How to achieve perfect balance without fins - "Ask Garry"

"Garry's tips"
The perfect hover with or without wearing fins can only be achieved through perfect balance. Positioning of weights and buoyancy cell in relation to any diver is paramount. When you've got that, the diver needs to be in a horizontal trim, especially in a drysuit. Drysuits hold air in the limbs, a bit like 4 tyres on a car. If one corner goes down then the opposite adjacent corner goes up. To control this look at where your hands are, keep them at the same level, this will keep your feet level. Look ahead, don't look down. The rest is just about relaxing the mind and body. You might feel like taking a big mirror in the water with you, but then a RAID instructor will do a better job.
Be a RAID instructor, be unafRAID.
