My buddy has just started diving in a brand new Otter DS, complete with undersuit. After several dives, we are noticing that the surface of his undersuit is really quite wet, however without penetration internally other than along the zip.
Now, my under-gear consists of a lot of pertex and thinsulate etc, and I'm noticing that most of the pertex is looking damp as well, especially on the fronts of my legs.
The first question is this; how much of the moisture is likely to be condensation, and should we be looking for leaks only when the boots start filling up?
The second question is this; how on Earth do you test a DS for leaks? Am I going to have to bung up the neck/wrists with footballs, or is there an easier way!
