Lightbulb Daft But Annoying Dolphin Prob

Does anyone else using a dolphin have problems with it lifting of thier back ???

The only way i have been able to rectify it was by wearing a padded weight pouch under the harness to be able to get a tight fit, although you can't dump the weight easily, could only do it by becoming verticle, undoing the harness and allowing it to float back and its not the most comfortable thing in the world.

Ive only had about 10 hours on the unit itself, and they have been in warm water, so as a complete and utter newbie i would really appreciate some advice.

are you using the origanal wing and harness??

if so, use the intergrated wieght rather than a harness or better still get a back plait converter so you can use any standard back plait and wing which makes the dolphin much nicer to use and you dont have the lunges pushing in to your back. hope this helps
kind regards john routley

Dead right, back plate and wing is the best idea.
In the mean time transfer 5lb of lead off your belt and onto the shell using soft shot bags.
This should ease it somewhat.

All the best
