BB, the drysuit, even after doing crunches, has air in it to give it bouyancy. I believe divers purge all the remaining air after they go underwater.
Another benefit of the suit is its MUCH warmer in than any wetsuit could be and you can always add/subtract clothes underneath. And your not freezing when your standing half out the water on a perch or walking back to the truck
Also, you'll find you get more use from it in the long run, since ya just wear regular clothes, its easy in/out or switch back to waders when hopping spots for a night.
I hate to think what I'd would have to do putting a wetsuit on or driving to the usual 3-4 spots a night I hit with a w/s on.
For me, just getting out farther onto rocks, bars and beaches, without really swimming, the d/s gets the nod.
Your welcome to give the drysuit a try, and I recommend it before you drop $ for a wetsuit

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus
