There was a spy on the boat!

I've been wanting to do those two dives for a while now....let me know next time, I'd like to see the Poling especially.

Here's a short ambient-light video clip from the dive on the Chester Polling.

The last of this "anonymous" diver's kicks is pretty good. It really illustrates well why I want to bring the camera along if we do skill building drills, so we can all review our technique afterward. In all fairness, this diver was right next to the wreck and was turning a corner, unaware he was on camera when I took this.

In all honesty... thanks for the video. There was a bit of a cross current that was pushing me towards the wreck... not much of a big deal. However watching the video the kicks go to crap as I'm checking my air... It looks like I fighting rolls while I reached back...

We used video training a lot when I taught skiing, and it did wonders... thanks again...

*shrug* lots to work on...

Oh... BTW: There is only one 'l' in Poling

Are you sure? I've seen it both ways.

just a quick search brings up one or 2 links using 2 "L"s.... many links using 1 "L"

More watching... I know there was a couple times I caught you in the head with a kick. I didn't catch you on that first one did I?

It looks like: frog kick, frog kick hitting something with my left fin. Scissor kick to get room to, a left fin helicopter then a right fin to get me a little further to the right. I twisted to the left when I checked my air, and two left helicopters to get me back on course.

That's my story... I'm stick'n to it. I kicked ya in the head

Actually, it was square in the mask.
