What I did to help compensate for sucking lots of air was to buy a set of AL-100’s. I might rely on that strategy again if I plan on doing much inland diving. I didn’t do any open ocean dives on them but it’s another option to think about. The instructor at Playground Dive shop in Blue Springs, Mo thinks I just need better buoyancy control and maybe trim some extra lead weight. We shall see how I do after a few years off.
