the smaller tank might be “enriched air” (ie, over 21% mix) – for accelerated deco, OR it might be “oxygen” (100%) – again for deco (but limited MOD is 6m for 100%).
the two tanks on his back is just a twin-set – doesnt mean he’s diving on helium! A helium mix would mean he’s diving on a trimix which means he can go deeper for longer – but thats all.
My instructor said this to me when i finished my NAUI OW. Now you learned how to dive, but now you must learn to dive” I think that was a good thing to say
…everything is possible for a ‘man’, but scuba diving is not about possibilities, is about traing knowlege and experience. So even if you learn everything in one week you still can not dive safely in one week…after all there is a minimum of age and i think is 16 or 18 years old..
I got my certification when I was 12, but in several night classes over several months. There are intensive, week-long course. But unless you’re in a vacation spot, don’t expect your local dive shop to offer them.
A lot of it is, but this guy seems to think hes a trimix diver judging by all the tanks hes got- you will need to know how to change regs and basic stuff like that. You dont need a “license” to dive, or buy dive equipment but you need to be qualified to get air fills or go out on a dive charter. Plus, if you aren’t qualified, there is a pretty good chance that you will end up killing yourself. So for the sake of a few hundred quid, its definately worth it.

When in water, it weighs nothing. However, when you try to climb aboard a boat after a dive, you feel as heavy as a car.

thats for deep dives
the smaller tank is enriched oxygen, it is used for coming up
the two tanks in the back is a mix with helium in order to negate the effects of what i believe is called in english nitrogen narcosis

Those are steel tanks. (even the deco cylinders) You would need no lead.
