dive training

[milldog]

just a quick question... when i do practise dives for myself (an these are done mainly in the sea) except this friday due to weather )i set up the kit for the worst case scenario and work back from there to the best setup for me

the reason for this is that if i can dive with all hell breaking around me then i will be happier in the water should it happen, this has proved invaluable in the past as i dive solo if Gary isn't about.

i will say this works for me and is not for everyone, i have heard story's of people storming out of the water when things go wrong, and not to the plan. This is why i vary the dives in the sea 9-12 meters and get comfortable there before other dives

so the question would be how do you do run up dives? and train with kit adjustments

don't you just put everything on and then see if you can stand up, if you can't then you ditch kit until you can ???
