anna_schmitt_course_director Debriefing is my cherry on top of the “diving cake”, I love debriefings.

I truly believe that debriefing:

- is a great learning tool

- must be a part of at least 90% of the dives, including fun dives

- increases learning efficiency to an unexpected level

- is often underestimated by many divers

- increases the ability to judge different circumstances, even those you never dived before.

- trains your environmental awareness
- makes you a safer diver in all aspects
When you can reflect on the dive, and find out what you can do better next time, it always adds one extra coin in the SAFETY pot.

🌟 Those who shared with me our debriefings, send me in the comments your thoughts about it. Very curious to know how you feel about it, what did you learn from it?
What are your biggest insights?
Do you run your own debriefings?

anna_schmitt_course_director 16 years of diving. Over a thousand of you took beginner and advanced courses with me; thousands of dives we shared in these years; hundreds of you I helped to overcome Aquaphobia and your entire life changed, a strength deep inside you was born, and you changed forever.
Hundreds of Divemaster and Instructor candidates took my experience and knowledge with them, and yet most of you have never dived with me.

This video is very special to me. Here you see diving through my eyes, here you can see what I love the most. Things I will never get tired of.

In this video precious underwater moments of my total happiness.

I can watch endless scenes of glass fish living their lives.
I never get tired of searching for tiny invisible shrimps.
I can forget about the time looking at the” oily surface” of the water just before sunset.

It is my true happiness to notice all these little things in the water and still enjoy them after so many years spent underwater.

Nothing of that could be done without reliable @daneurope, dive safe.

anna_schmitt_course_director This skill is introduced in Confined Water #2 in the PADI Scuba Diver/OWD Course
Proper weighting
At the surface, in water too deep to stand, have student divers practice weighing for neutral buoyancy. They should float at eye level at the surface with no or minimal air in the BCD while holding normal breath.

This skill is crucial for comfort and safety during the dive.
•Being overweight will make it difficult to maintain buoyancy control.
•Being underweight might lead to a struggle at the end of the dive and an uncontrolled ascent.

✅SIGN UP FOR THE NEXT OWD COURSE, pm me for more details.

anna_schmitt_course_director Free Flow Regulator

This skill may appear simple, but it carries significant meaning.

Any idea why you need to breathe through the FFR for 30 seconds?

anna_schmitt_course_director **Safety First**

In my opinion, a dive is not truly finished until you are completely out of the water, not just when you reach the surface.

This is a skill that many divers often underestimate.

For diving activities, I prefer a boat equipped with T-ladders. This design allows divers to exit the water efficiently and quickly while still wearing their fins.

Here’s a checklist for a safe exit:

- Fins on
- Mask on
- Regulator in your mouth
- BCD inflated

You should only approach the ladder when it is clear of other divers.

Make sure to distribute your weight properly across your knees, hips, and spine, and keep your core engaged.

Of course, there can be exceptions based on specific situations, configurations, or medical conditions that might influence your choice. However, this method is effective 99% of the time, as demonstrated in the video.

Follow for more diving tips!
