Drysuit Hole & Cut Locations?

[Akimbo]

Just curious, where do you get most of your drysuit holes, cuts, tears, and failures?

For me:

• Recreational wreck diving: Lower leg first and fore arm second.
• Photography: Lower leg and knees.
• Sightseeing: I don’t recall ever poking any holes.
• Commercial diving: Lower leg unless I am wearing Wellies (rubber boots), the inner thigh, and inner elbow from wrapping myself around down and hog lines or structure.

I have lost latex wrist seals but rarely. Probably because there is usually a bucket of soapy water around to dunk seals into before putting on or removing following the old deep sea/heavy gear tradition.

In the foot. Why? I have no idea.

These thoughts come to mind: Could it be that sand or gravel gets in the fin and wears a hole as you swim? Do you wear any kind of rock or over boot? Do leaks occur less when boat diving than off the shore?
