Which is NOT a factor in effective dry suit buoyancy control?

Effective buoyancy control in a dry suit is primarily influenced by factors that directly affect how a diver interacts with the water and manages their buoyancy. Temperature acclimation, while important for comfort and safety during a dive, does not directly influence how buoyancy is controlled.

Buoyancy control relies significantly on movement technique, which dictates how a diver uses their body and fins to manage their position in the water. Complementing this, air distribution within the suit plays a crucial role; the way air is moved or adjusted in different parts of the dry suit can directly influence buoyancy. Weight type, including how ballast is added or distributed, also impacts overall buoyancy and stability underwater.

In contrast, temperature acclimation relates to a diver's ability to adapt to water temperatures and does not influence the mechanisms of buoyancy control. Therefore, understanding effective buoyancy management focuses on movement techniques, air distribution, and appropriate weighting rather than how acclimated the diver is to current temperatures.
