I don't have any experience in moving water, but my take on a flooded dry
suit
is that the two biggest problems a

- Cold. Most people don't wear neoprene under the suit, so once it's full
of water, you're practically naked. Not totally unless the suit is
flushing a lot, but close enough....

- Getting out of the water. I'd guess you can flop your torso over a
boat,
but being able to lift a water-filled leg would seem impossible.



I think you have it 100% right.
