  • I recently saw one doing this. It was a different design where I think it was meant to look like it’s waving at the elbow, but much of the time, the “bicep” part deflated and the arm dropped, then to get into the wave position again, would come out the front of the body.

    To translate the arm movement, it was like, “Hello! Hello! Hello!.. Heil! Hello! Hello!.. Heil!”





  • Haha, I just responded to another comment of having to pull myself up from shallow drowning. It’s for real, but I think it’s specific to people with good long capacities—doing a lot longer than the average. I can easily hold my breath for 60s, but 90% of people can’t. Shallow drowning is not a situation 90% of people could find themselves facing.

    I always remember brain damage can start occuring after 180s, so start questioning at 120. Nothing wrong with coming up for a couple mins of good fresh air before going down again.


  • It’s not really about what you can see and clarity, but it’s true that clearer water is much more psychologically inviting.

    We’ll bring a smooth granite pebble out with us, while waiting for the swell, drop it down and take turns bringing it back up. We’ve had dolphins join us in the game once before.

    But definitely I don’t feel the appeal of diving down and doing that when the sky or water is dark and unclear. It’s less inviting.
