A drysuit is designed to ensure you remain dry whilst underwater. Personally I have had some experience with this but recently having had it repaired by Grant it is no longer refered to as a dampsuit but rather as the best piece of dive gear I have ever bought.
Anyway here is a handy hint for a drysuit that is wet inside after the first of a series of repetitive dives. After dive one, prior to dive two, find a sloped surface, and lie with your head facing down the slope. Allow the water to pool at your neck and cuff seals and then stick a finger in there to release the water. Simple.
Here is Peter Southwood doing just that at Miller’s Point… Maximum allowed drain time here is 20 minutes, according to the sign!
