Drysuit Training

[mcdiver]

I wouldn't get all wrapped-up in the fact that the classis is not a certification class. A good time to learn to use a drysuit is in the fall, when the weather is starting to cool off, it will take awhile to learn how to put the suit on with all the undergarments. In the summer, by the time you are fully dressed, you are sweating your buns off.

Be careful on putting too much weight on, you don't want to create so much drag in the water that you are constantly kicking. We all know that the guidelines seem to be way-off (to much weight) and if you start out severly overweighted, you are going to have to pump the BC up just to keep you off the bottom, or else inflate that drysuit which also creates drag.
