Quick technical question on dry suits. I have only dived in wetsuits. I have a task soon which will require me to be positioned very shallow - say 3 feet to 12 feet down. North Puget Sound/Salish Sea => water in the 50s. I need to be fairly stable to make the observations needed and possibly minor technical adjustments on equipment. A secondary issue is the possibility of having to surface swim from one station to another, nothing big, longest distance say 1000ft. I have a beautiful cold water suit but not only do I look like the Michellin Tire Man, there is little chance of holding a shallow position.
Questions:
1) can a dry suit solve the shallow depth position issue?
2) snorkling shallow/surface in a wetsuit is a streamlined pleasure. I look at guys in drysuits and it seems like a failed drag-chute experiment. Is it as bad as that to snorkel in?
