Dry Suits were available to recreational divers several years before wet suits came on to the market. (circa mid 1950's). I doubt that the basic design has changed very much other than bells and whistles added to make life easier for the diver. The first dry suit I purchased in 1956 was a two piece with rubber skirts attached to top and bottom rolled up together and secured by a rubber cummerbund. There was no way to vent excess air other than extending your arm over your head and cracking the seal on that wrist. Oh how history repeats itself.When I asked my tailor made drysuit guy how I dump without a valve he told me to lift my hand
A bit annoying when you blow your glove half off
