Pete, sorry I meant 2 lb positive, can you tell I have been on the road for 6 hr and diving for 6 hr.  ;-)

 Pete,
 I have Gamma about 2 lb negative I dump all the
 air in the ballast tanks, then start sinking.  As I am
 sinking, I just give a swirt of air, with some practice I am
 able to stop and hover.  It is way easier than I though it
 would be.

  Hank,
  How you stopping and hovering. Are you
 weighted to  neutral
  buoyancy?Are you
 riding the bubble? Doesn't Gamma use
 
 forward motion and a dive plain for depth control?

   Today I dove Gamma to
 95
  feet in
   Kimbasket
 Lake (bush Harbour)  the
  visibility was
   awful.
  
 
 Maybe 2 feet at best.  Big mystery though, when I dive
   to 95 feet, in a matter of 5 min the
 pressure
  inside drops
   by
 500 feet.  The pressure
  stays right on
 perfect until
   I go deeper. 
  My theory, the water is glacier fed, very
  
  cold at depth causing the
 temp inside the sub to drop,
   creating
 negative pressure.  Could that be
  it? 
   Vance, did that happen in the north
  sea?  
   On a positive note,
 I can stop in
  the water Colum at any
   depth and hover.  I
  can
 surface and stop at ten feet
   and
  hover.
   Hank
