Changing over to a dry suit should not present any real
problems.
If you use a hired or loaned suit then the position of the valve
may be an issue but I would not think it would be insurmountable.
If you buy a new suit you can have the inflation valve situated
anywhere you want ( on the suit is preferable .
If you buy a second hand suit you could have the valves repositioned
to suit your configuration.

Buy a Halcyon Wing System, or similar, and all your problems are solved.
Talk to Bardo on this newsgroup or my LDS at Selsey, 01243 601000. Money
well invested and you will never wear a BC again.
