Hi All,
I am so glad that I can find this informative scuba diving website! I have just completed the Open Water course recently and I really fall in love with diving. Meanwhile, I am taking the Advanced course right now. however, I found that it's really difficult to control my buoyancy.
I was told to add more weight as I always ascent uncontrolly. My body weight is 48kg/105 lbs, but I use 12 to 13 lbs weight belt. Is it too heavy for me? Is there any ways to check the weight which is suitable for me? I heard that the water surface should be at my eye line with a normal breathe held, it is right?
I also heard that diver should inflate a BCD while desenting, is it truth?
I really want to learn more about scuba diving, especially the techniques. Any good websites suggest?
Butsee, an Open Water Diver
