It was much much better than the first one. I did 2 quarry dives in 60 ft water. I was able to get my buoyancy right this time and swimming around was not a problem. I was able to manage most of the buoyancy with only the wetsuit. BCD was only a surface flotation device for me. This is what is going on in my mind now:
1. Other than a surface flotation device, why do we need a BCD in drysuit diving? If it is only a surface floater, should BCDs for drysuits be selected for better surface flotation characteristics (jacket BCs) instead of better vertical positioning (BP wing)?
2. Whites Fusion did not go well with me. I dont like the idea of being squeezed by elastic. Simple drysuits with One basic shell on which no layer is crawling on top of another layer, would be easier to get in and out of. Would it create siginificantly more drag while swimming?
3. Do occasional drysuit divers prefer to rent drysuits or do you guys prefer to own them?
Thanks so much for all those who offered help in last post.
