We use drysuits for work (I'll be in one in about 2 hours).
We use these in place of waders, some swimming out to retrieve gear etc..
They are warmer than wetsuits and block the wind, and yes the have alot of bouancy...
wad out a ways, say waist high, squat down and crack open the neck seal. the water pressure will drive out the air and you wont be nearly as bouyant..
they downside... any tear, puncture or pin hole and you are no longer dry.
Geta quality suit with good cuffs.
We have Gill sailing drysuits.. decent quality, 4-5bills, but the rubber cuff start to wear after a while, even with care.
these see use 1x a week sometimes more, and have a lifespan of a few years, with heavy use they wouldnt last as long.
