I've asked dumb questions before but here goes again. I have 11 OW dives and several pool practice sessions working on buoyancy, trim, controlling ascent etc. I'm starting to be very comfortable underwater. I feel in control and able to move as I want to. I still have a lot to learn but I'm getting better.
Here is my problem. Waiting on the surface is a major pain. I changed to an Sherwood Avid jacket style BCD and that helped some but I still feel very unbalanced and out of control on the surface. My feet float up in front, or they float up in back and I feel like I'm just flopping around. Surely there are some techniques to help me get this sorted out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm 71 years old, 5'11" and 260 lb
