Have concerns about diving? In this blog post, we’re going to deconstruct the biggest scuba diving worries. 1. Running out of Air One of the biggest concerns of divers, and also one of the most easily avoidable, is running out of air. Your air gauge measures how much PSI is left in your tank. Fifteen-hundred is half a tank, and 500 means you’re low on air. If you ever get to 500 PSI, signal to guide. After that, we can surface swim to wherever we need to be. Being honest when your guide asks you how much air you have left is the easiest way to not run out of air. Another way to avoid running out of air is breathing slowly. At Hawaii Eco Divers, we recommend a three second breath in, and a four second breath out. Maintaining…

What is equalizing? Equalizing is one of the most important skills you learn before you dive. Holding your nose and blowing sounds easy in theory, but it’s actually one of the most often encountered problems divers face. Here at Hawaii Eco Divers, safety is our priority- especially when it comes to your ears and sinuses! We’ve compiled a list of equalizing safety tips as well as an explanation to what equalizing actually is. Tips for when you’re having trouble equalizing If you’re having trouble equalizing, ascend a couple feet and try again. In fact, ascend until you’re actually able to equalize. Then, descend and continue equalizing. If you’re having trouble again, just ascend and descend and equalize. Repeat the pattern until you’re buoyant and comfortable at your depth. Take it slow. Don’t rush your descent. Start equalizing before you…
