I want to get my wetsuit certification next and then my drysuit certification![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I just did my first drysuit dive on new years eve. To prepare, I watched the PADI drysuit DVD (from IVS dive shop library) and read a few articles about inverted drysuit recovery. During the dive I dove down vertically and felt air go to my feet but was able to recover easily. I think the inversion problems people have are due to vastly oversized suits, especially the feet. If you attached airbags to my feet I would not be able right myself either. I bought a Whites Fusion because of the stretch skin which limits the bubble in the suit. Wetsuit booties with ankle straps limited the bubble in my feet. It was a great dive at Dutch Springs at 58 ffw and 41F. I was NOT cold with the medium weight MK2 undergarment.
