I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so I figured adv. scuba would garner the right focus and publicity.
After looking at photos from last summer I noticed my trim isn't where I want it to be for single tank warm water diving.
Wearing: 3mm full wetsuit and 6lb SS backplate, al80, I am neutrally buoyant at the end of the dive.
Problem: It seems that I am foot-heavy (legs sagging)
Additional Problem: I recently moved to Hollis F1's which are more negative than the fins I was using previously.
I was thinking of adding a few pounds onto the cam band to put weight above my center of gravity, but wasn't sure if this was a bad idea. My only aversion to it is that I would start the dive even more negative and finish the dive negative. I doubt I would have a problem swimming up the additional weight so balanced rig seems okay.
I thought I saw TSandM post somewhere once about lowering the tank but I don't recall the reason or effects.
Ideas? Thought?
PS. I do have my arms extended, as far as pictures show my shoulders to knees are inline, and the tank is already raised as high as I can reasonably reach the valve.
