steveann:If you're sending the suit out for seal replacement, you might as well look into getting the Zip Seals. They're awful nice, and if you rip a seal on the first day of your liveaboard, all you do is whip out a replacement and zip it in. No duct tape for you.
I've thought about the Zip's. They look really convenient, but at this point I'd rather put the money into a bp/w. I'm planning to use the DC ring glove system so I'll have some redundancy on the wrist seals. The neck is a risk on a liveaboard trip, but I hope that with new seals on there the risk of a seal failure on the neck will be low. I'll probably rent a 7 + 7 suit to take with me so if there's a catastrophic failure of some sort on the DS I'll still be able to dive wet.
