I"m working on my trim at this moment and I would love to ask you, experienced guys, about what your body position is during accent and submerging. I have clear understanding about how the dry suit works and that the dry suit and BCD valve should be the on the top of the whole system for the air to go out
The question is more about most optimal position that you have found for yourself during those 2 stages of the dive.
Well if we have the most optimal position during the dive - horizontal while submerging I usually take the vertical position just let all air out of the suit to get to the valve and while having the valve at on the top of the whole system wait for the air to leave the suit or purge it depending on how much I have. Them lift the bcd valve and purge enough air to be able to submerge while exhaling, then gradually change my body position to horizontal with my knees bent. As I go down I add more air into dry suit to eliminate the squeeze and to BCD to be neutral.
When ascending horizontally as the air in the legs cannot escape and make the boots fattier I have to take more or less vertical position so the air can move to the valve -then purge it and take the horizontal position and repeat the same as soon as i feel the need to purge air.
What is your sequence of actions and may be tips and tricks you have found during learning.
Thanks a lot in advance
