    Default A new entry technique

    It's the army crawl No they weren't in trouble, I would have help, but their instructor??? had no clue what she was doing because the entire beach was watching and there were TONS of divers. So I took a few pics before entering, so what do you think?

    It's a good thing it was flat but these are the people that shouldn't be diving. I can't even blame them but the technique that was taught to them. Why is crawling in taught, I sure don't remember that???? I remember being told you can crawl out if necessary, which I have NEVER done and NEVER will! Personally if I see someone crawling, I feel that they are in need of help because humans were taught at a young age to walk on two feet. I'm just confused can anyone help explain

    Definitely confusing stuff...IMO as to why they were crawling in, is if they are standing (without fins) in an enemy situation, they are more of a target, plus have to then put on their fins..if you're crawling, it makes it easier as you are using your upper body weight/elbows/knees to move yourself forward.

    Hope that makes sense.

    What's IMO

    But that's a good reason, if I ever get into combat diving I'll know what to do

    Dude, that is old school big surf entry! Go until you get knocked down and crawl out under the waves with your reg in your mouth! It looks like everything except the waves! I would say that the instructor has been around awhile and I agree with that type of training!
