Avon - actually, I don't mind getting made fun of (I make fun of myself!) - what I'd REALLY really love are pointers. I'm not consistently in the same kind of water (fresh versus salt) and I can't get my buoyancy to a point where I'm comfortable. When we go on vacation there's always this rush to get off the boat and go SEE SOMETHING - so buoyancy checks seem like a waste of time for the dive crew (or maybe that's me putting pressure on myself). When we're diving locally I'm in different gear (different suit, weights, fins) so I'm readjusting everything. We're headed out for a local dive the first weekend in April (8/7 semi-dry and all the weight that goes with it) and I'd love some ideas of how to best use my time to work on buoyancy. I.e., are there things you practiced over and over or just go out for fun and let the buoyancy just "happen"? And yes, I did get the peak performance buoyancy certification - but still don't feel like I've nailed it. (Should I post this someplace else too?) Thanks!
