TranspacXT/LP 95 w/Dive Rite regs. Poolside, standing up with everything buckled and in place, can look up and have no issue with 1st stage hitting back of head. Once in water, I notice BC does seem to ride higher up my torso when im in good trim and 1st stage prevents me from tilting head back fully. What steps would you guys take first?
 
Maybe your crotch strap needs to be adjusted?
Thx for the quick reply. How tight is tight in that aspect? I felt like I tightened it "snug", just shy of singing an octave higher
 
Just thought of something else. Do you have the shoulder straps snugged down good?
 
First move bc all the way up to the top of the tank. Second, loosen shoulder harness so bc sits lower. This will allow you to pull more waist harness bringing the kit down. Because the kit will be lower you'll tighten your crotch strap. Or ditch the crotch strap all together.
 
Show a picture of your gear set up. Lower the tank or use a DIN. Your first stage may need inverting.
