keeping horizontal

[Soggy]

Much easier to see where I'm going while remaining in a flaired horizontal position. Descend prone... ascend supine.

Do you actually do this or is it just a fun and games thing?

Soggy is just being negative because he can't do it without rocketing to the surface.

Probably true!

LOL - we often get to watch OE2X do most of a dive in the supine position (and his ScubaPro regs seem to breathe just fine). He claims it's just easier on his mal-adjusted neck ...

Well... I certainly don't spend the whole dive supine... unlike OE2X. Actually he doesn't spend all of the dive supine... most of the time he is lateral recumbant.

I really do like doing the last 10' supine if we have the boat overhead... I get to check out the bottom paint, prop and rudder that way.

As for doing the coffin style ascent with arms crossed on the chest... yes that is just to be funny. The slower you break the surface the better the effect.

This isn't something that foreign to Soggy... he's either seen me do it plenty of times, or is in need of working on his buddy awareness

Hmmm.... it sure seems like he's never seen it before... I guess that means...

Yeah, yeah...I've seen the "roll over and look above" but I haven't seen you do an ascent from the bottom like that

Gotta make the stops that way too or it doesn't count.
