I don't have any issues with my Ocean Kayak.

When I get on site I toss the anchor and let it set. Next, I put on my fins and dangle my legs off of the sides of the boat- this lower my center of gravity and helps to stabilize things. All of my (diving) wetsuits are unlined so I lube up the jacket and put it on. If I didn't have lube I would soak the jacket first before I slip it on. As long as your fins are on and your legs are in the water you should be stable. Things might be different on a surf-ski, but on a dive kayak you're pretty stable.

Farmer Johns would probably be best for kayak diving, but I use high waisted pants these days.
