1st real dry suit experience

Just remember those Coast Guard divers doing that ice dive practice died because they only used the dry suit for buoyancy control. They didn't hook up their BCs because they either didn't know they needed to or didn't have the correct regulator setup. They also overweighted (65# each...jeesh) so when they tried to flood the suits, the seals couldn't hold the air and down they went. If they would have had BCs that were usable they might be alive today. I think PADI needs to review what they teach. I neutralize with the BC (well, actually a BP/W) and then maintain on the suit.
