I just did some googling about how to set the neutral buoyancy but have some doubts want to clarify.
If I want to set the neutral buoyancy at 10 meters depth, then to precisely measure it, the steps would be:
(0. dive with qualified divers for your safety)
1. prepare yourself with the wetsuit and the approximate weight
2. dive to 10m depth and stop(with the help of diving line/dive computer)
3. stay upright w/o touching the rope
4. exhale completely
5. and then check whether you float, sink or remain still.
6. Back to surface and adjust the weight if you were floating up or sinking down at the 10 m depth, and then try the steps mentioned above again.
A freediving friend of mine once told me that the step 4 is considered important to measure a strict neutral buoyancy.
but this statement sounds weird.
can anyone clarify this?
