A question on wrist seals on a dive buddy of mine. She is very petit and I'm not really sure if those skinny things she has are really wrists but she says they are. lol

I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how she could fix this problem.

latex seal just isn't tight enough, her instructor suggested that she use duct tape on her wrists (ouch)

There has to be a better way. Any ideas???

thanks for any advice
 
This is a pretty common problem for people with small wrists (me included), you either learn not to wiggle your wrists around much while diving, or do what I did and spend the $100 on Dry gloves.

FWIW the dry gloves are worthit even if you don't have skinny wrists :D
 
Depending on the suit you could always send it off to have smaller wrist seals put into it. It is a simple operation and might even work out cheaper than dry gloves.
