Its time to bust some myths related to Dry Suits and give you a great understanding of what they are.
The dry suit itself will not actually keep you warm, warmth is gained by what you wear underneath your dry suit. Typically people wear fleece or other garments to keep themselves warm.
Technically it is possible but quite unlikely, with proper training on the correct use of a wetsuit this should not happen.
Air will raise to the highest point in the confined space inside the dry suit, but with the correct training divers are taught on controlling this. There are also products to assist in this such as gaiters.
Dry suits are no different to wearing a full wetsuit and with practice this will be simple, learn from others on the simple methods and tips.
Neoprene seals are durable, they are much hard to get in and out of. When diving at depth neoprene compresses and will not provide as good thermal insulation as other materials. Using a high quality latex seal is the preferred material for most divers who use dry suits, as they are more comfortable and if looked after right will last for years.
This is not correct, if your trained from day one using a dry suit will come naturally and you will have no issue. Dry suits are used by a wide range of divers from professional to beginners and are used based on environment rather than skill level.
This is not true as by using Archimedes's Principle, when the dry suit takes on water you will only loose a small amount of your total volume, your body/tank/etc will still displace plenty of water, meaning you'll be close to neutrally buoyant.
There is really no such thing as a semi dry suit, you are either in a wetsuit or a dry suit. A dry suit is meant to keep you totally dry, only if its poor fitting will water enter.
The drag caused by a well fitted, modern wetsuit is almost negligible against the drag cause by all the rest of the diving gear being worn. The amount of weight will depend on the specific thermal requirements needed (i.e. how the undergarments etc).
A dry suit is for thermal protection, you can adjust its amount of thermal protection based on what undergarments you wear. So therefore it can be worn in a range on water temperatures.
