you are NOT certified. You will have to spend a couple of hours learning to dive in a pool. Once you finish they will take you out to do a couple of FUN DIVES. It is amazing!! Have a great vacation and enjoy the scuba Diving! Happy bubbles 🫧

Yes but it will be with someone certified who will take you and they teach you basic things before hand

Honestly I don't think a discover scuba dive as it is called is the best way to experience diving. You won't be trained to dive independently. It only takes 3 days to get certified. Do the theory online at home and then all you have left is a half day pool session and 4 open water dives. You don't need to finish everything in one stretch. You could do dives 3 and 4 several weeks later if you want. And if time really is an issue for you you could also cram the practical parts into 2 days: pool session in the morning, dive 1 in the afternoon and then 3 dives on the second day. Keep an eye on the quality of your course though. Read reviews of dive schools before entering a course. Don't choose the cheapest place as they will certainly have made too many compromises with their equipment. Ask if you can see the equipment before signing up and check if it looks properly maintained. Penida is an amazing place for diving. World class! I did hundreds of dives around Penida alone. I worked as an instructor from Bali. Hence my username here on YT. 😉 Beware though. Penida has challenging conditions. I strongly recommend getting certified in Bali first. Bali has plenty of dive sites suitable for beginners. Penida can be very tricky. Especially Crystal Bay can change from calm and quiet to pretty wild in an instant. Lembongan is awesome for diving too but has even stronger currents that can flip entirely in a matter of minutes. Once you are comfortable under water go with an experienced guide as they can avoid trouble and show the best places. Keep in mind. Most diving accidents happen at the surface. The most important rule for diving is to never hold your breath. But since people do that automatically anyway the most important rule to apply consciously is to always inflate your bcd at the surface immediately after surfacing and to do that before anything else. Always! Happy diving!

You can do anything without learning, but thats not just playing around, diving can be dangerous and its really risky if you dont know what you are doing

No its dumb and dangerous do a dsd or an open water

We are only Open water certified.... 60 feet or 18 meters! We hope to complete our Advanced Open water this summer.... then it will be 30m! Do you dive?

@@2canucksthatlovetotravel no brother ....i don't

@___Ismile Ahmed--- hopefully we can inspire you to get certified. We have fallen in love with scuba diving! Thank you for watching 🙏

I'm a AOW diver snd i can tell it's scary
