Question Neoprene drysuit question.

I was wondering if anyone could throw some light on this subject.

I've heard in certain circles that if you put an "Auto" dump on a compressed neoprene suit it doesn't vent properly and can cause a rapid ascent. The reason given is that the suit expands and takes the pressure of the the spring in the auto dump, and therefore you have to have a "Cuff" dump fitted

I hope this is not true, as I've sourced a really great compressed neo' suit at a reasonable price.

I've noticed that all the DUI "crushed" neo's have auto dumps but i'm talking about compressed. Anyone?

I know it would be easier to just buy a Dui but I don't have Dui money, and I would like to get back in the water sometime this year.

Cheers in advance.

Steve.
