Adventure dives - next up dry suit

I'm somewhat relieved to discover that I'm not the only learner diver to struggle with buoyancy, as my brother – who is training for his Divemaster and headed to Stoney Cove this weekend with a group of open water students – is finding that their current crop, by all accounts, have not quite mastered the art of BCD control!

This has been weighing on my mind since being seduced into taking the advanced open water course, with the prospect of taking the dry suit course in order to do it without freezing to death! I've been reading the section on dry suits in preparation for next week's knowledge review and am somewhat amused to find that I might have to screw myself into a ball, while launching into a backwards roll (or was it forwards?)... either way I'd pay good money to be able to see myself do that little trick! :-)

Alternatively, I might have a suit malfunction and blow up like Mr Staypuft while hurtling to the surface, or my boots might fill with air forcing me into an upside down position........................ Yea gads, what on earth have I signed up for?
