That could be the case. It would depend on the depth. You're going to have great buoyancy changes at shallow depths. If you were anywhere deeper than 30', I'd say you were just being bouncy. If you were shallower than 30', it could be the wetsuits. It shouldn't even matter that it's 2 wetsuits, it's probably not being used to that combo.
