Whack yourself upside down as much as possible. Get your buoyancy right in relatively calm waters before progressin to the rougher stuff Use little pulses of air at a time Have you bought your suit yet?
No... funds are limited, and I'm after a decent Umbilical Torch before I splurge on a drysuit. But, figured it would be sensible to get the course sorted first, then I'm qualified to test a few different suits out before buying. Cheers for the tips!
The other advice is don't listen to any advice about what's the best drysuit. Think I tried every suit in the shop on. Went for the typhoon discovery. Well happy with it. Great fit from off the peg
I guess the best thing to do in that respect is to consider advice regarding what are considered to be the 'best features' for a drysuit, rather than the 'best drysuit'... then find the one that fits best, with the features you want?
