Watch the height of the BCD, it you pull up the shoulder straps high it will pull the weights up also it your using a weight integrated. Making sure your evenly weighted and not being to top heavy will help with floating feet.

Great excuse. Hopefully this happens next time I dive for work and let my employer foot the bill.

A working credit card! Obviously, that's where I am going wrong! Can I borrow yours? I'll let you have it back! Honest, guv.

Going back to the original posting, I have looked at some of the blurbs on BCDs offering trim weights. They advertise it as a means of adding extra weight for the transition from diving in fresh water to sea water. It means that you do not have to readjust your weight belt/systems. Clever, eh!

Agree with all of the postings, good trim comes with adjusting and readjusting the scuba unit so that it enables you to orient yourself in the water with little or no effort. I'm still trying for gold some thirty years later! Oh well, the experience is what counts and it's fun getting there.
