Sometimes the old ways are best. 

If you were in a wetsuit and regular BCD you would have one inflation device.
If it failed you could drop your weight belt and get up.

If you dive a BOYANT  dry suit like a unisuit. you have one inflation device.
If the suit tears it is possible to inflat another area of the suit by
altering you body position. If that fails, you can drop yoiur weight belt.
Same Same like diving a wet suit. A BC with a dry suit is one extra piece of
gear to fuck up or fuck with. Un less you dive two BCs with a wet suity you
are really the same position as me. 

I belive that Diveshops started the BC with a drysuit crap to sell more BCs .
Because your wet suit usually does not fit over the drysuit. Instant sale of
BC with every drysuit. If you have a nonboyant suit with no weight belt, my
method would not be viable.

Diving skill comes from the diver to the gear. not from the gear into the
diver
