There is increased stability in the forward motion when riding at a normal speed, and therefore, the scooter will not
sink even when there is a certain level of negative buoyancy.
Because the diver's entire body is being hit with an appropriate amount of water current, using the body as a rudder
for steering and hands as breaks is very effective thus providing a high level of freedom in underwater movement.
Therefore, when riding in an area where water depths vary,
buoyancy that is perfectly neutral can actually prove to be
a hindrance. However, in traveling long distances through
water with constant depth, it is better to attain neutral
buoyancy, since this will improve battery efficiency and
make it easier for the diver to stay underwater.
Under normal speed, the diver can make left or right turns easily by
using the body as a rudder for steering and the hands as breaks.
The diver must try to maintain directional control while moving forward
by bending your body at the waist towards the target or direction
you intend to travel.
Similarly, in high-speed riding, having slightly negative buoyancy will make it easier to maintain control.
Riding form is very important for high-speed riding.
The diver should be aware of the surrounding water current, and keep the frontal body area as low profile as
possible. Also, the diver should try to reduce drag and may obtain increased speed by holding one fist out in front
of the body.
At high speed, the difference between Pitch 1 and Pitch 2 is very subtle.
At Pitch 1, the maximum level of efficiency cannot be achieved unless the divers equipment is low profile and body
posture is good.
The turning radius becomes larger at high speed, and therefore the diver must be careful of obstacles.

Steering with your body. (Using your upper body as a rudder)
The diver's entire body, from the top of one's head to the tips of one's fins, is used as a rudder. It is especially effective to
use the upper body, as you will be propelled in the direction to which your body is bent.
The diver arches one's body back while thrusting one's chest forward.
The scooter will curve toward the diver's back in a large
circular motion.
With open turns the diver feels safe because the diver is able to see
where the diver is going while turning.
The diver bends forward at one's stomach. This allows for a sharp turn.
However, it is difficult for the diver to see where the diver is going,
or judge the depth of water.
This turn is also used to go into a drift mode.
The diver creates resistance on either side of the diver by "holding the palm of a hand against the water current",
or "holding an arm away from the body".
This will reduce the speed on the side that the resistance is created, causing the scooter to veer toward that direction.
This technique is used to make slight adjustments in the direction to which the scooter is already moving.
Turn with holding the grip and move the scooter by grip compulsively for
adjustment of turn.
This way makes smoother like car driving during turn.
