WHY DO YOU STRUGGLE TO DIVE STRAIGHT? 🎯🌊

At the beginning of the dive, several forces are working against you.

⬆️ Buoyancy
Near the surface, buoyancy is still pushing you upward while you’re trying to go down.

🦵 Uneven kicking
If one leg is stronger than the other, your body can rotate or drift off the line.

↪️ Elbows out
An elbow outside the streamline creates extra drag on one side. That uneven resistance can push or rotate the body.

⚖️ Poorly positioned weights
If the weight belt is not balanced correctly, your body can naturally tilt or turn to one side.

🌊 Current
Even a light current can move you away from the line, especially when you’re still positively buoyant near the surface.

🧍 Poor body position
Chin up, shoulders open, hips out of line or a broken streamline all create unnecessary resistance.

THE SOLUTION ✅

• Equal power from both legs
• Consistent kicking rhythm
• Chin in
• Elbows inside
• Keep the body streamlined
• Balance the weight belt correctly
• Use your upper body to control direction
• Correct your trajectory early
• Adapt your angle to the current

The goal is simple:

Create one clean line from the surface and stop fighting the water. 🎯
