I understand trim and positioning, bringing your feet up as far as you can etc., the tank was as high on my body as was practical and the only weight I carried was directly under the tank.

If I added any more weight I would have been overweighted.

So...I concluded my jetfins were a bit too heavy, and I think I'll experiment with my old floatier fins.

Has anyone else found this, or am I missing something obvious?

Could you try an ali plate then cam band the other 2kg higher to the neck of the cylinder? Works for me that way other wise I'd have the same issue as you.
