Well, if you need practice, then you better get out there and practice. You know, come to think of it, I need a lot of practice too. I better go practice as well!

Welcome to the board. Don't worry about the dry suit situation. It is the same as when you first started diving. It take time to get the hang of it. Before you know it, you will have that dry suit like pro.

PS - In what part of the suburbs do you live. I have family in Schaumburg, Elgin, Rockford, and Belvidere...... I would like to visit there again....

Murph,
I live in Mount Prospect and work in Evanston (can you say, commute from he**?)

You're exactly right about the drysuit--it's just like starting over from scratch. If anyone had told me that up front I might have been less eager to make the switch. And work schedules are keeping us out of the water more than we'd like just lately, so I'm not getting as much practice as I'd like. With apologies to Oscar Wilde, work is the curse of the diving classes!

Most of the time new drysuit divers have way too much gas in the suit -- especially if they took the padi class that instructs to use the suit for buoyancy. Way too much dynamic instability. Use use the bc for buoyancy control and gentle puffs to the suit for lofting the underwear and easing the squeeze and you'll be fine.
Some of us are at Haigh fairly often -- stop out for some practice.
