Hi,

air in your suit ???

I don't know.  I am definitely not overweighted, at the end of a dive I have to
drain everything to stay at 3m.
It must be the change in buoyancy of the neoprene drysuit I use.  Do you use
a membrane one?

Sounds like it is the change in weight as you dump the gas out of your
cylinders.  Double 95s hold about 7.5 Kg of air.  At the begining of the dive
you would have to have 7 odd litres of air to offset the load of gas in the
cylinders.
cheers Jason :)
