Which of the following is a key component of managing buoyancy in a dry suit?

Regularly adjusting suit inflation is crucial for managing buoyancy in a dry suit. A dry suit is designed to keep you dry and insulated in cold water, and it achieves buoyancy management through the air trapped in its bladder. By adding or releasing air from the suit as needed, divers can achieve neutral buoyancy, which is essential for safe and controlled underwater movement.

If a diver does not adjust the suit’s inflation, they may either sink rapidly or float uncontrollably, which can lead to safety hazards such as rapid ascents or descents. Therefore, understanding how and when to adjust the suit’s inflation is a vital skill for any diver wearing a dry suit.
