Looking for some thoughts on my buoyancy.
I took a two year break from diving. Mainly just busy with changing jobs, moving half way across the country. etc. I got my AOW PADI cert in 2010 and I logged 54 dives in 2010, mostly freshwater lakes but some advanced deep-ish wrecks like the spiegle grove. From about 20 dives in, I really focused on buoyancy practice. Some times when diving in a dive lake I would spend almost an entire dive working mid water skills while maintaining a horizontal trim. I've never seen a picture of my self in trim position So I have no idea how it really is.
So I did a fun dive at the local dive lake over the weekend and it's my second dive for over two years. During the dive I felt my neck get sore from looking forward. I'm wondering if I'm too "head down". I don't remember having the sore neck as if I'm constantly looking at the ceiling. I feel that I'm arching my back but maybe not enough. I don't think my attituded is extremely forward (head down) but maybe I'm too horizontal or very slightly head down? Thoughts?
