What can excessive weight lead to while diving with a dry suit?

Excessive weight while diving with a dry suit can lead to increased air use and decreased dive duration. When divers carry too much weight, they may find it more challenging to maintain neutral buoyancy, which requires more frequent adjustments and greater effort in managing their position in the water. This struggle can lead to faster consumption of breathing gas as divers use more air to compensate for the additional weight and maintain control.

Additionally, the increased effort to stay buoyant can lead to fatigue, ultimately shortening the dive duration. Divers need to properly manage their weight to ensure they can enjoy their dive comfortably and safely, without compromising their ability to manage their air supply or the length of their dive.
