Re: Diving straight down in murkey waters, no line

You can practice diving with:
A) no mask or goggles = no vision
or
B) eyes closed
I recommend always having one arm extended, and don't descend too fast. Worst case you gently hit your head (happened to me before).
In many cases of bad visibility, diving with eyes totally closed can be more relaxing.
I recommend using your extended arm in front of your mask, to prevent a rock from dislodging your mask.
Also, even in total darkness, you can tell up from down, if you concentrate (it takes a bit of practice). Just concentrate on the feeling inside your head, and in your lungs/stomach.
