Agreed. Looks like a lot, which points to overweighting.That seems like quite a lot of air to maintain neutral buoyancy at a safety stop. When I do a stop, I have to practically reach back with my hands and push out any remaining air and the thing is essentially empty and flat.
Yeah, if I was that inflated at a stop, I'd pop to the surface like a bobber.Agreed. Looks like a lot, which points to overweighting.
In the photo, it also looks like the bladder is attempting a pretty good taco. As all that air is at the highest point, it's got nowhere else to go. The image from the video shows some straps to prevent the bladder from going back around the tank. Are these present? Maybe tighten down a bit.
But, if that photo was at safety stop with a nearly empty tank, there is too much weight. Bladder should be empty or very nearly empty at that point.
