How do i tighten the neoprene neck seal on my "divemaster" northern divers drysuit?

Question

I need to know how to go about this at home; what type glues and the whole procedure (in steps if possible) from beginning to end. Also how much to bring it in going by my neck size and the neckseal size as it is just now.

Answer 1

Once the neoprene seal has stretched, you won't get it back again. You really need to replace it with a new seal, (consider getting the wrist seals done at the same time if you have to, and don't forget to check the boots out as well!). Neoprene seals are harder to replace than latex seals and I would recommend you go to your local dive store and have a chat to them about it before you do anything else I'm afraid.

Here's a good article on the kind of wear to look for elsewhere while you're at it:

Answer 2

Northern Diver Divemaster Drysuit

Answer 3

Why don't you just take it to someone who does this kind of thing professionally? They will have the tools, the time and (most importantly, from the point of view of the person who's going to be wearing the suit afterwards i.e. YOU) the talent to do the job properly.

Sure it might cost you a bit of extra cash, but on the other hand, you can be reasonably sure the job's been done right, and in the unlikely event you get a cold flush, you've got a receipt (and someone to sue), which is a lot better than "some bloke off the internet".

Answer 4

The answer is simple, ditch the drysuite and dive somewhere tropical where you only need your swimshorts.

Answer 5

Simple, use some muff wax and strangle yourself.
