Now that I have "gotten my feet wet" and really begun to do some diving, before the season ends, I would like to know if anyone would be interested in doing some practice sessions for skills improvement. Kind of a really planned out - deliberate set of dives specific for improving. As we all seem to be creating a club and will probably dive together, I also think it would be good to see the real skill levels of those diving with us. Anyone interested or am I being too anal....

Definately. I do a lot of practice as I do safety stops, but I don't get out and practice enough as it is...

I can help...
at some point during the dive sunday, I'll rip your mask off, and turn off your air
Ok... I won't, but yes, I'd like to do some dives like that... Plus adding sending up a bag, running reels, etc.

Skills I'd like to learn/work on/develop:
I was thinking digital video might be helpful for some skill building... it's hard to critique your own frog kicks if you can't see them for example.
- horizontal ascent/descent
- frog kicking and helicopter kicking
- bag deployment
- reel use
- lobster measuring
- fish identification

Basic skills, sure, but I'd like to work on them in the context of planned task loading. For example, I can clear a mask okay, but if it floods while I'm banding a lobster or trying to hover, it's hard for me to do both.
Are you kidding? This is New England, we are all a bunch of critics! A but sarcastic too! Our New England blood... funny how some people from other parts of the country don't always get our sense of humor...

My camera (and Spectre's) can both do short video clips digitally. I have a fish identification guide, and want to make a point of adding it to the Scubaru's mobile dive library.
