Kicking in the water

[Meng_Tze]

.. that DIs and DMs I've seen so far prefer using the breastroke kick rather than flutter kicks (which is what I do). Is there any reason for them preferring to use breastroke kicks?

you need to hook up with some people in SG in The River Walk, oposite Boat Quay.... they can tell you a lot about this...

when trying a new mask, don't forget to try it with your mouth open, as if you had a reg in there...i think folks forget this a lot, but it can matter if you have deep folds/wrinkles, facial hair, etc.

or test with a snorkel in mouth...

actually also looking for another pair of fins which might be lighter to travel with. Any suggestions?

Frog kicking please try Scubapro Jet fin and Force fin excellence performance, you never regret...

Also realise that whenever I turned my head to look around the environment, water leaks into my mask. Is that normal, or is it a problem with my mask?

Cheers!

It seems mask poor fitting, look for less air volume masks making clearing water easy. I love scubapro frameless mask, and Cressi-sub Big eyes
