Drysuit/BC for bouyancy compensation

[Kirk]

I always use the BCD for buoyancy, not the dry suit.  My feeling is that the dry suit is designed to keep one warm, while the BCD is designed to provide the support and lift for the tank or tanks.  I usually dive with just enough gas in my suit to make sure I don’t get bruises, for I hate floaty feet.  The exception is when I’ve got deco obligation, then to stay warmer I may pump a bunch of extra gas in the suit while hanging out at 20 feet breathing pure O2. -  Kirk
