Hello,
I'm involved in apnea for about 4 years now and my PBs are :100m in dynamic,5:01 in static and -41m in constant weight(didn't have a chance to spend more time at sea training).I have a pair of GARA 2000 LD and i've decided to buy new fins.The problem that bothers me is :
In constant weight in the inicial part of the dive (start of the descent when I have to fight buoyancy) I use bifining technique and when I descend some 15-20 meters I use monofin kicking to the end of the descent.While ascending I use bifining technique.In dynamic apnea I use monofin strokes and it's far more relaxing than bifin stroke(only in dynamic).Also I've tried some monofins and it's too uncomfortable and strange,while monofin kicking with bifins is ok.
I'm about 1,80m ,85kg and I have normal legs in terms of strenght.
So,the main question is what to buy :C4 or a monofin ?In both cases I would buy a softer
blade because I prefer slower wide strokes.I think for that kind of technique
soft blades are better,am I right?
