Hello All -

I finally got to dive my 905 in real water! Yay!

It went really well. I had a bit too much air in the suit at the end of the second dive, but it was very manageable.

I was not using the suit for bouyancy control. Just enough air to take the squeeze off. I still managed to get a small slug of air in the suit that I just couldn't vent. If it had been bigger, I would have vented it out through the wrist seal. Of course, if it had been bigger, I would have vented it through the vent. Hmm.

Nice suit. I think I would like a self-donning zipper. Teaching someone else on the boat how to zip a drysuit zipper may become a pain.

I was nice and warm during the SI. No desperate shucking of the wetsuit! No teeth chattering or goosebumps.

Drysuits rock.

The zipper is really tight, and one of my shoulders has a lot of titanium in it.

Makes it a bit tough.

It would be worth trying.
