Jumpstart the Divemaster In You: Tips to Make Your Air Last Longer And More
About The Series: "Jumpstart the Divemaster in You"
This series of 7 booklets (or 2 value priced boxed sets) is aimed at the new scuba diver or the diver that has been away from the sport for an extended period of time and needs a refresher. Each booklet is full of practical and easy to follow tips that are designed to improve specific dive skills, increase the divers confidence and allow the diver to get the most out of his/her diving.
Each booklet is written in plain English and is not simply a rehash of what was taught in your scuba certification course. Instead, these scuba lessons are the 100% practical real life side of diving. The author relates many real life stories throughout all the booklets and tells what she has observed and learned during her diving career. Her conversational way of writing makes it easy to learn from her experiences - and her mistakes. It's like having a down-to-earth friend give pointers, answer questions and offer advice that you can easily relate to because the author has been in your position.
About The Booklet: Jumpstart the Divemaster in You - Tips to Make Your Air Last Longer And More
(31 printed pages; 13,515 words)
Going through a tank of air quickly is a common problem among new divers and divers that are returning to the sport after a prolonged period. The good news is that you don't have to wait until you have hundreds of dives under your belt to improve your air consumption.
In this booklet you will find 100% practical, achievable steps you can take on your next dive that will start to help you conserve your air and increase your bottom time. So if you are tired of having to cut your dive short, having to surface before the rest of the dive group or just stressing out about your air toward the end of a dive, this booklet is for you.
In Part #1 you will find 13 surefire tips to improve your air consumption and increase your bottom time. You will discover:
*the proper scuba breathing technique that can extend the life of your tank
*the single most effective action to take if you want to stay down longer
*how to use the science of movement to decrease air intake
*what you shouldn't be doing underwater
*the surprising position trick that can have dramatic effect on your air intake
Part #2 of this dive training will teach you how to quell any signs of panic and anxiety. Besides going through your air faster than normal, panic and anxiety can be downright dangerous. Discover steps you can take immediately to lessen the chance of becoming panicky underwater.
Part #3 of these scuba lessons will give you tips on diving in low visibility - a condition that can easily lead to anxiety and quicken air consumption in even experienced divers.
Next, in Part #4, you will have a pre-dive procedure and checklist to follow so you start your dive prepared and in the best possible state of mind. Relaxing underwater means less air consumed.
And, last but not least, a bonus section with a scuba lesson on dive etiquette is included in all the Jumpstart booklets. After this section, you know you will never be one of those divers that gets the dirty look from other divers.(Booklet total: 13,515 words)
