Hi all,
I got an interesting, issue. I hesitate to call it a problem because I've just learned to deal with it and it doesn't seem to be a big bother.
See, here it is. I've got lead legs. If I remain motionless in the water at depth, my legs will soon sink, making me vertical. I have rather muscular legs and that I know is the reason.
As long as I maintain even the *slightest* amount of movement, it doesn't bother me, and my legs stay where they need to be. Like I said, not really a problem for me. Maybe this is just normal?
Are your legs negative too? Does it bother you?
I have some weight pockets on the back of my BC (Zeagle Ranger LTD) and I noticed that they can be switched to the top strap, moving my center of gravity higher, I think this might help, when I actually put weight in them that is.
What do you think? Other ideas? Don't worry about it?
Thanks!
Darin
EDIT: I should add that I have had good luck diving in my drysuit W/O ankle weights...legs seem to behave better....
