First Sea Trials

I took my Aqueon for a dive at Porteau Cove on February 23, just a few days after receiving it via courier. I was very excited to be using it for the first time but there were a number of things that I had to relearn:

  • Don't kick it like a monofin. Bend slightly at the knees and hips and keep the upper body relaxed
  • Only the slightest knee bend is required for the best amplitude of the fin
  • Forward surface dives are very difficult. A back start is best for heading straight down from a dead stop

Below is a video that I compiled from this first experience:
