Rich, the pressure of air will be uniform around you while water depends on
what part of the body is at what depth, and the drysuit will act differently in
different spots in water but not in air. The body will not react to the feeling
of water and will therefor not try to shunt the blood away form the extremities
(we overcome that in water by swimming and being in top shape). The pressure at
you lips is the same as at your lungs, and is easier to ventilate properly,
etc, etc, etc. Do you want more. As usual, I do it repeatedly , excessively ,
ectremely and consistently with excellent results. I know what I am doing, Rich
, and would not tell you something that I had not hammered out with my own ass
on the line first. My boys do it after I do, and I would not let them take any
chances that I had not already proven.
