I'm not sure whether finning technique should be included in training or not - considering all the other stuff that the student has to learn in the OW, that's more that enough to be getting on with - maybe it shoudl be something that could/should/would be included in the Peak performance buoyancy speciality.

From my own experience, each time i've gone diving, i've watched what other divers are doing - their leg kicking methods etc and posting on here and other boards as well, and basically using trial and error to find out which technique is better for me.

With diving, along with any other activity that we do, each individual is different to the next and no one method is going to be the better/best type for everyone...it's down to each person's choice.

Just my tuppence worth.
