Hi all, I'm a newbie and ahve been taught that when the BC is adjusted correctly, you should be able to insert the wide part of a closed fist under the cumberbund. That makes the BC just kinda float around me. Is that the way most divers wear them?
Proper adjustment of BC?

When I had a BC with a cumberbund, I always closed it about as tightly as I could. Any looser and it floats around, especially when you get to depth and your suit compresses.

I was taught that the cumberbund was to fit snugly and that the buckle that connects over it should fit loosely as you described. In this way you get a comfortable supportive fit.
Try this method and see if it helps.
