I used to get horrible cramp using Typhoon plywood fins (Hurricanes I think but they were horrid planks). I changed to Mates Avanti 3 and quattros and hey presto - no more cramp. Ever.

stop right there with comments like that, they'll be on us those Southerners. They only need the slightest oportunity and they'll pounce. I've heard said Scuba(G)jay shouts "give me an inch and i'll make a Northerner smile!"

Bananas contain potassium, which is an electrolyte and will help a bit but something like dioralyte, which is re-hydration powder will make sure that you have enough "salts" in your blood stream.

Finally, you could try frog kicking instead of straight leg kicking.

If you normally suffer from cramp, if it wakes you at night, you can take Quinine which is not contra-indicated with diving. it is a prescription only drug. Or you could try Tonic water which has quinine in it and was originally made for drinking in India when people got cramp from dehydration due to the heat.


they put the quinine in the gin.
they added tonic to make it more palatable.
hence

g+t.



as for cramps.
nitrox may help.
or better boyancy control-if you are constantly finning to maintain depth you will stress your muscles more.
general fitness can also reduce cramps.
