If the seals and zipper are ok,, and they are not cut to much for you. IE they fit without leaks.
Then there should not be any additional costs for now. Besides some wax on the zip (for lubrication) As you dive the great wrecks of Jersey you are bound to put a hole or two in the suit.
Not really a big deal, just an inconveniece. That is if you hunt for food and you will bump into said wrecks. Learning to patch your suit will save you some $. Other than that, welcome to the dry side!
See you Topside! John

i have to get a new neck seal because the person before me had a fatter neck. other then that i think i would get it serviced just to make sure everything is in good shape.
