Hi all, Ive been reading this board for a while but this is my 1st post. I have some questions regarding Buoyancy and weight. My Wife and I just finished out Open Water class and this past weekend we went on our 1st solo dive, and we both had some problems getting down and I hoping I can get some help here.
In our OW class we were diving and we had no problems descending but we made some changes to our gear. We both were using the Aqua Lung Wave BC during class and have recently upgraded to the Aqua Lung Malibu RDS (cause it was on sale). Is this a more Buoyant BC? Also during class I was using an 80 cubic AL tank but last weekend I used a 63 or 68 cubic AL tank (cant remember what the actual size was). Would this make a difference?
Thanks in advance for the help.
PS if you want to see pics from our dives check them out here
