Drysuit Testing and Training

Since we won’t be doing a lot of cold water diving, we both bought used drysuits which are “less than perfect.” Mine could use about 1 more inch of inseam (doh!) and Sarah’s has a charming pink and green color scheme :-) We did some experimentation to see how much weight we need, some drills in regulating buoyancy, and just messed around. Unfortunately, Sarah’s suit has a leaky zipper, so we’re going to have to get that fixed.
