Once again, where are you guys getting instructed?  Spend thousands on 
doubles, a drysuit, regs, etc.  and then do not solicit an instructor?

Might I suggest reading the post from two weeks ago about where the hell are 
all of you being trained?

You should have went over the bouyancy characteristics of all the cylinders 
in your technical diver class - if you have not taken one - then why are you 
attempting to teach yourself diving????
