A
FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER ABOUT OUR VIDEOS
We harvested this footage from 61 minutes of video that was shot for the purpose of recording diver skills but not scripted or designed to target specific performance requirements. Our goal was to present
two reasonably respectable
divers who are not flutter kicking, sculling with their hands,
dangling their huge consoles and 2nd stages and
trashing the underwater environment.
We are instructors. We are expected to have those skills. We can't account for why most dive professionals do not demonstrate those same qualities. Maureen has an exceptional
frog kick.
It is fun to watch and the long fins that she is wearing afford an
opportunity for viewers to study the elements of this alternative
propulsion method. John has less flexible ankles and the left one
suffered some damage in a unicycle crash. He is a cave diver and his
kick, while not as pretty as Maureen's, is very powerful. In the "kick
glide kick" footage of one of the videos the camera man, a long time
Cozumel Professional, is flutter kicking flat out in jet fins in order
to keep up with the action.
Tech
divers, DIR divers and other
purists may take exception to Maureen's somewhat "heads up profile". We
acknowledge that she is less flat in a single tank than she is in
doubles. YES Maureen looks good in doubles even though she has no
desire to be a cave diver; past, present or in the future. If you watch
her in the videos you may notice that this posture is a subtle choice,
a
concious adjustment and not the result of the distribution of her
weights. This is a choice she
makes when she has a camera. A choice that she can afford to make
because her air consumption is so fantastic that she could, based on
air , find herself solo diving on almost any dive. She operates inches
away from things without ever making contact. Some of our video ended
up on
the cutting room floor simply because we knew that people would have
trouble believing that she could possibly be that close to things
without touching.
John is a cave diver and he
is the
force that drives BuoyancyQuest. We emphasize tech diver quality
fundamentals but we try to show you that recreational divers can and
should try to acquire these skills and substitute them for the less
efficient methods that they were taught and currently use.
