Re: Question on bouyancy and mucus

I'm about half inhale. I'm taking FRC slowly and just not breathing in as much as I normally would as the start up phase of FRC. On full inhale I am positively bouyant at 25 feet. As I saw tonight it really matters as to how much I breathe in before diving as to how quickly I reach neutral bouyancy. That last dive was the quickest I've seen neutral so far, by a long shot. I was a bit surprised to see myself dropping beside the dive line even though I was barely below the surface.

I think the fact of being negatively bouyant and seeing myself dropping, thanks to the dive line, is what is causing me to mentally react and bail out of the dive so quickly when their is no other reason for me to bail. I can't wait until my mind gets use to the idea of being negatively bouyant.
