Drysuit buoyancy

[ptyx]

If the air in the legs of the drysuit bothers you, IMO you can try to use gaitors, that is preference, but I just don't like ankle weights.

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating the use of ankle weights past the first couple dives - but if you have some lying around, they might help until you're comfortable managing the 'bubble' in the suite (aka not making it to big).

Well, pretty much every review both here and in print rave about the controlled dispersal of air in the Fusion. Apparently, air rushing to the feet isn't such a problem. That said, I've already seen how to do the somersault in that event and will try it once I get the suit on.

The guy that was going to train me on it has all but disappeared so I might just take the class anyway.
