I can blow some air out and get it under control again, but im not doing something right as usually start rising then, even if slowly.
Dive planes are at 0, hatch is closed (couldnt find the voice-pipe but no water coming in) - what am i doing wrong??

Are you sure you have blown all the water out of the negative tank so it reads zero ? or filled it accidentally by opening the vent above. If you try to blow out a little water from the main ballast tanks you will find it difficult to stop the boat from surfacing even just a tiny amount makes maintaining level depth very unstable
