Normally a trainee will be initially overcome with the many facts and figures involved. Not surprising, the trainees are amped about diving and want to learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible. We do recognize the sentiment, but it is imperative to know all of the specifics and from whence they came. The matter of consistent and believable data has been addressed with the internet for apparent motives. Reasonable persons will at times distribute information that may be confusing or false. Just remember to be positive that your resources are from a reliable source.

Those that have been diving for many years understand the benefit of controlling their breathing so that they use less air; doing so will stretch out the amount of time they are able to enjoy their dive. Although you might think that you would have to modify your breathing to use less air, veterans understand that breathing normally is what does the trick. It is the inexperienced diver who typically does just the opposite.

One tip that you can really benefit from t to learn how to be mutually buoyant when performing a 15 foot safety stop in the water. The best way to test buoyancy is to actually suit up with an almost empty tank at the surface level. Additionally, slightly negative buoyancy could be established using a buoyancy compensator; to do this you need to have no air in the BC, your lungs only half-full, and the tank completely full of air at the surface level.

Another thing to be careful of is using excessive weights that are on your belt. Never use anymore than 2 pounds of weight on your belt when going on a dive. No matter how you find the right level of buoyancy, always experiment until you get it perfect.

This technique is most effective by doing it ahead of time so that your ears are pre-pressurized. You will notice that equalization is easily accomplished when you do this before your descent.

Of course there are so many more scuba diving suggestions, tips and recommendations available. You should always keep learning while taking every opportunity to gain more experience. And finally, always remember to take a buddy along with you on every dive that you go on to make sure that you are as safe as possible.
