Scuba diving wet suits can be one of the easiest items to check for leakages. Essentially, if there is any type of dampness in your undergarments, you know that you are on to something. Look for dampness in your cuffs, and collars, as well as any leakage in your seals. Any leakage in these areas could be symptoms of a possible damage and are common in many scuba diving wetsuits. Ideally, you should look for these things before taking your dry suit off.
Once you get down to repairing the leaks, there are a few important items to consider. Start repairing only after wetsuit is completely dry and before you store it. According to most manufacturers, most leaks in scuba diving wet suits can be fixed at home either by some minor patching, or by different solvents and glues.
The seals of scuba diving scuba diving wetsuits should be checked for any type of tear, cracks, or aging. Also, the zipper, which is a vulnerable point for leakage, should be lubricated with candle wax. In all types of maintenance, be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions. If you are not able to fix the leakage yourself, please consult a professional, or visit your local dive shop for additional suggestions or repairs.
