Frogwomen Kara and Demi in “Learning Scuba” – [19th video of Project F – 3rd video shoot]

So, it’s time for the second video of the 3rd video shoot of “Project F”!

Normally I post on Sundays, but as February is pretty short I wanna give you a longer time period to get the video in the VIP club (until Tuesday, February 28).

 

In this video, Frogwomen Kara and Demi are doing some very basic scuba exercises to learn scuba diving.

Background info:

This is the only video from this video shoot that doesn’t have any scuba peril elements.

I only made one cut here as there is a scene in the middle where Sascha is demonstrating how to clear a mask…. so there is no “action” from the two for a while.

Kara has now appeared on all 3 video shoots I had so far, she has only scuba experience from these shoots so I teamed her up with newcomer Demi who had no prior scuba experience at all.

Kara is wearing an Aqualung Bali wetsuit and is equipped with a Mares Abyss regulator.

Demi is wearing an Orca Openwater Core wetsuit and is equipped with a Scubapro MK 17 regulator.

This video was basically not scripted at all as I simply filmed how the two received a scuba crash course with the most important scuba exercises.

Sascha did a great job as the instructor and agreed to appear in the video as well.

Both frogwomen did a fine job as well, as especially the flooded mask is a tricky exercise for some scuba newbies.

Finally, these wetsuits were used for the first time. Initially, the planning was that Kara would be wearing the Orca suit, but this way both suits fitted them better.

If I film such a scuba crash course next time I wanna include some close-ups as well, perhaps just using the (limited) zoom function of the camera or changing the camera position.

 

Here you can find some content from the Scuba instructor:

Editing:

I used some filters (10% more brightness in gamma and gain, text).

 

Where to watch it?

The video will be available again in the VIP club in May alongside the other content!

Here is a quick overview of the content of this month:

You can watch and download these videos in the VIP club, but only for personal use!

Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!

It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money:

All that scuba gear, location rent, and the money for the frogwomen and the safety diver.

If I don’t make enough money with these videos….. I won’t be able to make new videos at some point.

I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future!

After all, you get all those Project F videos each month + additional content for just 12 euros (or even less per month if you get into the VIP club for more than one month).

I would say that is quite a bargain!

Also, I do hope that the amount of VIP club members will be higher with the current price as it would be with a higher price.

The rotation periods for each video will get a little longer though. When a video leaves the VIP club it will be out for at least 4 months.

But still, there will be 5-6 Project F videos in it each month 😉

First dive lesson with Frogwomen Kara and Uma [3rd video of Project F]

Today I wanna present the longest video of Project F …yet!

In this one, Frogwoman Kara has her very first dive lesson and Frogwoman Uma is also joining for some practice!

Both are guided by a nice divemaster while I am behind the camera, so up to 4 people are underwater during the filming of this video.

Both frogwomen are practicing some basic scuba skills that are crucial when you wanna be a scuba diver.

 

First dive lesson with Frogwomen Kara and Uma, 1080p, 60 frames, 8:24 minutes

Frogwoman Kara is wearing a Cressi Fast wetsuit while breathing with a Mares Abyss regulator.

Frogwoman Uma is wearing a Camara Speedskin smooth skin wetsuit while breathing with a Scubapro C370 regulator.

 

Some preview pictures:

The picture quality in the video does actually look a little better than the screenshots

A short trailer that also includes scenes from this video:

Both did a really good job with these scuba exercises as they had very little (Uma) to no scuba experience (Kara).

Several exercises can be seen in the video, I thought about adding titles to sections of the video, but I don’t want to have spoilers in it 😉

I will use the spoiler function here for those who wanna be surprised by what will happen in the video! I recommend not reading it before watching the video 😉

Spoiler title
-01:14 Kara dives around the pool for the first time  -02:14 Kara and Uma clearing their scuba masks after flooding them    -04:18 Kara and Uma practicing to retrieve the regulator and how to start breathing from it underwater    -06:38 Kara and Uma practice on how to buddy breath by using the octopus regulator of the dive buddy   -08:24 Kara is testing a BCD for an exercise in buoyancy

As you can see in the pictures already some slight gear changes were made as Kara started diving barefoot. Over time that was a little too cold for her so she put on neoprene socks.

For the last 2 minutes of the video, she changed from the weight belt to a BCD vest.

Editing:

I used the same filters as before (white balance, 10% more brightness in the shadows, text).

The original/raw footage was about 17 minutes, so I cut out about half of it as some scenes were repeated and the intro and outro of each recording were (logically) cut out as well.

Perhaps I will put some of the extra footage in the VIP club in the future.

Frogwoman Kara was sadly only available for 2 hours instead of the planned 5, as there were massive train delays that day.

And that wasn’t the only problem that day, more on the shooting here:

But she is interested in shooting more videos…. 🙂

Wanna see more of Frogwoman Uma …aka…. “Granola Kitty”?

Check out her Facebook page where you can see much more of her:

Next week I will post the first video of her diving in different gas masks!

How can you watch the video?

It will be available again in the VIP club in April!

Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!

It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money, especially on scuba gear and location rent.

A lot of my …limited… savings were used up for that.

If I don’t make enough money with these videos…..I won’t be able to make new videos.

So…. I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future.

The frogwoman who enjoyed being in the water a little….too much

This one is on my radar for ages since it was recommended to me at least twice. Thanks a lot, folks!

Well, I’m not too excited about these scenes, but I’m sure that others will love these scenes.

A woman learns how to scuba dive in two scenes. In a third scene, she dives somehow too….but not as you may think 😉

And here is the video:

The scenes where she is in the pool are nice, but nothing spectacular.

The struggle in the final scene is quite….interesting, of course, I would have preferred her to wear her scuba gear…but well…no luck.

But the idea of her having second thoughts about killing herself and then struggling to survive her own death trap….was well done!

Wanna know from which movie this is from?

What do you think of these scenes?

An unexperienced frogwoman on her first dive

This odd scene from a Russian movie (tv show?) shows how much you can do wrong when you go on a scuba dive!

I don’t understand the Russian audio but clearly, the woman never dove before and the guy has some experience with scuba diving.

Let’s start with some preview pictures:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

Oh man! These two do a LOT of things that you shouldn’t do while diving! 😉

Her excuse may be the little to no experience that she has. A fine example of why you shouldn’t dive without a proper scuba certificate!

She gets a panic attack and accidentally rips out his regulator, he should now just retrieve his regulator and the situation could be under control again.

But he grabs the regulator of the panicking frogwoman….what a disaster move!

These two have 4 working regulators in total…but what do they do? Use only 1(!) of them! Oh man…..

Of course, pulling out her regulator makes things worse and she heads to the surface….way too fast!

These two can be happy that they are still alive. 😆

I don’t have an IMDB link this time, I just know the English title:

“Wanted a wife with a kid”

*EDIT* Original title seems to be: IMDB

If this is a Russian movie or TV show…I don’t know.

What do you think of that scene?

A woman teaches a man how to dive in vintage scuba gear

I got another one for you folks.

In this clip we have a frogwoman who teaches a guy how to dive. You may recognise the regulator/tanks from Thunderball 😉

Preview:

And here is the video:

Well, I miss the matching Thunderball wetsuit for her….but you can’t have everything.

Pretty difficult to concentrate on how to dive if you have a teacher like that…. 😉

If you wanna know from which movie that is:

A scuba documentary…from the 60’s! With scuba peril scenes!

Well, for today I got something very rare for you… a complete scuba documentary from the ’60s! With a length of 30 minutes!

And as a bonus, with some scuba peril scenes included!

In the beginning, everything is explained in a cartoon, but that’s just the first 6-7 minutes…don’t worry. 😉

And here is the video:

As you may have seen the picture quality isn’t so good, but remember, the documentary is 50 years old…

It is really great, that it was filmed in color. And the scuba gear and exercises are pretty interesting!
