Look Ma, no hands, knees or fins!
Education, Meme, Recreational
Swimmers who are new to diving tend to have a bad habit of using their hands to swim.
Tender hands tend to get cut on sharp coral, especially if divers are unaware of their position in the water.
Knees and fins are also commonly seen on reefs, kicking up silt and breaking delicate coral.
Getting your hands and legs under control is one of the first things new divers should concentrate on.
Get streamlined and start to look like a real diver!
