I'm a relatively new diver (OW last year, 22 dives since then, including 5-6 since June. I have always had an issue with my legs sinking even when my total weight is right (15'/5m safety stop, 500psi in tank, no air in BC, adjust depth with breathing). This is the case whether I am in a 3mm wetsuit in Cozumel, or a 7mm in New England.
With my 7mm, I have already moved 6lb up from my BC pockets to the tank band (3 in each pocket), and am thinking I need to move a bit more up. Is that the only reasonable way of correcting this? My fins are slightly negative, so I know that is something I could change, but until I do, is moving weight around the best way?
