You might also try falling in ( as in slipping on a rock) to see how that
would
have an effect on the air in the waders that was not able to get forced
out by
walking in. Be careful and have a friend there with you just in case.


Good idea. I think its uncommon to get out to a rock with a pool deep enough
for total submersion without wading past your waist, but it'd be good to
know what would happen, just in case. I'll add that to tomorrows trials.

1) Getting out with the wading belt on,
2) Jumping (falling) in before any partial immersion forces residual air
out,
3) Seeing how much water gets in if I don't hold the top open,
4) Taking off the waders underwater.

Any other ideas?
