I've recently bought my first drysuit. All good except that the wrist seals leak quite a bit. I bought the suit secondhand, but the seals were replaced, so I'm fairly sure there's nothing wrong with the seals. They seem to be the right size: tight, a bit uncomfortably so topside, but they feel fine once I'm in the water. More than a tiny bit tighter and I think they'd cut off blood flow to my hands.
TSandM suggested in this thread that dry gloves would be the solution: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/south-african-divers/469493-why-i-need-drysuit-3.html#post7095682 (she was correct that the undergarment was not the problem -- I though it might be sitting too far up my wrist, interfering with the seal, but I ruled that out on a dive yesterday by rolling the sleeve up).
My question: how easy it to use a camera with dry gloves? It'll be a little while before I take my camera with in my drysuit (still getting my buoyancy control to where it should be), but ultimately I'd like to. Are there some kinds of gloves that are better suited to using things like cameras? All the dry gloves I've seen look pretty bulky and unwieldy.
