    Many divers start out flutter kicking, or bicycle kicking, when they get certified. Quickly however, you'll find that this can cause you to kick up silt, and has other issues as well for maneuverability. As divers learn more finning techniques, they may notice more experiences scuba divers doing what's known as the frog kick. Frog kicking benefits you by allowing you to keep your feet up and away from kicking sediment up, helps direct the flow of water as you kick away from the bottom instead of downward, helps you move more efficiently to save on air consumption, and allows you to easily perform other maneuvers like helicopter turns and work on back finning/kicking as well.
    This video teaches you how to frog kick and how to practice it with some at home drills and in water drills.

    Forg kick is the best kick. If you see me flutter kicking I’m having a real bad time 😂

    @SummersideDiver 4 месяца назад +7

    I find frog kicking less stressful on the body than flutter kicking. And since our local dives are all lakes, they’re all silty; flutter kicks make visibility poor so fast! I’ll definitely use some of the techniques you discuss to improve. Thanks for another great video.

  • @yonasngaturi8805
    @yonasngaturi8805 4 месяца назад +3

    Wow I didn’t know that you should still keep your legs extended during the glide portion and by doing that the fin tips won’t obstruct the residual push from the kick - thanks for that!

    • @CircleHScuba
      @CircleHScuba  4 месяца назад +1

      That glide is sweeeeet.
      I’ll say in current and surge and such, like frog kicking in general, it’s not as doable of course. But otherwise it’s nice and holding that position is the end of the “thrust” so movement after just disrupts it.

  • @Sherwoody
    @Sherwoody 4 месяца назад +6

    There are a lot of silty bottoms where I frequently dive, including wrecks. If you don’t frog kick, you and your dive buddies are very quickly in a 0 visibility situation.

    • @CircleHScuba

      @CircleHScuba I'm a very new diver with 7 dives in just shy of a year and discovered you and a few other chanels. I feel if I can RUclips learn photography I probably can find videos like this where I can work on technique on dry land. So I appreciate it!

    Does the stiffness of the fin matter? Is it easier to frog kick with a stiff fin?

    • @CircleHScuba
      @CircleHScuba  4 месяца назад +2

      Yes it is, and I very much should’ve said that. Split fins are virtually impossible to frog kick in for example

      They have a purpose for mobility but yeah, hard / nearly impossible to frog kick with them

    Hi bro. Nice video 👌🏻. I have a problem, my ankles are not to flexible and I don’t get de frog , moreover I use a Mares avantti 4 and I feel it to hard( I don’t have big legs muscles). So do u think that is a good idea change those fins maybe for smaller ones? Apeks Rk3 perhaps?, I don’t know. What do you recommend for me??? Thanks so much

    • @CircleHScuba
      @CircleHScuba  Месяц назад

      It may be the fins but it may just be a need to practice a bit. I’d have to see video of you trying or see you in person to try to help. I’d hate to say buy new fins when that may not be the problem. I use RK3s and love them, but that doesn’t mean you have to buy them too, you know what I mean?

    I think you lose credit by using other channel's videos instead of making your own.. I see you write the source on the bottom of your video with very small text (sometimes not even that). I think more people would appreciate your videos if you made them yourself

    • @CircleHScuba
      @CircleHScuba  3 месяца назад +2

      Really appreciate that feedback. The source is always there if it’s another channel. During the winter months it’s harder to get out and dive so it’s either source some footage with credit or not post anything on the channel. I’m not sure if using various examples makes the information less valuable, but I also agree that my hope is I can get to a point where nothing but my own original content is used for any and all b roll, where right now it’s about 75-80% my own content across all videos on my channel.
