Anybody else suck at the dead mans float, what the secret to it without moving your hand and legs, because I suck at it, I'm trying to practice it for OCS but I just sink right to the bottom.

The easiest way: put more fat on your body :D

Try either stretching your arms over head or bending your knees or both - it will move your center of gravity around, and if you find the right place you'll float.

the dead man's float is one of the easiest things to do in the water since even a dead man can do it. the key is to drop your head by tucking your chin to your chest but at the same time relaxing the rest of you body a little bit. also put your arms above your head and separate your legs and you shouldn't have any problems floating.
