Speed Management

Guarantee No Preach!Please believe me when I say, I really do NOT want to come across all preachy, if that’s even a word, but I’m sure speed is one of those subjects where most parents / guardians will agree, that speed management is one of the most important skills a newly qualified diver needs to understand.
