Hey everyone! Thank you so much for all the great advice! I appreciate it
I used a back inflate BCD again this week, and I realized I can feel the vibrations from the bubbles on the hand pulling the dump valve. It is very mild though, and it requires deep concentration. Hearing the bubbles is even harder, with the underwater marine life chatter, humming from the dive boat, my own or a nearby diver's breathing, ... And yes
@undrwater, I do wear a hood!
Maybe it's just not the right BCD for me
Yes, totally right! I was trying to highlight in my original post that I'm looking for
immediate feedback that doesn't involve me waiting the 1 to 2 seconds to confirm my buoyancy as changed. For example, if I don't time it with my breathing, I think nothing happened, I pull the dump valve again, and I'm positively buoyant.
