I had a SAC of 24 during my last quarry dive and I think my SAC increases by 6 when I wear a drysuit.
I was overweighted as I was trying to see if I could dive with more air in my suit so that might have contributed to this high SAC.
I also noticed that as I inflated my suit air was coming out from the valve. Obviously I will use less weight next time as it may due to me having too much air in my suit: I was experimenting with putting a bit more air in my suit.
But I was wondering if you dive the valve fully open are you gonna leak air regularly and how can you check for smaller air leaks ?
I thought about getting a mirror so I could check my back. I often get insta buddies with people who like to stay in my back so that would help with this.
Do any of you use a mirror on the hand to check on air leaks or on some of your buddies who refuse to stay at your side ?
