When diving with a dry suit, buoyancy control is achieved using both the BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) and the dry suit.
The dry suit is primarily used to prevent suit squeeze and maintain comfort by adding small amounts of air as you descend.
The BCD is used to fine-tune overall buoyancy throughout the dive.
Add or release air gradually and in small amounts to maintain neutral buoyancy.
The automatic exhaust valve releases air when internal pressure exceeds the preset level.
By adjusting the valve setting, you can help maintain consistent suit volume during changes in depth.
Maintain a proper horizontal trim position underwater.
If you remain upright, air may shift into the legs of the suit, making buoyancy control more difficult.
