Hi All,
I came across this.
http://public.mvlan.net/folder/011/Diving/Technique%20and%20Theory/GUE/Training%20Videos/

And it showed someone finning backwards.
I think this would be a very useful skill to learn - remember, as
a snorkeller I dont have rocks etc to push against if I want to
go backwards if current is pushing me beyond a point where I want
to stop.

What do all the old timers on this list think?
Is there any point? Can you all do it anyway?
I've tried it in the pool and couldn't!

Cheers
Carol
