I am currently wanting to become a certified SCUBA diver. The issue that I have with this is the pre-qualifications in order to get the certification (treading water for 20 minutes and the 200yd swim.) I have no doubt that I will be able to pass the swimming portion of this test but what concerns me is the treading water. I have cerebral palsy and have very limited movement with my legs as far as trying to use them to stay afloat. I have adapted to diving with limited use of my legs but treading water makes me a little nervous. I mainly use my arms and hands to tread with the use of interval flutter kicks. Its more of a bobbing motion when done. Any one have any advice to possibly improve the technique or maybe a different method of treading water?
