At the recommendation of my Instructor / Dive Shop owner, I purchased this BP with the intent of single tank diving. My issue is when diving a single, the wing throws me on my face at the surface. I have lowered the Cam straps and mounted thye tank lower and also used 8 lbs of trim weights, but that still did not completely correct the problem. Any suggestions?
 
How much air do you have in the wing? It is common for 'newer' back inflate divers to over inflate wings on the surface. Try lowering yourself in the water (chin level), lying back slightly, moving your feet and legs forward, similar to sitting on stool.

Just enpough to stay on the surface. I can lay back and overcome it with the trim weights, but it feels like I am having to fight the setup.
