Should dump seems to dump far more slowly than my cuff dump and to do anything at all involves rolling feet down, left shoulder high and bending my elbow up to shoulder to squeeze. I dive with valve fully open

Im struggling to believe shoulder dumps are THAT slow and ineffective when compared to a cuff dump so it could be my undersuit (weezle extreme) or technique.
If i cant sort it soon a cuff dump is going to be fitted.

(FWIW i had identical issue on my older ND drysuit which i fixed by fitting a cuff dump).

find out *why* the dump is not dumping properly - rather than compound the problem by adding something else (on the cuff).

what undersuit are you using?
