First time using a DPV (it's a Gavin).... Mark Messersmith gave me a rundown of the use of DPV's and allowed me practice in the run at Ginnie Springs. This was a video taken by Mark of me using my "left" hand (which was more difficult than right hand use). Really good fun and very informative... spent another day using a Gavin with Doug Mudry and spent a lot of time practicing OOA, towing and other emergency proceedures... In summary - this was my first time using a DPV but sure wont be my last.... Good news is that by the end of the few days of working with DPV's I got my fins much more stable and was able to execute left/right tight turns, emergency stop and OOA airshare as well as tow and be towed... :)
