Choosing Dive Buddies

[Benderr]

Holy Crap! I was just forwarded a video of a guy flutter kicking and pulling and gliding through clay in Cow from about a week ago.

So one rule to choosing buddies should be if you're buddy sucks, shut off the damn camera and thumb the dive.

If you saw the video you'd say a crying icon fits better

Can you PM me the link?

I think I just saw the same thing. Sad.

If split fins were involved then you did. Some people may say its not awful, but thats an edited video. So that means there was much more pulling and gliding in a clay bank than we're being allowed to see

That's the one. Cringe worthy.

You might as well post the link. Otherwise, people will be asking for it for a week.

I think I have seen the video. If it is the one I saw on Facebook the camera man is Guy Bryant. I think he has been cave diving since the early 70's. His normal subject is Paul Deloach. Paul has been diving since the 60's. He doesn't frog kick either and I have seen people bash the videos on Facebook. I personally enjoy watching them because other than the lights Paul is using it is old school. It just goes to show how far things have come. For those that don't know the flutter kick must work for them as Paul Deloach is who Deloach's Delight is named after. I don't know the diver in this video but I take it he is old school and probably uses split fins for a health reason. Times have changed but I hope Guy keeps making the videos.

You can't see what the camera guy does, just the subject. I don't really care about the flutter kick. The grabbing and pulling the silt/clay is pretty scary though. I get stuff has changed, but you gotta change with the times.

So where's the link?

Safe diving,

Most likely this is the video in question. The diver pictured is not Paul Deloach.

Actually fairly good video. Too bad he didn't have a better subject. Maybe we need a sign explaining what the rope is for

Luckily that was sand he was pulling on, not silt. The next flood will erase the hand prints in sand.

Another question. Can you actually frog kick with split fins?

I wasnt sure if it was sand or clay. Either way its not cool. If the dude does that there, he'll do more elsewhere.

I'm no expert or perfect diver, but if I ever do that and my buddies dont publicly shame me I'd be pissed.

I do agree its a good video.
