I'm not a seafarmer so I don't see any point to plant my students . The only other reason to overweight (outside seafarm) is working on the bottom, and that's not what rec divers are supposed to do (Remember IRS):no
In my opinion UW photo- and videographers should avoid that too, anyway in most environments.
As much as I wish the people that are in an OW environment for the first time had proper bouyancy skills, it's just not going to happen unless I get a fish in the class. The students check their bouyancy at the surface, but at 15ft, they just need to be in front of me and kneeling on the platform, not flying around trying to descend and overworking themselves. If I was planting them in mud, then I'd be more concerned bout moonlighting underwater.
