Hi y'all

I've done about 20 dives in my Oceanic dry suit now and have stretched the neck seal about as far as I can... it spends weeks with a rather large plant pot stretching the neck seal to what seems like breaking point, yet it's still too tight... I'm loathe to trim it as I've heard that this can start it fraying and causing other problems...

Now when I don this suit I apparently look like i'm being strangled, and a recent close up piccy of me under water freaked me out, as I could see my face was swollen and the whites of my eyes were looking a little red :shocked:

to make matters worse, i've just recently hit the gym after many years away and my neck is growing again (once upon a time it measured 18-1/2"  )) so the problem is getting worse, and on Sunday at Capernwray, walking back to the car I noticed that my eyes couldn't focus anymore.... lol.. So I think it might be time to start chopping said neck seal.....

So any tips on what to do and how to do it would be greatly appreciated... I would like a normal looking head (insert abusive comment here) but not so loose a neck seal that I lose air past it.

So whats the best way to go guys and gals??
