Dive with us at the exciting dive spots of Komodo National Park: www.wetfrogdivers.com/scuba-diving-komodo/dive-spots-komodo/
Whatever finning technique, try to make sure you kick relaxed and slowly. You don’t need to hit the highest gear and race under water. If you dive in current, try to use it in favour for you. Remember propulsion and buoyancy are interrelated, and will make a big difference to your scuba dives. Use fins that fit you well, as they will also influence your air consumption and energy, and, hence, also your swimming technique.

    Good video. You are right, my most memorable dives with large pelagics have been in strong currents. One note: if caught in a down current ( happens a lot on walls) swimming horizontally away from the wall and into the blue is often the best way to get out of the down current.

We are very careful not to disturb the coral in any way, and require the same attitude from the divers we dive with. Luckily, we didn't break anything, and just touched the coral with the pressure gauge, but still. We will pay even more attention to that from now on 🙏

    You omitted an important factor, Correct weighting! Perform a buoyancy check before diving, your weighting will vary depending on exposure protection, salt or fresh water.

    • @wetfrogdiversdivinginkomod5596
      @wetfrogdiversdivinginkomod5596 2 роки тому

      Oh, thanks for the good point 🙏 Of course, air consumption depends on the proper selection of weights and you have to consider the conditions of your dive and the gear you are using. All these considerations we have included in the advice about buoyancy - secret number 4. Agree, it's hard to talk about good buoyancy if there are not enough weights or on the contrary, you took too much lead

      @wetfrogdiversdivinginkomod5596 2 роки тому

      Yes, that's exactly what they (bubbles) do. That's why you have to let the air out of the BSD during the ascent - so your ascent doesn't turn into a takeoff 😉
