I'm also usually feet heavy. A quick bend underwater putting my head and feet down and my butt up tends to move the (small) air bubble in my wing closer to my butt and puts me in fairly level trim.
Sometimes I have to repeat after I've gone into a really head down position to observe a...
I dove T&C last June and has 12 great dives. Not too many large pelagics though, if that is what you are looking for.
If you get a chance to do a night dive to see the glow worms bioluminescence definitely do that - it was amazing!
It is possible! It is shown on the third page of the dive's log entry on the Eon core or Steel- at least on version 3 of the firmware.

Or my choice of software - MacDive on my iPhone. Downloads easily to the phone from the Eon via Bluetooth.
Was on a liveaboard last week where one of the divers was using the Applewatch Ultra + Oceanic for his Dive Computer. Mid week the computer decided to lock him out as "his license had expired"
According to the diver he had a a 1 year license with many months left on it. We suspect the watch...
I love my Fourth Element Proteus II - but more importantly, the 2 females I know who have one also love theirs.
We are 3 widely varying body shapes and all agree the suit fits as per the size chart, and is very well sealed with almost no water flow through it. The back and neck are a unique...
One of my buddies just records visibility as emojis. Something like this from good to bad:
:):wink::(:mad:
In my local dives visibility often varies dramatically by depth or at different parts of the dive site. I had visibility of about 1 foot from 0 to 35 feet deep and visibility of about 80...
As I read this the OP has done 1 pool dive in a drysuit. I have a different recommendation than all the equipment changes listed above (ankle weights, different fins, gaiters, rubber weight belt etc)
More Practice.
Especially with an instructor helping. Everyone takes a while to get used to...
I add mine on particularly cold days or when I have longer dives planned. It definitely adds warmth, I'm happy with it. It also needs 3 to 4 extra pounds of lead.
In the past I've always gotten my cards within a week or two here in Canada. When one didn't arrive within 4 weeks I used the Help > Contact Us form on Padi.com and got a quick reply and new card sent that arrived in a week.

While supporting your LDS it never hurts to ask if they can offer you a deal. Gear prices are often fairly soft and can often be negotiated down a bit.
It's been invented. A Drysuit!
I too am foot heavy. On descent I do a few contortions to get the right amount of air in each foot and Voila! Perfect trim!
While doing my dive master training I was assisting a class where a student had a fin strap snap at depth just after descent.
The fin was really loose and wobbling without the strap, so I gave him one of my fins and completed the dive with one fin while carrying the broken fin. Did mostly a...
I'd suggest the inflation valve comfort patch. My Bare drysuit has one (of a different design) and I really notice the cold inflation air come in when I manage to get it folded out of position.
Also when I was considering a Seaskin I though the name patch would be really cool!
You just convinced me not to get a "Cargo Thigh Pocket" for my Scubapro Hydros. This sounds similar to the one you were using but with a single leg strap instead of 2.
Descending from a moored buoy, my buddy got his BCD oral inflation mouthpiece caught in one of the mooring chain links at about 5m depth. He couldn't see what was preventing him from ascending or descending and was a bit panicky.
I had to give it a really good yank in just the right direction...
And how do I use those tables without knowing how deep my dive was? A depth gauge is needed as well, that might increase the total price to be very close to a cheap computer.
