While your muck stick is no substitute for learning proper buoyancy, if conditions warrant the use of one, it is better than disturbing the sand. ![]() Many underwater photographers use muck sticks to maintain stability when the current is too strong for them to remain still. When diving in sandy or silty sites, such as the ocean bed or lake bed, the scuba pointer stick is a great way to avoid disturbing the bed, causing the sand or silt to rise, which in turn reduces visibility. You can also use your diving stick to point out nearby dangers. This works well when pointing out hungry morays to the group and looking to save your fingers, or when pointing out tiny nudibranchs on the rocks that no one seems to notice. The diving stick, as its name suggests, is primarily used by divers, instructors, and divemasters to point out marine life or interesting coral to their diving group without getting too close or touching the creatures. ![]() The XS Scuba Dive Master Pointer with Attachment Clip / Available at As a pointer
