Do I Need a SCUBA Qualification to Buy Dive Gear? #askmark #scuba #question

@SCT15H0711
Brucey “Two Sheds” Gamecat
#askmark So seeing that the Apple watch ultra is something someone can likely pick up with their new mobile plan or just cause it's apple and trendy. Can an unqualified person gain full access to dive functionality through a pay wall or does it require some form of qualification verification on setup to allow it's use?

Hi Mark! Im going to a red sea liveaboard on June. I’m quite cold sensitive so I only got an Apeks Semidry as my wetsuit. Do you think I will suffer the heat too much in it? I never been hot in a wetsuit underwater and you can always make a bit of cold water enter. Thanks for answering all of our questions! #askmark

Oh dear… This vertical mode is like having a fine collection of Picassos, Van Goghs and Caravaggios and hanging a Pokemon poster with Blu Tack next to them.
Horrible!

Good content, though! Had to enjoy it not looking at the screen, what throws away all the editing effort… But good, nevertheless!

This is youtube, not tiktok. Save the portrait mode for tiktok and go back to the landscape. Pretty please.

with sugar on top.

(sorry, I have two elementary schoolers)

This question ranks up there with the most stupid scuba question I’ve ever seen 😂 Just an Apple hater attempting to make a (non-sensical) point 😆
On another note, Mark pleaaase will you go back to landscape videos? These new videos are basically unwatchable the format is so bad. Or can you just change Ask Mark to a podcast? Anything but vertical videos 🤮

When i showed up on my OW course , i had a complete set of my own equipment. I did a few DS dives before, so i had a good idea of what i want.
If you want to buy the equipment to jump into the water without any training , you might get a “Darwin Award”

Are more people watching YT videos in portrait than landscape mode, that these videos aspect ratios have changed?

Do you now make all videos vertical?
I watch it on the TV … better quality but obviously, I can’t flip it.

i know there are some CCR manufacturers that won´t sell a rebreather unless you´re certified for them, like XCCR.
