All my second stages sink when out of my mouth so this is a new one on me. I did find Got2Go's post about the newer Aqualungs being a little buoyant interesting. Of course my gear almost qualifies as vintage!
 
I bet it is the mouth piece. I replaced the mouth piece on my Hog Classic with a comfo-bite and it sucked. It was so soft that I could not hold it in my mouth with my lips, it was like I was trying to hold jelly. I literally surfaced, went to my dive box and swapped the mouth piece back out.

This is what I put on that sucked..

If your teeth are like your avatar, no wonder you couldn't hold it!!!:yeahbaby::yeahbaby:
 
The point about vertical vs horizontal may be right on. I felt like I was well trimmed when swimming and was very horizontal and I didn't notice anything then, but when we stopped to do skills we would be kneeling or standing on a platform and that's when I'd notice the issue.
Since you should not be kneeling or standing on a platform to do skills this will be a non issue in the future. Skills should be done while swimming or hovering in a neutral position.
