One thing that throws that off, though, is what kind of exposure protection you're wearing. I improved buoyancy through diving (as well as PPB training), but last weekend I was in two full wetsuits, and found myself bouncing off the bottom like a basketball. I was mentioning this to my fellow divers, and they suggested it was because I was in two wetsuits.
If you're shorter, like me, you may also find that your tank is causing you grief. I used to wear mine in standard position, valves just around the BCD collar, but then it was actually Dive-aholic who suggested I move my tank up so my weight was better-distributed. Now I dive so the valves are at the back of my head, and I noticed a world of difference.
So maybe play with where your tank sits.
Although I did go to Cozumel and had to keep the boat crew away from my rig, as twice I caught someone covertly trying to move my BCD back up. So know that if you go diving in a "touristy" place you may have to contend with explaining your tank placement choice.
