is to have the buddy system

enter the water first.

101

00:
14:33,790 -- 00:14:36,792

Once the buddy systems are in the water,

we're gonna have the guided divers.

102

00:
14:36,876 -- 00:14:40,462

And myself, Linda and Junior

is gonna help you guys get into water.

103

00:
14:40,547 -- 00:14:41,672

Linda is on surface support,

104

00:
14:41,756 -- 00:14:43,382

so if you surface a distance away

from the boat,

105

00:
14:43,466 -- 00:14:45,509

you want to let her know that you are okay.

106

00:
14:45,593 -- 00:14:49,513

This is how you let her know you're okay,

by giving her a big "O" over your head.

107

00:
14:49,597 -- 00:14:52,516

lf you're not okay,

you do the international distress signal.

108

00:
14:52,600 -- 00:14:55,519

The international distress signal is simple,

very easy to do.

109

00:
14:55,603 -- 00:14:58,397

All right, it's like this. "Help!"

110

00:
14:58,481 -- 00:15:01,483

Okay? All right?

111

00:
15:01,568 -- 00:15:03,193

Very easy, very simple.

112

00:
15:03,278 -- 00:15:05,487

Once everybody's in the water,

113

00:
15:05,572 -- 00:15:07,823

l want you to make your way

over to that white float ball.

114

00:
15:07,907 -- 00:15:10,200

The white float ball will be

out at the stern of the boat.

115

00:
15:10,285 -- 00:15:12,536

-We want you to...

-May l sit over there?

116

00:
15:12,620 -- 00:15:16,498

-Excuse me, sir.

-l'm sorry, l'm sorry. Go ahead. l'm sorry.

117

00:
15:16,583 -- 00:15:18,875

118

00:
15:18,960 -- 00:15:20,836

l'm sorry. l'm done screwing up.

119

00:
15:20,920 -- 00:15:23,880

-You didn't bring your mask with you?

-l brought it. l don't know what happened.

120

00:
15:23,965 -- 00:15:26,258

lt's just that it's supposed to be here. Sorry.

121

00:
15:26,342 -- 00:15:29,720

Sorry, everybody.

l'm just, you know, anxious to dive.

122

00:
15:29,804 -- 00:15:32,431

l don't want to...

Do you have extra masks on the...

123

00:
15:32,515 -- 00:15:34,850

-Linda, did you bring an extra mask?

-You have an extra mask, Linda?

124

00:
15:34,934 -- 00:15:36,852

No, l don't have an extra mask.

125

00:
15:36,936 -- 00:15:38,353

-Junior?

-Anyone?

126

00:
15:38,438 -- 00:15:40,689

-Does anyone have an extra mask?

-No.

127

00:
15:40,773 -- 00:15:43,984

-You can't dive without a mask.

-Yeah, l understand that.

128

00:
15:44,986 -- 00:15:46,653

Thank you, Travis.

129

00:
15:47,989 -- 00:15:50,657

Davis, Davis. l'm sorry, guys. Go on.

130

00:
15:50,742 -- 00:15:54,328

All right, guys. The dive is going to be

at a maximum depth of 60 feet,

131

00:
15:54,412 -- 00:15:58,999

so, therefore, we're gonna be down there

for about 35 minutes.

132

00:
16:10,136 -- 00:16:11,928

l'm gonna put my stuff on in the water.

133

00:
16:13,097 -- 00:16:14,097

Okay.

134

00:
16:27,779 -- 00:16:28,945

Sorry.

135

00:
16:45,254 -- 00:16:46,713

You ready?

136

00:
16:47,382 -- 00:16:48,465

Yeah.

137

00:
18:02,331 -- 00:18:03,582

Are you okay?

138

00:
18:03,666 -- 00:18:05,208

Yeah, l'm okay.

139

00:
18:05,418 -- 00:18:07,377

l can't equalize my ears.

140

00:
18:07,462 -- 00:18:11,214

Okay. Are you going to abort the dive

or try again to equalize?

141

00:
18:11,299 -- 00:18:13,842

-You okay?

-l don't think l can go down.

142

00:
18:13,926 -- 00:18:15,886

All right, do me a favor. lnflate your BC,

143

00:
18:15,970 -- 00:18:19,347

put the regulator in your mouth

and swim back towards the platform.

144

00:
18:19,432 -- 00:18:20,515

Okay.

145

00:
18:23,603 -- 00:18:26,146

Up, stand up, stretch your knees out.

146

00:
18:45,333 -- 00:18:47,542

-How was it down there?

-We didn't get down.

147

00:
18:47,627 -- 00:18:50,337

-You didn't. Why not? What happened?

-Didn't get a chance.

148

00:
18:50,421 -- 00:18:53,006

-Couldn't clear it.

-Yeah, l couldn't get my ears to equalize.

149

00:
18:53,090 -- 00:18:55,258

lt's rough sometimes, l know.

lt's happened to me a couple of times.

150

00:
18:55,343 -- 00:18:57,260

Hallelujah.

157

00:
19:15,071 -- 00:19:17,280

The only problem l have

is you don't have a buddy right now.

158

00:
19:17,365 -- 00:19:18,949

l don't need a buddy.

l've been diving all my life.

159

Can you dive with me? No?
