@Lorenzoid First and foremost, be properly weighted. Get all air out of the wing while still on the boat, and as much air out of the suit as you can. Double check and triple check that your dump valve is open. Do your backward roll and immediately go vertical, head up, making sure that your left arm is in a good position for dumping air. Do not bother trying to keep up with descending wet divers: you won't. Relax and remain completely still - no finning! - for 10-15 seconds to rearrange the air inside the suit. Your dump valve will start doing its job almost immediately. You may find yourself on the surface or close to it in the process but no worries. As soon as the valve stops dumping air, fully exhale and you will start descending. Remain vertical - head up! - and do not fin or inhale until 1,5-2 meters, then go into trim and continue descent.
Finning down from the surface sucks. You'll have ten liters of air in each leg and likely won't go anywhere unless overweighted. Graceful it ain't.
An alternative solution: add 10 kg of lead. You'll sink like a rock.
