I have just bought an older style (non-crushed neoprene) SAS (Sub Aquatic Suits) drysuit off ebay. It came with one inflater valve on the chest with a hose dangling with a mouth piece on the end which I assume is for blowing air into the suit. This valve also has a screw on the end that releases air when open. This suit does not have a dump or exhaust valve located on the arm like all the rest of the drysuits made these days. My question is: Should I buy a dump valve and install it on one of the arms or will my chest inflate/dump valve dump work fine? And if so, why didn't the factory originally include a dump valve on this suit when it was manufactured?
Any response will be appreciated.
