Scuba Fin Pivot

The Fin Pivot is one of the oldest techniques that you can use to practice controlling your buoyancy with your lungs. It is very important to have great buoyancy while scuba diving and try to use our lungs as the main part to control that buoyancy. The Fin Pivot is perfect to learn to use your lungs the right way in the beginning or your scuba diving lessons. Steps for the Fin Pivot Skill 1. Make sure you are fully deflated 2. Lay flat on your belly 3. Spread your legs and try to stretch them ****( Important: Make sure the when you perform the Fin Pivot that your fins are not touching any aqua life )***** 4. Inhale and see if you start to rise 5. If not than add a little bit of air into your BCD by using the inflator button of your LPI 6. Take another deep breath (if you still don't rise, then repeat the steps before) 7. When you inhale you should start to rise 8. When you start rising start exhaling as there is a delay in buoyancy and the size of your lungs 9. try not to kick, scull and do "push-ups" with your hands 10. Be streamlined and only rise and fall using your lungs
