My weekly vid. Hope it brightens someone's surface interval.

I'm taking a PADI Divemaster course and I see all the skills and tests are demonstrated in a knees-on-the-floor position. I always make a point of keeping good horizontal trim and minimizing contact with the floor (be it in a pool or open water) so not to damage corals, the equipment, stir up...
