You know... it's nice to be helpful to your buddy and loan a little gear when you can, but I'm sorry... I just refuse to dive with a buddy that has to borrow one of my fins. I mean, come on... a good buddy should at least be able to afford their own stinkin' pair of fins. Geeze. What a mooch!
Now THAT'S bouyancy control!

I LIVE in New Jersey. I am not FROM New Jersey. It's an important distinction...
Would you care to elaborate? I'm FROM New Jersey, but LIVE in Illinois.
I get really tired of people assuming that I'm
insane :bonk:
abrasive
oking:or connected with organized crime :getsome:

The person in that video, Laurynn Evans, was the videographer for my DIR-F class in April. She's a very nice person, very funny and an excellent diver as y'all can see.

That video I shot was from one of the most stressfull dives I have had yet.
A group of 5 'older' people, one of which has been diving for 15 years with 50 dives and the rest your common vacation divers. They all had rental equipment and a mix up with the dive shop left them without a pair of fins, so these guys, brothers I believe decided to split....and the DM let them.
All 5 of them swarmed around the DM the whole dive while I stayed the heck away, I dove solo and I think the DM was actually jealous of me...hehehe. I was a nervous wreck watching that group, it freaked me out.

If your want to improve your buoyancy control practice hovering on your safety stop.
Oh God! You mean to say that this wasn't some sort of training game!? What a mess! LOL
It *is* possible to dive with one fin. I lost a fin once on a night-dive and decided to keep going. I just kept horizontal in the water, crossed my ankles and used a dolphin stroke to move. As long as you have good buoyancy control it actually isn't much harder than diving with 2 fins
R..
OMG -- I was just joking around because I figured it was some sort of training exercise (what to do if you lost a fin / broke a strap)
That's just scary.
That's just scary.
You just stay clear of the entire group like I did, your just asking to be pounced on when a problem happens.
no sir, not me, I'll be a passive observer as they frolic to the surface in panic, but they aint bringing me with.

Oh man that's funny
What's going in the background?
Looks like someone was starting to lose their tank.
I took some video this past weekend of a guy with horrible buoyancy control. I haven't watched it yet, but I'll try and post it if it's funny enough!
Of course he was 2 feet off the bottom, silting the heck out of everything!
