I find that once I get center of gravity and center of buoyancy reasonably close, then I can indeed take ANY attitude, including weird combinations of pitch and roll and stay in one spot while motionless.GDCB:How about when taking a picture or doing a specific task. I think any position should be maintainable.
Adobo:Scotty,
It might be better to assess your trim when you are not moving. In other words, float at mid water and see if you can keep that horizontal trim without moving your arms or finning.

Scotty g:Hi Adobo,
Yes i have tried floating mid water without finning and my horizontal trim goes to pot and ends up with my feet eventually coming forward and results in me flapping my arms trying to gain a horizontal 'belly down' trim again.

Actually the first sentence states that he was told to descend to the 22 m platform. It didn't say he was told to stand, sit, kneel or hover. In fact, the OP never says why they were standing.bperrybap:The very first sentence of the original posts states why

Scotty g:Doing my AOW recently i was asked to descend to the 22m platform. Once i got there, i 'stood' on there (not kneeling) and felt as if i was being blown backwards with a light breeze (it was a quarry dive).
Jason B:What on earth are going to be doing that requires you to satand up while underwater?
TheFoggyMask:In my professional opinion, your trim sucks. Try to be better in the future.
