One of the main reasons we headed to Cancun was to get our PADI Open Water Divers Certification! Going into this we were both so scared at what scuba diving would actually be like.
Turns out it was ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS we have ever made. However we had to complete these skills before we could become certified:
Dive Equipment Assembly Put on dive equipment using proper technique Buddy Check Giant Stride Entry Inflate/Deflate BCD at the Surface Buoyancy Check at the Surface No Mask Breathing Surface Snorkeling 5 Point Descent Over Sensitive Bottom Regulator Clearing Two Methods Regulator Removal & Recovery Partially Flooded Mask Alternate Air Source Stationary for 30 Seconds Swim Maintaining Buoyancy Air Check Skin Dive Snorkel to Regulator Exchange Fully Flooded Mask Mask Removal & Replacement Air Depletion & Signal Mask Removal & Replacement for 1 Minute Exit Using the Ladder Cramp Release at the Surface (with a buddy) Neutrally Buoyant (Fin Pivot LPI - Optional) Cramp Release Underwater (with a buddy) Hover for 30 seconds Alternate Air Source Swim for 1 Minute (with a buddy) CESA - Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent Tired Diver Tow 25 Meters Scuba Unit Removal & Replacement at the Surface Hover Orally Inflate for 1 Minute Free Flowing Regulator for 30 Seconds No Mask Swim Emergency Weight Belt Drop Weight Belt Removal and Replacement Underwater Scuba Unit Removal and Replacement Underwater PADI Mini Dive PADI 5 Point Ascent Orally Inflate the BCD at the Surface Equipment Disassembly
We hope this video inspires you to become scuba certified and thank you so much for watching!
We are Jacob and Jenny Warren! We are passionate about traveling the world. We started vlogging our travels in May, 2021 with a goal in mind to travel the world. After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, we realized the time was right to quit our jobs and travel full time. In late 2021, we left everything to become full time travel vloggers and we've loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit many countries as possible. We hope you will follow along on our journey and that we can inspire you to travel in your own country or around the world!
