Hi Maytag,

I usually use my Cressi 2000s. Spring diving beats up your fins pretty bad, so the Hybrids and Waterways stay home. So far, maneuvering has not been difficult.

Pony bottles? Same problems as in open water, too much drag, plus it would get in the way in a tight passage. In my case, it would be impossible to resist the urge to go "just a little bit deeper" with a pony, get me in trouble for sure.

Buddy diving is difficult. You can almost never see your buddy once he is very far under the surface and where we dive the tree limbs don't allow you to meet him at 30 ft or so on the way up. What I usually do is stay on the surface and watch the time. I know about how long my buddy will be down and then watch him carefully for several breaths after surfacing. Its not as good as it should be, but we don't push things, so nobody should be surfacing near his limits.

What part of the world are you from?
