I'm a IANTD tech instructor and a GUE T2/C2 diver with a rebreather....Like my trim?? Don't take diving or dive agencies too seriously. Yes I believe 100% that good trim and buoyancy are the basics of being a good diver. PS: can't believe there are 20+ pages with comments on something so silly (and now I've contributed as well, silly me).
PPS: can't believe that I said "anal retentive" so much in 1 post. I must be anal!
What I learned from Fundies however is control over my buoyancy. That's invaluable, not the "right trim position".
Thank you for that. As an avid ditchable-weight-proponent, I sometimes get a mite annoyed at those who preach "no ditchable weight, no matter the circumstances" (only a slight amount of hyperbole here). And since I have the impression that self-professed DIRers seem to be over-represented in that crowd, I think it's nice to see a self-professed DIRer claiming the opposite.
The right tool for the right job.
Feet too high is often associated with excess positive buoyancy meaning the diver has to expend extra effort continually swimming downhill, they then breathe too hard, inhale to much and start an uncontrolled ascent whist desperately pulling their ineffective shoulder dump.

now i want to know !I've had a big hole in my wing during a wreckdive (don't ask my how... I was a real fool ;-)) but when I located the hole by altering my position in the water I could keep the hole low and still use the wing.
Cheers
also to lower C of gravity
