Still amazed, every video is a master piece. From the videography to the perfect break down. Every video I am blown away by the eye for detail! Can't wait to get back into the water in Tenerife and get challenged to become better!
I'm only 27 dives in, but I've dedicated HOURS in the pool to buoyancy and back kick. I do laps in reverse until i get bored. It's helped out immensely!
EXCELLENT video... might even be the best one out there, but that narrating was so dark. Felt like I was I'm the DC universe 😂 Keep up great content, all good stuff

Great videos! Will happily share them with people in need for proper examples on all these skills! Things I look for often: how to stow your standard gear (reels, spare mask, etc) / proper rigging and length of the bailout cylinders, deco cilinders (backmount / sidemount / ccr), etc
Congrats for the videos, they are great for the content as well as for the production! Just to continue on propulsion techniques, a video about side kick would be interesting.
Nice tip on the ankle tension to control the fin position. When I backfin I tend to start dragging myself upwards in reverse (not a problem with bouyancy as I can literally feel that my legs are pulling me up) instead of in a straight line. Will try this out tomorrow.
@snap4433221 The problem you describe is fairly typical amongst our students. To fix what you describe, you have to find a fixed reference point on the horizon and keep an eye on it while back finning. The reason you are travelling up is because you tend to look down most likely, and that is 100% causing such issues.
Wow, I just can't do it, and worse if I raise my calves to vertical like that the air shifts and my drysuit wants to flip me upside down. Thanks for video, I'll keep practicing
That's the way :) Cosinder signing up to our newsletter and get notified first hand on our upcoming master series website where you can get hands-on help with actually correcting your technique !
Keep in mind that there is absolutely no point of practising this skill longer than 20 minutes max at times. Remember to have recovery breaks every 3-4 minutes just as the video stating 😉
Thank you very much for the great explanation, can’t wait to practice this! But the voiceover is a bit monotonous, made me too relaxed (as for meditation) and I missed the body movement explanations several times! 😅
A constructive appreciation. I'm sorry, but this technique is not entirely correct. In preparation for the retrieve, you lower the tips of the fins excessively. And it seems to be the same in the helicopter manoeuvre. In confined spaces, both manoeuvres would project the water against the bottom, and in the case of sediment, it would lift it up, clouding the environment.
I kindly disagree. The point is to reset your legs as slow as possible, which will prevent silting. I use this exact technique in caves that has zero flow therefore, very silty and has never experienced any issues.
I am not saying it is badly done. It's just a point, which can be improved by stretching the fins parallel to the bottom as slow as possible. I performed the kick the same way as in the video and was corrected. Even so, congratulations for the videos, they are very good.

The production of these videos is incredible. Crisp, succinct, and high quality.
Thanks very much! Great to hear some positive feedback, definitely keep us motivated to deliver more stuff

Thanks Remco 👌 let's get wet in January :)
holy moly that buoyancy in the last chapter !! wow... we need more !! thanks guys
Our pleasure!

Amazing, that's the way to get better! Glad to see there are dedicated divers out there :)

These videos are by far the best out there in terms of scuba education
Quality, as ever! Glad we're back to SM too. 😉👌👍
thanks !! yup we will focus a bit more on SM :)
Super useful and awesome skill!
thanks a bunch, stay tuned for more!
Wow. The sidemount channel that CZcams was missing. Any chance you're also planning on doing cave(rn) diving skill videos?
Thanks very much. Yes we will have more overhead specific content coming up shortly, lots of goodies in the making. Happy you enjoy!
Great videos! Will happily share them with people in need for proper examples on all these skills!

Great suggestions, thanks ! We are working hard on a bunch of new things, so stay in the loop :)

Thanks, will do!
Diving with Star Wars vibes? Fcking yas! Subscribed!

@@flowstatedivers thanks for your extra feedback! Definitely something to keep my mind on.
Great videos! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
outstanding content, clear and to the point

Just a few weeks back I spent about one and half hour in a pool with the intention of learning back kick. I can attest to the frustration at least 😂
Keep in mind that there is absolutely no point of practising this skill longer than 20 minutes max at times. Remember to have recovery breaks every 3-4 minutes just as the video stating 😉
@@flowstatedivers yes, thanks. Will keep that in mind next time. I was absolutely f'ed up by the end that day

Bloody brilliant, the video production is spot on and the voice over. Deep and sexy. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Curious - where this was filmed?
We are based in Tenerife, Canary Islands 🇮🇨 all our stuff is filmed here
Anyone else see the duck at 1:58?
Good catch 🤣
