At the start of my training I was told only use the jacket on the surface.

Basically you should be using a single source for buoyancy control, therefore in a dry sit that's all you should be using, some people find ankle weights to be good to stop floaty feet, others use heavy fins like jet fins.

Later when you get technical there is a school of thought that says use the wing for buoyancy and just take the squeeze off with the suit, I believe this debate rages on depending on who you talk to and that's not dependant on agency.

For simplicity id suggest you use a single source and that be the suit.

Hope that helps

Davie.
