In this PADI demonstration, performed by Director Mike Parker, you will get an in depth look of the hovering pool skill that requires the faintness of breath once assuming the proper postures for this exercise.  After his demo Mike then goes around to each student to critique and check off after they've shown their ability to hover in place and understand this required skill for the Confined Water section of the Open Water Course.  This video is also great for new and aspiring PADI Instructors for the best practices on communicating both above and below the surface.  For more information on our free Orientation, Beginner or Advanced Scuba Courses and Calendar, please visit us -------- http://www.scubaedu.com/beginner-scuba-calendar.html

• Maximum comfort with water visibility the highest in the Caribbean (200 - 300ft) - See your buddies and boat at all times during your dive. Water temperatures range from a low of 83° to a high of 89°, which means no heavy wetsuits!
• No dangerous marine animals, sharks, sea snakes, or man-of-wars to deal with - The toughest part of diving in the Cayman Islands is fanning away the friendly fish that love to ham it up for your underwater camera.
• Calm water, no strong currents to make you fatigued or sea-sick.
• Over 250 world-famous dive sites provide perfect diving conditions on all four sides of the island. Master Instructor Mike Parker has even discovered one particularly pristine site, which the locals dedicated to him, naming it 'Parker's Ledge'.
