Garry, Thank You for another fantastic demo video. What novice divers may not understand is that you have extraordinary TRIM as well as excellent buoyancy. For many, very good buoyancy is ruined by poor trim. Can you tell (or show) us how trim is dialed in with side mount and how it may work with conventional back mount? I dive cold water and am challenged with how to distribute the large amount of weight I carry.
Yes I can can tell and show you when I see someone in the water in 5 mins. Takes longer to explain of course - the problem, solution and fix. I can’t do it by simply messaging. I’ve tried this so many times before. Everyone has quite different issues. If you need advice, we can do a one to one session via video call 😊
OMG wat a beautiful buoyancy. I know... years of practicing but still, perfect. BTW. I noticed something else, you inhale cycle is much longer than the exhale. I'm quite an air junkie (SAC rate around 20, sometimes more sometimes less) and still look for any tips concerning breathing techniques. Of course, I've seen hundreds of YT videos about it but one more tip will be helpful as well.
Thankyou for your kind words. it’s important to relax, but not focus on relaxing. Achieved when the mind and body are at rest. Each breath is unconscious, similar to that when reading a book. Of course when equipment doesn’t feel right your body’s natural balance senses it and corrects it.
Hi Garry mate, I have only 38 dives. I passed in July 2022. My legs keep dropping and my whole body tilts back, I have tried putting more weight up top, and lighter fins. Its still happening. do you have any advice for me please?. I am UK based.
Hi, it could your default position that makes you feel like you have to be in this position. But it doesn’t sound correct. I don’t know what you had before to understand, but weights and their position is critical and your body muscle memory important to achieve the balance.
Good idea!!!Thanks Garry that you give us more useful ideas about diving underwater.

PS. One more new subscriber. Keep the great vids coming!
well done I'm impressing. one i must go with u for balance,
Charles Kelly I'd be happy to teach you :-)
You make it look so easy. Teach me your ways lol
I'm sure you know, everything's easy when you know how, but it doesn’t take years.... it takes only a few hours!!
I've been practicing. !
Hardest thing I’ve ever done that made the most difference

I wonder, how would it work in a wetsuit?
Pēteris Ceļotājs...the same. Neutral fins don’t affect anything. Moving your fins even in the slightest, means you are correcting an existing problem.
