Hello -
I finally have a cave trip to FL on my calendar! I'm doing GUE C1 right before Thanksgiving.
While reading about diving in flow, I see photos and reports of folks using fingerless gloves to aid in pull and glide and prevent tearing up your fingers. Is this something I should think about at this point? From what I read, you should not use your fingertips to pull and if your technique is bad, the gloves aren't going to help that much anyway since the fingertips aren't protected. Right? Am I missing something here? Honestly, I don't know how much bandwidth I'll have to focus on this with everything else going on during the class.
This is going to be my first time in meaningful flow. The closest I got in Mexico was Dos Palmas but that's super gentle compared to Devil's where I'm almost certain to be during this trip. I get the impression that even Peacock has more flow than Dos Palmas - any one who has dived both can comment on this? I'm really curious now about what to expect.
Thanks in advance,
