Wow, so much negativity...
I think his point was "If a 16 year old kid can do this, so can you with proper training"
I applause his skills. It shouldn't matter his age, training agency, or what he's training for... he's obviously in open water, ... but with very advanced and finely tuned skills that technical divers use. Not a thing wrong with that!
I don't see much of a point in backfinning with no fins... at that point, you aren't really doing/proving anything useful, start using your hands (more webbed/fin shaped than your booted feet) or figuring out how to surface in a controlled manner with no fins. That would be a more useful skill to have.
Oh and one too many fairy flutters Hand him a rock of shame to carry around until that stops LOL
Otherwise... very good skill set
