On my 3.1, I have a dive computer (Sherewater Peregrine) mounted as a console near the back of the nose cone (by the baffle). On the front of the nose cone is where I mount my camera.
Because of the weight and the raised aspect of the two devices and the handle, the DPV tended to roll over when you release it. This in Salt Water.
I have fixed the tendency to roll over by putting external weight pockets on nose cone opposite of the handle and mounted devices. I played with the exact weight (in .25 pound increments) till I achieved the perfect orientation of the DPV, it will no longer want to roll over.
However, it is probably .5 of a pound too heavy, so it is not neutral - I would actually want it to be slightly positive in salt water.
What I am looking for are attachments that will provide just a bit of buoyancy that can be attached to the top of the DPV so as to counter the tendency to roll over and allow me to lower the weights to achieve neutral or positive buoyancy.
Seacraft makes these for their DPV's ( Additional buoyancy foam | Seacraft ). Anyone have any ideas on what to do on a Genesis?
Thanks!
