P-valve or not?

I'm currently diving a Bare Tri-lam.
Front zipper
Dump valve is on the left bicep.
Regular boots, but I sometimes wear plodding boots over them when diving commercial.
No P-valve yet, but it will be installed before our wreck season gets up and running this year. I've had some long, uncomfortable hangs without it.

I've had the suit for about 14 months now, and am very happy with it. Actually, it's the first time I went with a neoprene neck seal in any of my suits and I find it much more comfortable than the latex seal. I stayed with latex wrist seals though.

See you on the bottom,
Al.
