Drysuit Wrist Seal Questions

Yeah actually I was at Paradise last weekend and you were supposed to be there. My husband (TimLe) and I somehow forgot our regs so we ended up driving there and then back home without diving..doh! We did make it back to dive Sunday and had a great time. No Scubaboarders then though!

Bummer about the tight fit. Latex takes quite a bit of "persuading" to take on a permanent set, so keep the cans in them for at least a few days.
One thing that helps a LOT is to "warm" the latex by sticking a couple fingers in the seal & giving it several quick hard pulls, it limbers things up considerably & has them stretching easier. The trick is especially effective on neck seals.
You'll probably want to have the correct size cuffs installed sooner rather than later; too tight seals are not just uncomfortable, but downright dangerous.
Happily cuffs are the easiest seal to install; your local shop should be able to do it for you as an "overnighter".
