Weight distribution for pool disciplines

I should have also mentioned, that the production of CO2 is not exactly equal to the consumption of O2. It depends on the metabolic rate, and can be slightly different than 1/1. Further, the CO2 is transfered/stored in several forms - some gets back into lungs, some is bind to hemoglobin, some dissolved in blood and other liquids, and the most of it is stored in form of bicarbonate.

After trying the suit again in the pool, I realized that it's just too buoyant for me. I guess I have a twice-used Equip size 6 for sale. But on the bright side, I just ordered a Breathe

where did u order the breathe from?

Also, on the getting heavy thing, one of the true mysteries of freediving (ignore Trux's logical response, it is a MYSTERY). I get way to heavy at the end of a dive, to the point I push of the bottom once in a while. I seem to start to light too. As someone mentioned above, correct buoyancy is a true art, and DNF really shows up weak spots.

I didn't think it was available in the US yet, so I inquired about having a friend in Hong Kong pick it up for me. Simon at Orca told me that I could just order it from their website. Shipping to New York was $20.

As for my buoyancy, I realized that I'm fighting inexperience more than anything else. I think having too much neoprene is just compounding the issue for me.

For those working on bouyancy and streamlining, bring a buddy along and get them to watch you when you do the push off and glide exercise. Even if you feel level and your overall bouyancy is correct, you might be going at a weird angle and it's often tricky to feel that yourself. I have a floaty butt so I have this problem a lot! I need to move some weight out of my neck weight and onto my hips....
