dude, experienced divers, at times will cross their arms in front of them or extend them or keep close to their bodies. This is not done to appear relaxed, cool or experienced but to accommodate is changes in trim due to the changing buoyancy of the tank as it empties. You my friend are off balance and should strive to relax and feel the water a bit more rather than locking yourself in one fixed position. I'd think you'd feel the difference. Especially in current.
