Ok, I'm a relatively new diver. I only have 8 dives and 4.5 hours of dive time total, so I know that I shouldn't be too picky because it just takes practice, but I want to be perfect dang it!
I use a Freedom plate (LOVE IT!) and a weight belt. One thing I've been having trouble is keeping my feet elevated when I'm not moving. All my dives are lake dives with other newbie divers, and needless to say the bottom gets kicked up a lot. I try to not be the one who does it.
But it seems like we stop a lot to look at cool things. Which is cool, except then my feet sink and hit the bottom. Is there a way to stop this? Would moving weights from my belt to the top of the back of the Freedom plate help? I'm working on frog kicking, and so keeping my knees bent may fix the problem, but I haven't tried it yet.
Like I said. Total noob.
