Update on that 'bargain' drysuit I bought online for $800

The seals failed on the first dive in Puget Sound last month, flooding the suit and costing me a full day's pay, plus the repair bill was almost half what I paid for it.

My "bargain" wetsuit did the same thing.

Bargain" gear always seems to cost more in the end.

My old Scubapro suit leaked at the neck seal on a Lake Michigan dive. I sent it to DUI in San Diego for a full reseal, which ran about $400, but they gave it a full inspection too. That was five years ago and it's still bone dry. Have you looked into sending yours back to the maker for a proper fix?
