Divers,

CESA is one of the skills I can bet virtually none have practised again after being certified as an Open Water Diver. Some may think that it is a redundant skill to practise since the habit of checking pressure gauge is something that has to be embedded in the habitual pattern of every diver. So running out of air is NOT an option. Especially not so for you and buddy to run out of air together. Be responsible to your buddy and yourself when diving.

However, there are instances when CESA is something that you may need to do...in the case of an attack by predatory marine life for example...or an up-current that forces you up...you will have to know what to do.

Therefore, it is always good to practise ALL your skills, including CESA in the pool when you have nothing to do over the weekends.  There are many instructors and DMs in this forum..all of whom, I'm sure, will be glad to assist you in practising these skills.

Dive safe. With practise, you make diving safer.

Hehehe... I 'practised' CESA immediately after OWD. My 2nd fundive in Tioman... at LAbas... I popped out from 12 meters kot... At that time, my BC had a bit (maybe a lot ) of air that when the ascend went out of control.... and I couldn't controlmy buoyacy. The only thing I remembered was to 'scream' as loudly as I can an let all the air out.
Gosh, that was really scary.... Furthermore, I was well informed of the complications if something do go wrong...

PHEW!!!!Thank god I'm still ere  

just a question... the objective of CESA is it just to get all air out from our lung only?

thanks

urm good good true true... plan accordingly and yeah CESA.. is only recomended if u really have no other choice and in desperate situations to do so and only u can do so at 9m or at 6m. remember the open water CESA training... i need to do few times at the pool especially the 9m CESA...

i thought CESA can be done on all depth? what happens when u r at 25m and ooa? u cant do CESA? :-?

You can do it even at 60m...100m....200m....etc.

Air expand as you ascend
