Drysuit/BC for bouyancy compensation

Re: Drysuit/BC for bouyancy compensation
Dan G's point may change my mind a bit. I only use the suit under and only use the wing on the surface. I guess that's just how I figured it all out. I leave the dump open and just stay horizontal. If I get too light I can dump from the wing and the arm very fast or twist and dump the suit.

I've been asking around on this and I think the big difference is steel tanks. They make you so negative that you get a bubble in your suit . I mostly dive AL80 and my weight is so close that I don't need more then a few squirts in the suit so there is nothing to put in the wing.  I've been overweight by 2 or 3 pounds and that forces me to use the wing or suffer with a bubble in my suit.  If I used Steel, I'd have to use the wing as primary control.
Ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you.
