No BC w/Dry Suit?

using your BC for buoyancy makes perfectly good sense, and doesn't necessarily promote uncontrolled ascents, especially since there isn't that much air in your suit to vent anyway.

correct.... except some suits are difficult to dump in a horizontal postition as are some BCs...

My Andy's with a forearm dump is superb as are my Halcyon wings.

My DUi CF200 has the dump valve in a terrible location but that is soon to be remedied.

Not that any of that has anything at all to do with your discovery...

Yes... using your left hand to raise the inflator and dump air from the BC will also dump air from the suit... cool huh?

A safety measure that you don't have to think about? I'll take it!

By the way, UP, can you retrofit a drysuit valve to another spot? Is that what you're referring to with your DUI suit? If that's true, I'd love to move mine from the upper arm to my forearm (like the 5th Dimension suits)
