THis is a feet heavy trim issue…I think. So I’ve got myself down to 0 weight needed for buoyancy with my neutral 80s, 3mm full suit, no gloves or hood, 3mm boots, fins RK3’s that are positively buoyant. I’ve done plenty of weight checks with near empty tanks at the surface and at depth to feel confident that I need 0 weight to achieve neutral buoyancy. HOWEVER, I continue to feel “feet heavy”, making me want to get more weight at the top of my spine just to get my feet up. I have grabbed some small rocks and held them in hands in front of me and it feels suddenly “right” but that is not a normal thing to do. I have 4 spine pockets in my Katana2. I have recently added 3lbs to my top pocket and STILL feel “feet heavy” when in horizontal position. In other words, as I’m traveling in horizontal position and when stop to hover my feet sink, despite my natural arms forward position. Because of this feet heavy thing I find myself gently finning to keep horizontal. Any advice?
