Hi all
I realise that it is harder to maintain neutral buoyancy in shallow water than it is in deeper water, so I have been trying to work on my buoyancy skills on recent shallow dives (<30ft max depth).
On a dive last weekend, I got myself to neutral, horizontally trimmed, and was quite comfortable staying at that depth 15 feet +/- 1 foot with breathing (it was cold and I was breathing deep!).
When I came out of horizontal trim to vertical trim, without changing anything else, I found myself ascending quite rapidly.
I was hoping that someone could venture an opinion as to why that might have happened?
Cheers
Sean
