I have started doing my first open-water constant ballast dives, and love it! However, one of the things I find is that after about an hour, it seems that I tend to get calf cramps (usually at the bottom!)
I don't think my foot-pockets are too tight (they have some play while swimming on the surface, with a bootie on), but I suppose it could be possible.
As the cramps are rather inconvenient :mute when trying to get back up to the surface, I would like to avoid them.
Is it due to inexperience (2 months) with long-blade fins, lack of stretching, build up of lactate from continuous exercise under apnea, or what? Again, this usually only happens after about an hour of diving.
Many thanks,
Cal
