    Hi
    I saw that you mentioned creative ways to trap air. I recently bought a hera bcd and I am having to put it on once in the water as we are shore diving and cant carry my tank due to a knee operation I find that while diving I feel too light when I come back to about 20ft I hear bubbles escaping not from my release valves but somewhere else. When I had 10 lbs of weight I felt like I was being tipped on my head while diving at 30 feet or more. I have never had this problem and I always return with my tank at 1400psi. I am very confused as to what I am doing wrong
    If you can shed some light I would love it. I went to 11lbs and the tipping seams to have stopped. This happens when my bcd has no air in it
