Hi. I have an Agir 38 wing. When I exit the water the wing has a lot of water in it. Is this common?

I guess its because of my poor gasdumping skills =) What is the best practice here? I use the inflatorhose for dumping only when going down, once down I try to use the dumpvalve only.
The amount in your wing will be proportional to the amount you adjust your buoyancy - i) due to changes during the dive or ii) inexperience.

Don't worry too much about it - either i) the dive warrants it - or ii) as your experience increases, your buoyancy will be better and less water will be present.

As experience increases you will probably start using the rear dumpvalve more and more - and the hose dump less.

Have fun.
