Do you go through your air too quickly?
Do you feel like a yo-yo underwater?
Are you nervous and/or anxious when you get on that dive boat?
I know I answered a resounding “yes” to these questions when I first started diving. I was always worried about something going wrong during the dive or looking like the “newbie” in front of the other divers.
I didn’t want to be the one that couldn’t descend, had little control over buoyancy or had to cut the dive short because I ran out of air. And I certainly didn’t want to get the dreaded “bends”.
There was so much to remember and work on, it was a bit overwhelming. Why did some divers seem so calm, cool and collected? How did they know what to do in all situations? And how did they seem to move through the water without any effort?
All reasonable questions. Since I remember what it was like and I want to help you get past that point quickly, I have put together a free 3 part video training series for beginner divers. It is straight forward user-friendly series full of tips, tricks and techniques that will help you become a safer, more confident and more skilled diver on your very next dive.
If you follow the simple steps in this series, you too will soon be acting and, more importantly, FEELING like the seasoned divers you meet on the dive boats. No one will know that you don’t have 500 dives under your (weight)belt!
So let's get diving! Click on the link below to get started.

This quick video tip for beginner divers is all about buoyancy control. One of the areas that gives new divers some trouble. On today's tip I talk about what not to use to control your buoyancy. Once you master this, you will be well on your way to neutral buoyancy.
In today's scuba diving video tip for beginner divers, I discuss a tip about what to do when on a dive boat. Boat diving can be intimidating but knowing what to do can make you feel more comfortable and confident on that dive boat. If you follow todays quick tip, the other divers will silently thank you for it and assume you are an experienced diver. And who wouldn't want that?

Air consumption is one of the most common areas of concern for beginner divers. In today's quick video tip, I address a way to reduce your air consumption when you hit a certain condition underwater - surges. As I say in the video - don't do what I did! Instead I tell you how to tackle this condition and come out with more air and more energy. It's a win win all around.

If you have been following me for awhile, you know I have recently been adding to our library of scuba diving tips for beginner divers - especially quick video tips.
However, I have to admit that I wasn't the best at updating all the links on the page to make sure all the tips were readily accessible in one place and easy for you to find.
This has now been remedied (insert happy dance). I have gathered all the pages I have on dive tips in one central location so it is now easy to find tips on the area where you would like a little help.
So if you are looking for some dive tips and techniques to help you with your diving you can find it all here:
