I bought my first BC a Sea Quest Balance which is a weight integrated back inflate. I usually carry about 26 lbs on the jacket style BCs that I rent but at 26 lbs in by new BC I had to struggle to get down and stay down. I added 2 lbs on my second dive and it wasn' t much better. Could the buoyancy between the two be that much different? Jacket vs. Back? Any thoughts?
