Cheddar Posted Tuesday at 04:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:41 PM this thing is floating up over my head while im diving. assume its the air pocket within the handle. anyone have this issue and dealt with it? there are many ways to add weight to it i suppose to keep it from floating. im thinking of adding some weight to the hollow handle and sealing it off.

I think you've got to be careful what you wish for - I'd be much happier for mine to float to the surface if I lost control of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ Jeepguy Posted Tuesday at 08:26 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:26 PM I don’t own the dive shaft, but I’d be more inclined to allow water to displace any air in the shaft rather than add weight (if air is the buoyancy issue). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Slick Posted yesterday at 12:42 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:42 AM Just drill a small 1/8" hole in the top of the rod near the controller clip to let the air escape.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just tip the thing sideways for a moment or two (the shaft and handgrip are open at the bottom)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
