Teaching breath hold diving via a new technique. The candid camera went to Balmoral Beach in Sydney to see how a new dive school was making out.
Following the principle of no face masks, this particpant is taught how not be terrified with water being in contact with eyes. Conventional methods keep the face dry within a face mask.
Potentially very useful later when progressing to Tanya Streeter style extra deep breath-hold dives in more mature life when only a nose-clip is worn to equalize ear pressure. A face mask avoided by many to prevent 'squeeze'.
Chief instructor: AJ "Tony" Flook is no fluke with his results from young students, like daughter Sasha (pictured).
