Ok, so this may be an old question that I just cannot find the answer to.
Going through my photos from my Cayman Aggressor trip, I noticed that in every underwater photo my trim is slightly fins down. It's not dramatic, and no one ever commented on it. But unlike the classic "body parallel, finsup" trim, mine seems to be body parallel, fins down. See photo.
I'm barely using any leads at this point (6#-8#) in a full 3mm suit. However, I wonder if the culprit are my actual fins, Apex RK3s which are super heavy. I do notice that when I hover, my feet tend to drift down.
My question, am I better off removing my ditch weight modules entirely from my BC (AL Rogue) and placing those weights higher up the BC? Or swapping fins for something something lighter (my diving is almost exclusively warm water)? Or something else?
