I just been in the pool a couple of times with my new equipment and I'm looking for suggestions as to problems with my trim and my ability to reach the valves.
My new equipment is double Faber Lp 95's and a 60 lb Haylcon wing. I had most of my equipment (dry suit, undergarments) on, to try and find my weight requirements and trim.
The first pool session took 4 lbs to sink me and I was feet light. The second session I moved the tanks down as far as i could on the bands, wore a canister light and a 6 lb argon bottle and didn't need any weight to sink me but my feet were still light. I tried a pair of 2 lb ankle weights and everything was much better. My preference is not to use ankle weights.
Dropping my tanks lower on the bands also had me not being able to reach the valves. I'm working on my flexibility!
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!!
