Hi there,
I see video clips of people diving, especially when they're doing the frog kicks, their bodies are in the horizontal position.
The last sea trip, my setup up includes Halcyon Eclipse, 3mm shorty & the Scubapro Jet Fin. Using that setup, I couldn't maintain a horizontal position for long. After few minutes (didn't keep track), my leg will sink, (9 o'clock position), then followed by my upper body rose, and now 12 o'clock position.
I guess I do not need to be 100% horizontal position, and that means the 10-4 o'clock position is fine. But eventually, the above process repeats again.
I've tried on the Scubapro twin jet fin, and I last longer, but again, eventually I'll be in the 12-6 o'clock position!
Is it possible that my legs are negatively buoyant? What should I do to maintain horizontal position? Being in the 10-4 o'clock position isn't acceptable, since when you kick, instead of moving forward, we'll tend to ascend.
Thanks.
Henry
