jcclink:How many of us actually use their drysuit as a BC during a dive?
Remember - once you put air into the suit it becomes a BC, like it or not.
jcclink:You're right about the sentences I guess. All fixed. So the minimum air required to avoid suit sqeeze is ok. A little more air just keeps you warmer. It doesn't have to be alot. How is your trim at 15 feet depth with no air in suit, no air in BC & 500 psi in tank?
jcclink:I figure this should start a lively discussion. How many of us actually use their drysuit as a BC during a dive? BC use on the surface is ok.
I go against the grain. I wrap myself in a couple of 100lb wings and use them as a drysuit. I installed a snorkel as a p-valve, and since I dive in tropical waters most of the time, I don't even mind that I still get wet.jcclink:I figure this should start a lively discussion.
