Thats good. My position is skewed to the safety side of the equations.

When i first tried my dry suit i hd the perverbial problems. I didnt have anyone to teach me teh skills. I got mine finally at a DUI rally. There i learned the hard way about whether to use the suit for buoyancy of hte bcd or bp/w. Either way your history has students in pool for learning and limited depth usage till they obtain profieciency. A world apart from taking the thing out of the box putting it on and junping in for a dive.
No. My position is that he may - but will not necessarily - be one of the statistics.

Our divers are about 50% dry suit from day 1, but this of course means that they are only certied to 18-20m for at leads their first 25 dives. We do try to start them with a pool session, then least 4-5 dives at 5-12m.
Generally folks don't have much trouble, actually the only problem case I can recall was a guy with a faulty weight pocket he kept dropping.
