Yahey, I tell my customers to fold the latex neck seals down, it's the recommended way for Vikings at least. It's pretty much the only way to do it with a neoprene seal.
If you can get away with tucking it down, give it a try. It seals the bubble in better & you can get away with a looser fit.
Worth a shot in the pool at least, eh?
:wink:
 
Get the seal fixed. There are, however, pullover neoprene neck rings that you can pull the seal over. I've used them on rental equipment and they work quite well...you can still pull the seal away in an emergency. It is just a simple piece of neoprene that you pull over your head, fold under and pull the latex seal over the top. Ask your dive shop -- if they teach a drysuit specialty, they should have them.
