Diving Dry

[DetectorGuy]

From what I understand, there are 4 situations that can cause a drysuit to be wet inside (there could be others I haven't learned yet).

1.  A hole somewhere in the suit
2.  A wetsuit dripping into a drysuit
3.  Not being able to "hold it" until you get to the surface.
4.  The water around the neck from an attached drysuit hood running into the drysuit.

If I missed anything or if anyone has any comments feel free to add to the list.

I get a bit wet at both wrists just about every dive. I think its because of the "tunnel" between the two tendons on the palm side of my wrists when I grab things underwater. I try to pull the wrist seals up toward the forearm to minimize this but it hasn't helped much. Another way to get wet inside a dry suit is from sweat. I use Weezlewear Extreme undergarments and they draw the sweat away from the body and the outside of the Weezlewear is almost always wet after a dive. I use wet gloves and wet hood with my dry suit all the way down to -20 degrees (then I don't dive if its colder that). I have had my wet hood freeze while tending so that it won't come unless I dump hot water over it.
