Well, it does sound like you're too heavy, a weight check in 2metres somewhere with a near empty tank sounds a good idea, I know 10m doesn't sound deep but I think it is for the first time in a drysuit. It can be difficult getting the no-squeeze/BCD buoyancy right, I would say its something like 10%/90% if you see what I mean. Good old fashioned fin retainers are great for keeping the air out of your boots. You should be looking at AT LEAST 10 dives in it before you feel comfortable, I would say. Someone will be along any minute to tell you I am talking nonsense.
