dry suit refurb?

[NOVIZWHIZ]

It's that time of the year...I drag my dry-suit out and wonder if I can get "one more season" out of it...... seals are looking "iffy"...

Anybody recommend a good refurb facility that's not half way around the world....? Think all I need are seals... I've got one of the old Harvey's SHell Hogg suits...

Your suit sounds like it's a great candidate for a DIY project; materials cost of under $35 - $45 + some elbow grease.

If you need more repairs than that, check out the Airspeed Press for a dandy suit repair book: WETSUIT AND DRYSUIT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

DIY, huh? have you figured in the DA factor? JK thanx, I'll give it a try!

mine's not the vulcanized viking type DS- seals and how they attach don't look the same - are they? Looks too easy....

Bob gave good advice. But if you don't want to tackle it yourself give Steve Gamble a call. He'll give you the skinny. I've had him repair some things for me. Top notch standup guy.

Thanx guys - just shot him an e-mail -I've found when I try and do something myself usually costs me x's 3 - costs of materials for DIY, cost to undo what I screwed up, cost to repair original problem .....

These folks did a fantastic job with new seals on my DUI -- far superior to the original seals:

Superior Diving Repair, Inc.

they did good work for me, too. They cost more than Gamble, but they do good work.
