I don't think there are very many people who could hover utterly motionless except for breathing for five minutes, and maintain exactly the same position. Everybody fins a little, even AG . . .
Could you have done this at 30 dives?

Can someone post a different link? Some of us are not afflicted with Facebook, and apparently you need an account to view the link.

At 30 dives no. Not the way I was trained. After discovering Scubaboard and learning how you are supposed to look? At 50 dives yes.
Some of my students could do that at 30 dives. A couple were pretty close not long after their OW checkouts. And one of my prize students showed up at a quarry this summer. She had not been in the water in 8 months. So thinking she needed a refresher I buddied up with her. 10 minutes into the first dive it was as if she'd been diving all along. Horizontal within 5 feet of the surface on the descent, using a modified frog kick, excellent trim, arms folded, and using breath control to change depth. Made me proud!

If Steve can do that, I want to see video proof!
I have a reputation locally for being an EXTREMELY quiet and stable diver (even among my GUE friends) and I'm quite sure that, before five minutes went by, I'd have moved a fin somewhere. Hands, no, but fins, absolutely.
