Hey Divers!
So, I was just contemplating the last time I was diving and how enjoyable it was to just Buddha Hover and float my way across the dive site and it got me thinking, "Would it be possible to do a "backflip" in a Buddha Hover?
I guess what I'm thinking is that it might work this way?
1. Buddha Hover w/legs crossed
2. Lean back just enough to begin rotation (like a slow-mo backflip)
3. Hang there hovering upside-down for a second or two in a normal but inverted buddha.
4. "Lean" backwards again, so really this time im "leaning" back towards the surface.
5. Take a slightly deeper breath to initiate upward rotation.
6. When back in original orientation, return to normal Buddha.
So maybe I'm crazy, but I can't think of ever seeing someone do this before and I cant figure out why. Personally, I think it would be really fun, but I suspect there is something im missing.
Any thoughts on problems I might encounter? I'll be giving it a try in a few days when im diving again, but at the moment I can't help but try to figure it out!
