I've just purchased my first drysuit used from a scubaboard member (OS systems Nautilas) and had a few questions you experienced drysuiters can answer for me:
1. The suit fits great other than the fact that the legs are too long and bunch up a little, is this going to be a problem?
2. I would like to get trained to use the suit but I'm not sure I want to go the PADI route to use the suit as bouancy control. I've also just got my DIR fundamentals book and DVD and this is a no-no according to them and I'm going to be switching to BP, harness wings and doubles this next spring for diving in Lake Erie and taking the DIR fundamentals class(hopefully next spring). What is your best suggestion?
3. I probably get someone from the local scuba club to show me and do dives with me if I begged one of them.
4. What type of undergarment should I use (I'm a very warm person and do not get cold easily) for diving in warm 60-70 degree water and colder 45-60 degree water?
Your help on these issues is greatlly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
