Jim, thanks for this post.  Those of us who are waiting for the right 
occasion ($$) to buy a DUI suit can really benefit from knowing what 
to expect going into it.  I'll be sure to order my suit so that I 
have plenty of diving scheduled when it arrives.  Also, it's good to 
know they won't take back the undergarment if it has been worn (I 
assume they mean in the water).  I'm diving compressed neoprene right 
now, and the undergarment made it so I couldn't reach the valves. 
Also, moving my legs around was very hard, making diving more of a 
workout than it should be.  I'm now diving with skiing underwear 
(polarfleece) until I can figure out what to do.  At least I can 
move!  Obviously I'm not going to do anything that requires a lot of 
deco, because if I flood the suit I'm screwed with polarfleece.

Cheers.
