Re: So it really is kinda like OC's progression.....

good observations, and they are indeed accurate. you might note that on most military rigs, there are no BC's...loop volume is relied on for achieving the desired buoyancy. It's not meant to be fiddled with like a newbie OC diver, but if weighted properly, and the counterlung is slightly larger than your minimum loop volume, it can be dived slightly fuller on the bottom and buoyancy should be dead on...makes diving ccr even MORE attractive whe taking advantage of these buoyancy characteristics!
