So I have been boat diving with a guide in the water with 2-8 customers quite a bit recently. The guide will often stop, turn around in a sitting position to count their customers and see if anyone needs help, ask for a gas check, point things out etc.
Now I have tried this position and find it incredibly hard to maintain. Hard to not descend and seems to want to put me all the way on my back. Not a skill taught in any of my courses. I can't find a video online to teach this skill. Seems like a useful skill to be able to do.
Second buoyancy question. Is it just me or have others noted that it is easier to be a little positively buoyant so you maintain neutrality by a little longer exhale? It seems when I am neutral or negatively buoyant I am wasting gas by inhaling to maintain a certain position.
