I used to dive with Ranger and while trying to get my trim proper I kept moving up my tank to position the weight more up than down since I was consistently in feet down position. With the tank higher I was bothered by that same predicament. This lead me to buy weight pockets and finally a BP&Wings which is "my" answer for my trim problems.
Are you trying to compensate for a trim problem?

sorry guys im new, i dont know what trim means or what wings are. but ur right it is the first stage that hits me. i have my tank as low as i can i think. there is a 2 straps and a piece that goes over the second stage. i have it as low as i can with all pieces right. i am considering a new vest. could the fact that i am a large in a medium vest have anything to do with it. thanks. ps what is a vest under 250, for lake diving
This is not uncommon for 2 strap BC's, in order to accomodate two straps the second is higher than a single strap would be and it can be impossible to get it high enough on the tank.GLENNsim once bubbled...
