Re: Any comment's?

Have you tried to adjust the weight on your belt and the way you dive down first? With a evective duck dive you should start kicking only at about 2 to 2.5m some even say 3m or more. Also dive straight down to where you want to be, dont work with an angle, choose a spot and hover over it, duck down tuck your chin and fall, only when you get to the bottom do you start hunting.
The bombing technique sounds like it could be a bit dangerous to you in itself. Id say you need to work on your depth abilities a bit more before giving up on the conventional weightbelt methods. Remember with bombing you can take yourself much farther than you realise at a faster rate so it will be easier to overstay or overshoot your depth. Maybe start a bit shallower at say 10m and work your way down from there.
A diving buddy of mine has a very nice quote that he likes to use...
"We can all get to 60m, but can we all get back?"
