Yep, recreational dive instructors will tell you to use the DS for buoyancy. Tech instructors will cringe every time they hear that.

They class is fairly easy and straight forward. Getting use to the drysuit just takes a few dives. When your using the ds for buoyancy there will be an air bubble in there rolling around every time you move. Kind of like diving with some random trim changes every time you make any angle shifts.

For some the drysuit takes some getting used to. I had a real love hate relationship with mine for about 20 dives. Then I went back to using the BC for buoyancy and now the drysuit is a joy.
