<font color='#0000FF'>Hi guys,
I have a frequent problem with leaking neck seal on my dry suit. &nbsp;I seem to get 10 mins into a dive when I get the cold trickle down my neck. &nbsp;I have had a new seal fitted with little effect. Does anyone have any suggestions that I could try out to sort this prob out?

Cheers.

Assuming it's a latex seal (neoprene neck seals always leak anyway in my experience), and if it's long enough, try tucking the seal inwards a centimetre or two. Any air migrating upwards will then form a circular balloon round your neck and hopefully make a water-tight seal. I've done it for years and it works fine for me.

<font color='#810541'>Yes neoprene is the way to go in my opinion. Lovely and warm and never leaked. I hate latex, just couldn't get to grips with them, that goes for the wrist seals aswell.

I have a membrane suit, and therefore latex seals. &nbsp;I use vet lube to stop it leaking. &nbsp;I used to find that they leaked because when i turned my neck it pulled and let the water in. &nbsp;Vet lube (think KY jelly for cows) stops it from pulling your neck to bits (and chafe marks), and mine have never leaked! &nbsp;Vet lube is waaaay cheaper than KY and comes in 500ml bottles!

I had a look at the Bio seals when I was in the local shop today. Had a play and it appears that it should work well.

<font color='#0000FF'>Thanks for the tips guys, though I wonder how an eaves dropper would interpret a conversation that had comments about latex and cow lube!
