My wife and I used to use ankle weights. We tried a couple of different types and liked the Brightweights ankle weights the best:

BRIGHTWEIGHTS - Swim Like A Fish
Yeah... what works for you works for you! Just a matter of trying things and see what is best for you!
Nice shots Sas. I remember a dive where I had the silicate sachet in the spot where the lens opens. I would turn on the camera it would turn itself off... took a bit to realize what was wrong... sheesh.... annoying sometimes.. what you got are brilliant!

Here are a few shots from Byron from the passed few days.
Leopard Sharks and a Bull Ray
Leopard Shark Sunburst

U-turn
Shovelnose Ray
Black coral. I was looking for a Seahorse which was spotted on here a couple of weeks ago. Dont see much seahorses up here. Found a Xeno crab out on a branch which was really cool.

Where at the BBDC.
So my wonderful 12yo son had his first dive. We decided to do a discover scuba in the pool just to make sure its what he wanted to do but by the end of the dive he had done all his pool work for his open water. What a natural!! He had less trouble then his dad or I did when we first did the course. It was interesting for me as I remember how hard it seemed when we did it and how easy it was now. I spent about 2hrs in the 5m pool working on my buoyancy. I found that with my problems from the surgery that if I put as much weight as I can in my trim pockets on my back it forces my hips down which makes everything work better for me. It helped to force my fins down too. So I will see how this configuration goes for me on Sunday.

AB your pictures are gorgeous! I can only hope I will see some of those same critters in Byron Bay when I head down there.
