Totally embarrassing. This was my 35th dive overall, 9th during this trip in Roatan. All was going well, felt like I was finally getting comfortable and gaining some confidence. (We only dive on vacation, usually once a year.)
I was at 60 feet, following our dive master. Around 30 minutes ascended to 35 feet. All of a sudden I realized I was starting to float. I used a lot of energy, and air, trying to stay down. Eventually I just surfaced and couldn't descend again. No air in my BCD. I've plenty of weight 16lbs....probably too much (I weigh 150.) I believe I breathe pretty well. I exhaled all I could. My shorty is loose (I've lost weight.)
What happened? What did I do wrong? I have one more day to dive and am feeling like a loser.
