Getting back into the water, finally!

[ScubaDuba17]

Hello all!
I was hoping I could get some help from some of you out there. I'm currently 25 and have been diving since I'm 12. When I first starting diving it was hard to keep me and my dad out of the water and we became very confident in the water. I hate to say but a few years ago life got busy for the both of us and diving was the one to suffer. After being out of the water for years we finally got back in the quarry on Thursday. We did one dive, my first in a drysuit and we both felt like rookies all over again. After diving with a drysuit for the first time it felt very different then a wetsuit. It seemed like air constantly went to my feet but nothing to get to worried about. I think part of this was from putting weight in my bc pockets rather then adding it to my weight belt. I guess my question is what do you guys and gals do to help feel more in line while swimming if that makes sense. After that dive I do plan on taking a drysuit class as well. I hope to hear some good pointers.. Happy diving for all
