Soooo....
I'm taking an Intro to Tech class, have a few dives on my drysuit (still pretty green to it, though) and I'm trying to achieve something like horizontal trim.
Unfortunately, air tends to rise to the highest point--my legs/feet. I've searched a few threads on this problem, and discovered that most people think this will work itself out over time with minimal gas in the suit, a few people like gaiters as a preliminary step, and a small minority like ankle weights (controversial).
Beyond gaiters, anyone have any concrete tips for bubble management and buoyancy? It may be one of those "feel" things, but anything I can do to get the hang of how to keep the gas where I want it would be appreciated!
