Well, I am drysuit certified! We did 2 open water dives, one at a wreck, and another at shallow area near the wreck. I felt pretty good with the buoyancy, but I got behind on the curve a fair amount, because when I stopped to let air out of the DS, I started going up. Nothing I could not correct though, and I did not go to the surface uncontrollably. One thing I noticed though.. When I stop and get my feet down, it takes a few seconds for the bubble to go from my feet to my shoulder, and out the vent. What's the best position to get into to allow the air to work it's way up and out? I felt like it was wrong to be vertical, and I was struggling a bit to find a position to vent.. Should I maybe be face down at a 45 degree angle or something?
We could not stop the boot leak. My leg was wet (and COLD) by the time we were done. Not sure what to do about that... Loved diving dry though!
