Just to say again, use the BC for buoyancy control, not the drysuit. More air in the drysuit will just cause problems in the end.

For all DIR diving, the setup would be: Right Post: primary long hose, BC inflation. Left Post: SPG, secondary reg on necklace, and optionally a drysuit hose. I hope this clears up a few things,

Thanks Alex,

Thats the way that I'm actually diving at the moment but in the past I've had some stick from both BSAC and SAA instructors/divers to keep the wing empty and dive with normal bouyancy adjustments with the dry suit. I'll continue to do it right (without the capital letters) and preach the gospel.
My gear/config is not yet 100% compliant but money and fitness/exercise willing we're getting there.
