Wow....I think this is first time I've ever heard of a special kick for swimming over brain coral. Last time I swam over a brain coral I think I was swimming upside down and backwards blowing bubble rings....and all this time I should have been paying attention to my flippers..... <slaps forehead> I *knew* I was doing something strokastic but I just couldn't put my finger on it.....

Well sign me up! We can redefine the word "bent".....as in... "My feet were bent for weeks and I walk with a permant limp but they want to put my buttocks on display in the Louvre".

It has nothing to do with being stroketastic (your words), it has everything to do with keeping your frickin' fins off the reef. But thanks for that cynicism, its refreshing (or not)... Shouldn't you be busy merging all your little countries into one?

I agree with the sentiment. I was just having some fun with how seriously we take ourselves sometimes. I think the people most likely to crash into a braincoral have never heard of a modified flutter kick.
We were waiting for the Americans to do that....
Pretty classless comment. Anywho...StSomewhere:
I've done all sorts of stupid stuff over brain coral, barrel rolls, hanging upside down, riding my buddy's tank like a bull, granted I was 10+ feet above it. You're free to dive pretty much however you like, but it's really not neccesary to be so close to coral that you need to use the modfied flutter and the frog kick would be a better choice since you have better up/down control with it then the mod flutter.
The way things are going 'round here you may not have to wait too much longer Robert!

I forgot the wink smiley, sorry. Mea culpa.
About the reefs, I see to much of it abused. I really don't care what equipment a diver uses or who taught who to dive with what agency or what fin kicks anyone uses as long as they keep thier fins off the reefs. People who can do that are too rare, IMO. Anything I can do to keep one person off the reefs is time well spent.
