hello guys,

i have been diving for a long time now, and since i was on open circuit, i used to need more kg as weight, than the rest of the divers i used to dive with. people used to say, its my structure, others used to say, its a matter of lung volume, fat, etc....

i was under the thought that once diving with a ccr, then the weights would decrease drastically.... but it does not. i still need a lot of weights in order to go down.

i am 92kg, 189cm tall, and fit. i am giving these info out for someone to make the correct assumptions. dont get me wrong people, i am saying this because its a big problem, and it has become a big issue in my mind.

i take 10kg, and still when i empty my dry suit, wing, and lungs of my ccr, and still not going down, utill i push hard. as a result, i am having a hard time in ascending. if i am in depth, things are better, but i was wondering.

did anyone else have the same problems/symptoms?

please let me know what do you think, and why does this occur?

Thanks,

Spyros
