mike, as you know i'm very new to drysuit diving,
but after talking to other drysuit divers--and you
can confirm this if you'd like--it seems that one
is supposed to wear more wt than one would normally
wear in a wetsuit precisely for the reason of
the buoyant undergarments and to provide the loft
that is needed to keep warm in a drysuit.
so, if i wore 17#'s in my 2piece wetsuit before,
that 17#'s is not good enough now for my drysuit,
and it seems to me that i may need to wear upwards
of 20#'s (on top of using a metal b.p. and a steel
tank).
...what say ye about this...?...
