Dive-aholic:BTW, what's up with the missing seal? Did you buy your drysuit from Uncle Pug?
No, it blew last month diving with Snowbear, Pug and Shane up in Port Hardy BC. I've been too busy diving, working and posting on SB to fix it.
I was going to bring a different kind of liner for you to try last night... sorry to miss the Puff Daddy Dive Show. However, since you put one liner over your ug that kinda eliminates that.
The only other common denominator is the location. I think you have Alkianaphylaxis.

Snowbear:
Swapping the HID around to different hands? I'll grab the HID with my right hand all the time -- either while I'm dumping, or just to look at stuff off to my hard right...
Two dives today during the day and in a completely different location.
Swelling Is Back!
I also used different glove liners.
Dive #1 Max depth 86' - 48 minutes - Ean32%
Dive #2 Max depth 109' - 51 minutes - Ean32%
I took 600 mlgrams of Aleve an hour before the first dive.
No pain, no other swelling on any other part of my body...
Can't figure it out.

Could be the Aleve, although since it's happened on days you haven't taken it...? Wouldn't hurt to switch to ibuprofen for a while just to see.
Are your hands swollen at all when this happens or is it just your wrists? Have you started using different undergarments or gear configuration that could be cutting the circulation off higher up on your arms?

I looks to me like a puffy band 1" to 1.5" around his wrists.
Where are the bands in relation to any seals? Do they look irritated or just puffy? Itchy?
