I am looking at a rock wall in front of me. I am horizontal. I have perfect buoyancy so that if I hold my breath at the right time, I do not move at all (yes yes, no holding breath, but this is not my point).
If I wear my last weight (2#) on my tank valve, I slowly tip down headfirst so that I'm hanging (perfectly buoyant) upside down.
If I wear my last weight (2#) around my waist, I slowly tip down so my legs are hanging below me.
Am I correct that in the perfect world, I would be trim so that I would not tip in any specific direction when horizontal? So I'm assuming I should be moving my weights around until I fix this tipping problem? Any suggestions? I know if I swim even slightly, I don't have any problems, but I would prefer to be able to hang motionless.
So many people write about fixing their buoyancy, but that's never been my problem, I've had a lot more problems with trim.
