I guess this doesn't qualify as an emergency, but it's getting close to that. I have a trip scheduled in a few weeks, and plan to use my drysuit. Well, I did.

Gear inspection and PMCS come naturally to me, so that's what I just did. I haven't used my drysuit in about 2 1/2 years..so guess what condition the latex seals were in? That's right, I need to get my seals replaced; all 3 of them.

So now what? Do I send it back to the manufacturer (Pinnacle)?
Can I replace them myself?
Can I get detachable seals for them?

And now that my suit needs more intensive maintenance, what else do I need to inspect? Should I find a shop to take this to to get all this work done?

Anyone who's had to deal with this, please give me some guidance!

Talked to the local shop today, they're shipping it to DRIS for me. Thanks.
 
I have always had excellent results with Mark Owens at Superior Diving Repair - Superior Diving Repair, Inc.. 218-825-7009
Wanted to ask your opinion, but I found the bad seals at 2300 on Sunday in Texas, and the shop called me about a set of fins at 10 the next morning.

I'll remember that if I need any other repairs- Thanks.
 
DRIS have done a couple of repairs and fitted a neck ring to my suit. Overall very happy with their work.
