I am finally getting my bouyancy and trim down while in prone, inverted and vertical positions... But the one that seems to elude me is the ability to maintain my bouyancy while supine. There are a number of times when it would be quite nice to lay on my back in the water column, primarily on ascents. What I find is that as soon as I roll over onto my back I start ascending, not rapidly but steadily - I usually roll back over and regain control after ascending about 10ft... I also notice that my breathing pattern changes, partly due to the way my reg breathes when it's upside down. I assume the two are related, perhaps I am not exhaling as much as when face down?
So any tricks or ideas others have used to master this aspect of bouyancy/trim?
I feel like when I first started target shooting, I'd flinch just before a shot... so I started loading 5 dummy cartriges with 1 live round thrown randomly into the mix... never knew when the live round would show up, It let me see when I was flinching and eliminate that bad habit... Anything like that I might try with this issue?
Thanks, Tim
