I am looking at getting a new BC and need a little help. I am 6' 4", weigh 330(wish it was all muscle but its not) I am not "fat" in the stomach area but pretty big. I currently have a Seaquest ProQD 2xl it fits good un-inflated but puts a real big squeeze on when loaded and the sides slide back, but I am dying on the bouyancy. I have done a few dives in Lake Rawlings VA, with a 5m shorty I have to wear 48lbs of weight, 10 in the back pockets and the rest in the dump bags, to make me sink.

I am in the pool at least three times a week to work on my bouyancy( I know, it is a lot different in the ocean or lakes). I also know practice makes perfect but i would like to one, wear less weight and two, reach neutral bouyancy finally!!!! I may get close to bouyant and move a thermal cline up or down and forget it it is all over. I have a few dives in Ginnie Springs FL coming up and then it is open water season here. I would like to find a new BC that can fit better inflated and/or maybe get some advice on how to approach the bouyancy thing.

One last thing I float like a log. I really don't need to hold my breath to float.

Battle with Bouyancy is on and I am in last place!
