Re: Scuba
No, they're pretty nice to dive actually. Depends what dry suits they're buying as some are worse than others.
I dive a TLS-350 by DUI with a front-zipper (considered a self-donning suit) and I don't use the zip-seals approach or integrated gloves. We dove dry even in warm water if it was flood conditions due to contaminants, integrated gloves meant that in 80* water I was wearing ice gloves.
I have 4+ pairs of gloves in the bag, everything from the "blue" dry gloves by DUI to just a pair of mechanix gloves.
The 2 biggest things to worry about with drysuit use is avoiding a "feet high" situation where you can start to ascend and not realize it which turns into an unarrestable ascent and how always keeping an eye on where your shoulder purge valve is for buoyancy control.
After that, stuff like suit squeezes, "raining in the suit", seal leaks, etc are minor issues to deal with.
Take a class and think about what can happen before trying something, always keep the "quantum bubble-nomics" in your head and realize you're wearing a balloon.
