Good point about the comp/compass/bottom timer/etc., but probably only true if the seals fit properly to begin with, as noted above by Pub.

As to the idea of pulling the neck seal to dump air, is there a risk of getting a bunch of water into the suit which might drag you down to the depths as a consequence?



I see what you mean, but by definition, a runaway ascent would seem to represent a massive overinflation of the suit, wouldn't it?
No ....... not really .......... you only need to let it get a little bit too far in front of you and away you go. Particularly in the shallower depths where the pressure change is greatest and the expansion of the gas in your suit is greatest!
