I have a problem with "choke" marks on front part of the neck after diving dry. I use a drysuit with latex neck seal. It varies how much/strong they are. Sometimes it goes away at once, sometimes it takes days.
I am not sure why and when it happens. The seal is abit too tight I think, but I have used the suit for hours as boat driver, rescue diver etc without no marks. Only suggestion I have is that it might happen at the end of the dive when the tank is not as full (15 litre steel tank) and I might squeeze the suit too much to stay down. I am pretty well weighted so I have close to no air in wing and suit at the end at the safety stop.
I think I have heard about some people being allergic to latex? But I have never had any problems with the wrist seals so I doubt that might be it.
Anyone know the most common reasons for such marks? And fixes.
