I JUST started dry suit diving with a total of 2 dives in my dry suit class and two dives yesterday. I have a set of dry gloves and I insert little hoses across the silicon wrist seals so air can pass between my suit and my gloves.
However, when I'm in proper trim with my hands slightly in front of me, but below my body, that makes them the lowest part of my body and the minor squeeze on them eventually bothers me. If I reach up high with my hands for a moment, it relieves the pressure and feels more comfortable , but I find myself having to do that once every several minutes.
Is this normal, suck it up and be lucky my hands aren't wet & cold? Is it a sign that I'm not inflating my suit enough? My gloves to tight? Something else?
