LOL!! That can be a frightening thing!!

We dove the Cenotes, and the DM told us to frog kick, to help avoid the silting.

We had a videographer along on the trip. Long story short, we stopped for lunch and the videographer played the video while we ate.

I wasn't paying too much attention, until everyone at the table started to bust out laughing.

I looked up and, to my chagrin, it was me, "frog-kicking"

I looked like a wounded tadpole!! It was not a thing of beauty.

The good thing is, that seeing myself on video really helped me with my technique...
