It's certainly not always obvious - I found using a very strong detergent solution, so that it was good & sticky helped. Also, it wasn't immediately obvious - the smallest pinprick lets a helluva lot of water in, without letting much air out - I had to leave the suit inflated for a while and really give it a good soaking in detergent solution before I saw any bubbles - and they were quite subtle - it just grew a bit of froth over the leak, at first I thought they were suds from when I sprayed it.

Not until I wiped them away and saw more bubbles reform did I realise that I'd actually found it.
