Kevin Metz, our very own resident instructor diving doubles.

And as a lesson for new divers, note the position of Kevin's hands. They are tucked in for streamlining. But more importantly, they are tucked in because Kevin doesn't need them to scull the water to maintain his position.

Instead, Kevin maintains a neutral buoyant position by properly inflating his BC and then trimming his buoyancy with his lungs.

Want to learn how to dive like Kevin? Just tuck your hands under you and keep them there using only your BC and your lungs to maintain buoyancy.
