Wow! I never thought I’d get so many helpful tips!!!!! My bouyancy is actually pretty close to spot on once I get over that 1-15 feet hump. We even hovered at like 15 (ok I stayed around 18 but whatever) for our safety stop and I never had a problem. My instructor noticed that there was some air trapped in my BC on the left side so he dumped it. Not really sure if that solved the problem but we shall see. I hardly ever have to put air in it once I get to depth.
I am hoping to go diving this weekend so I’m going to try out these great ideas of breathing, etc. Thanks again for the help!!!
