NYCkayaker Conn. Death, Dry Suits, Liability and Barriers

[Dennis Wiener]

Thanks for that link. It also states that he had no PFD. I'm familiar 
with diving dry suits, not kayaking ones, but would hate to be in one 
taking on water without any kind of flotation device. FWIW I managed to 
take on water in my new DUI on my first dive with it. Missed the last 
1/8" of the sealing zipper when I donned it. Luckily it was in the shops 
pool where I was getting instruction on the use of the suit.
