JeffG:A solution to the wrong problem.
The problem is to stay horz....
The solution is not have legs at a 90 deg bend, the solution is to use your arms and your legs as counter weights regardless of where they (arms and legs) end up. (ie push your ankles back, you should go heads up, ankles to your butt..you should go heads down)

Reinoud:This sounds like a problem that is hard to solve on the Internet ";-)
Do you have people in your neighbourhood that are DIR trained? What is their advice?
Or another option: is there someone in your neighbourhood that has a camara with an underwater housing? Most modern digicams can make little movies too. Try to get some footage of yourself underwater. Usually that is very confrontating ";-)
(DIR-F classes are usually taped too)
Yes, it is. The problem is trying to diagnose a trim issue on the internet. An instructor will be able to watch you in the water and straight up tell you what you're doing wrong and how to correct it.PerroneFord:Yea, I know it's not an itnernet problem.
PerroneFord:LOL! No ****!
I had planned to take Fundies in the spring, but now it looks like I'll have to wait until the summer to do it. My hope is that with regular practice, I can improve my diving some on my own before I head to fundies.
