Hi Amera. This is a fun question. Some people are able to sit on the bottom by blowing out their breath before going down to sit (or while on their way down to the bottom). Others, particularly those who float high in the water, have to use a weight of some kind, like the weight belts worn by scuba divers to keep them from simply floating back to the surface. In our classes, we use 10lb rubber bricks and/or 12lb weight vests or 1-3lb ankle and wrist weight bands to help people who stay down and take a look around. It's a treat for people who otherwise just float and the silence and perspective is usually enjoyed. We've had a few people, but only a few, who wore the vest and held the brick and were still not able to stay on the bottom. Buoyancy is a function of the combination of muscle, bone, fat and air in your body with a little variance for the density of the water (salt vs fresh for example). Change any one of those variables (lose weight, build muscle, hold/release your breath) and you change your capacity to float or sink. I hope you make it to the floor and enjoy your time there!
I'm going to watch and learn
I need a instructor like him
Thanks once again!
You are welcome. So glad you find these helpful.
The camera and audio have improved so much compared to early videos😊
... and we have a new camera coming soon, so it will improve yet again. Stay tuned 😊
How can I stay on the floor because every time I float quickly .
