How do you separate trim from buoyancy and proper weighting?Agreed, but at least then they'll only have to learn to trim themselves. Baby steps.

I don't but I'm not a buddha hover kind of guy.How do you separate trim from buoyancy and proper weighting?
Everything in the standards and procedures for OW.to include removal and replacement of BCD at depth?
I don't think trim is all that intuitive for most. Wasn't for me. Took fundies to really address all the bad habits I acquired. Several aspects of fundies should be the basis of open water courses, and with instructors who teach NB/T, it already is.I don't but I'm not a buddha hover kind of guy.

I didn’t know this Buddha hover was a thing: just googled it …It will be a long time before we stop seeing Buddha hovers
Everything in the standards and procedures for OW.
I routinely do all the basic 5 or 6ish skills while neutral and in trim but have a hard time imagining a scenario where I would have to remove and replace my bc at depth, little lone while neutrally buoyant.
The only scenario I could imagine would be diving solo and having to deal with a major failure in 1st stage or dealing with a major problem entanglement. Even then, in most cases seems like it would be better to be execute ascent without wasting time.
Perhaps I just don’t have a good enough imagination.
