Watching over Rototillers.....Originally posted by WetDane
Rototillers???? I don't even know what that is...

This is a public service Uncle performs on occasion....
Definitely not a preference for a dive buddy....
Just that Rototillers sometimes feel the need for someone to watch over them....
Because no matter how good the viz was for the guys just getting out of the water....
It never is when they dive...
I might add that not all Rototillers need or want watching....
I just have a few friends that feel better with an audience....
Rototilling can be accomplished with any fin but split fins & force fins excel. Being over weighted and descending vertically helps them get off to a good start but maintaining a heads up 45 degree angle of attack is the key to sustained rototilling performance. Continuous hand movement, scissor kicking, twisting and turning are all part of the process.
Uncle usually floats above the insuing cloud and watches for the occasional fin flash and makes sure the bubbles keep coming. It is usually over in short order as rototilling is strenuous work and their juice just doesn't last long.
