Hi,
I just got my first BP/W a Paragon from Subgravity with a SS backplate. I tried it yesterday in my pool and noticed a few things:
1. When rotating from side to side I could hear the air moving to whatever side was upward. Is that normal? I didn't hear nearly the same amount of noise of air moving with my old jacket style bc
2. I used to use 10lb of weight, but today sank pretty fast with just the backplate which weighs 6lb. Is this because the jacket bc have more buoyancy from the padding? Or maybe the BPW is heavier with the D rings?
3. I was really feet heavy. Any suggestions on how to adjust the backplate and harness so I'll be more vertical?
4. If I'm not doing a primary reg donate with my backup on a necklace, where is a good place to clip my octo? Do people use the right shoulder D ring?
Thanks!
