MHK once bubbled...
Part of why I'm trying to discuss the skill is because ad hoc ideas like using weights on the tank is using gear to solve a skill problem. Accordingly, if you learn how to adjust, and learn the skill you'll have trim no matter what tank(s) you dive, no matter what wetsuit or drysuit you dive..
Once you understand the interplay between balance, trim and buoyancy, and how to adjust them, the rest of diving is easy.. The fundamental platform must get squared away and learned first, and then from there you can make any adjustment to balance yourself, trim yourself and adjust your buoyancy..
Thanks for the help I will try what we discussed this weekend at the lake, in the meantime my wife will have a good laugh as she watches me practice on the living room floor....
