Too skinny

[scubaskipper]

My problem is, water leaks in the neck and wrist whenever I move my head right or left. Seems like the tendons in my neck open up the seal. When I flex my wrist down it does the same thing. Anybody got a trick to fix this?

This is what you want. Just so you know, they do not last forever, they do fall apart after a couple of years. They are very popular with commercial divers who use and sicard after a couple of months.

I looked at the bio seals already. At $80 a pair, they seem to be a bit pricey. Replacement seals are the same price. Any other suggestions?

yeah, dont move your head or flex your wrists

Find a wet suit maker and have them cut out a neck ring for you and some wrist cuffs that have smooth skin on both sides.

Or, order a smaller set of neck and wrist seals.

Or, if your suit will work with it, have neoprene seals installed.

I am totally assuming that you are referring to a dry suit.

I've already taken to rolling my whole body instead of turning my head anymore than needed. I don't need to move my wrist as much now that I'm not shooting so much UW video. If I'm careful about movements, I can usually come out of the water with maybe 1/8th cup water to wring out. Smooth skin gauntlet and neck gator I've thought of, I'm trying to find a source now. I'll try neoprene seals the next time seals need to be replaced. Thanks
