hoosier:Jim told me that I was the fastest frog kick diver who he ever dove with.

Where are you getting fills 5-7 min away from Joe's?

Funny, at the club pool night last week we had a velocimeter and folks could see their speed using various fins and kicks - the DM there did 2.25 mph while frog kicking! Best split fins were 1.5 mph
TheHobster:
As I gain more experience and improve my buoyancy control, I find myself preferring the frog kick more and more. Since I'm a former competitive swimmer, I have no issue with doing the frog kick itself unlike alot of folks. But man, my RMV went up a good .17 cfm on that dive just trying to keep up with WT (hoosier) ... from .62 to .79 cfm.

I had the same problem, I have a dive buddy who can frog kick and really cruise. I like to be in an arms reach of my buddy so reaching over and grabbing ahold of his BC so he can pull me is easy and it keeps my SAC down

He must be a frog kicking fool then if you were working to keep up with him because if I understand it right he was diving dry and you were diving wet.
The single biggest surprise to me with the dry suit was how much it slowed me down! :11:

Good point. But also keep in mind that he has alot more experience with his drysuit than you have with yours. I bet it gets to a point where you feel much more streamlined moving through the water with more experience. I can't wait to begin diving mine, but I'm also not looking forward to the initial frustration that I KNOW I'll experience.

lost, even with a compass
Roadkils, 5-7 was a guess since I have never timed it. To be honest I don't even know the name of the dive shop. Everytime I go I need a refresher on directions. I know that you take the Gene Schnyder (sp) and after that I'm not sure of the exit. The dive shop sits on the corner and they have/had a parrot.
Jim drug me through BS our last dive. I was dry and he was wet. My SAC was way up. I did take my reg out of predive and I slowed down the breathing.
I'm more of a cruiser than a rocket anyway but the dry suit makes a big difference.

You must have been doing 150mph, because Paradise Divers is 20 miles away!
