Kinda weird to go into the pool in sweats (and a drysuit), come out of the pool totally dry, and then walk home in the same sweats.
I think I got lucky. At least half the class had leakage problems, either due to bad seals, or other leaks. I had no leaks.
Also managed to not do a feet first ascent, although I need more work on my buoyancy.
Is it typical for the bottom half of the drysuit to be rather tight (not quite painful, but close), no matter how much air is put into the suit? (I kept putting air in the suit to try and counter the squeeze, then my chest/shoulder area would get puffy, and I'd have to dump air from the suit, which didn't do anything to help the squeeze in the legs)
