No mention of membrane suit in my thread, personally I prefer a crushed neoprene suit. But yes certain thinsulates, compress badly at depth (one madein yorkshire especially), if you are adding air all the time to your suit it makes it a pain to try & combat the compression on these undersuits, you might as well try to useyour suit for bouancy, most undersuits are great, but some of these hightech ones need more weight to get you under then compress at depth. Using your suit for bouancy is fine on small twin sets, but not good with a set of 15's, you end up like the michelin man, so if you keep adding air to stop these undersuits compressing you end up the same, far better to get a good old fashioned undersuit, DUI or something of that ilk. and just keep the squeeze of the bits that matter with the suit, and use your wing for the job it was made for, it also gives you a more stable position in the water, rather than the air rush to your feet etc. when you invert.
Most undersuits appear normal till you hit about 40-45msw, then bamm your bouancy goes to rat***t, change the undersuit and its back to normal next dive...  |
