Hovering and techniques

underwater skills have to be the greatest way to prepare for diving, my favourite skill has to be the Hover. for me practicing buoyancy is a key to lower exertion, better Air Consumption and more relaxed diving....

Hover is essentially about Breath Controlling, the key we have to remember as Instructors is to allow our students to see that we are breathing and NOT holding our breath, this can be done by using the right hand to demonstrate breathing in and out. Bring the hand to the mouth and away and repeat as necessary, nice and slow that's the key!

Oh and don't forget to deploy ankle weights if necessary
