That sounds painful.
When I was sizing catheters a few years back it was a very disheartening experience, for the sizes were:TheRedHead:
Large
Medium
Small
Infant/Geriatric
Sheeesh! Like looking forward to old age ain't bad enough already...

I use 18lb in a swimming pool, 26lb in a 7 mil. The undies I'm using are the polyester one piece ones you get custom made from the gal on ebay. The dry suit is a Bare xcd2 pro which is a 2mil compressed neoprene and the BC is a Ranger. Still not right??

I can get under just fine. I let the air out and down I go. I just can't put very much air in the suit once I'm down there and certainly not on the way up or else up I go. It's my buddy thats telling me my mask should be at the water line with the air out when I start and therefor I am overweighted. He's telling me that to get down I should invert and swim down.

My question was does the squeeze of the dry suit affect the operation of the valve.

It may make it more difficult to expel. The balance chamber is supposed to make it ambient, but if you have a lot of squeeze on the suit you may have some more pressure to work against. Most likely it is the cath that is the problem: Mentors are not adequate as far as I am concerned.HarryWhisman:
A very well kept secret (until now I guess!) Less than $1.25 a piece including shipping is the best you will find for Rochester Wide Bands. Order a box and sell some to your friends for $2.50 and you make money for another box or two!

that's where I get mine -- so now couple that with the allegro-medical and the "S&M" power I got my drysuit talc from and I get the oddest collection of adverts in my inbox
Another reason to stick with the proven Depends!
