I concur with the BC and trapped air again. As my diving life turned from "MY diving" to "Sharing diving" I have noticed the people who have decent problems often have a big pillow of air on the back of their necks.
I arch back roll my shoulder to the left and do the "Drager Shake." One of those old salty guys gave me this name. Apparently the old rebreathers would trap air and the diver would shake like a dog to get the bubbles out at the start of a dive. (One of those old ft pierce guys.)
I know i have done the shoulder roll, arch back held up the dump hose then when I did the little shake some bubbles would pop out so it works for me.
The fin kicking and deep exhale are also excellent tech.
As to pounds of lead. I am a diving snob. If you are diving with 25# of lead, less than 3mm, and not 7' tall you have definite weighting problems. Either at sea, on land, or both.
Fat is bad. It floats, steals Oxygen, and stores Nitrogen. Plus it is a chick repellent.
Happy diving and remember perfect pratice makes perfect.
