The dump valve on a drysuit should typically be closed during descent and at depth to maintain the desired level of buoyancy and insulation. It should be opened as needed to vent excess air to prevent over-inflation and achieve neutral buoyancy, especially during ascent to avoid a rapid, uncontrolled rise. The key is to adjust the valve as necessary based on your depth and buoyancy needs throughout the dive.
