How big of a hole are you talking? If it isn't to huge you can just buy some glue and patch it up yourself, you can get glue from www.legendary.com.au (based in melbourne)

Or send it off to be repaired if it is majorly damaged, i don't know of any repair shops in the geelong area however.

Nanna Arms did a good how to on Spearoz. http://spearoz.org/index.php?topic=4383.0
Others have disagreed in the past but I use and recommend Seal Cement with a smear of Aquaseal over the top and don't bother with any stitching. None of my repairs have ever failed and I've done a few now on both surf and dive suits.

My cousin did a repair for he's mate not to long ago, he got banged up against a couple of rocks while rock hopping. He put rubber glue in the inside and then bought a clear sealer that comes in strips from bunnings, and put it on the outside and inside. Works fine from what I know.

definantly don't use a tire repair kit doesn't have enought stretch and aquaseal is one of the worst things you can put on a wettie, i had to repair 2 suits last week for a company that tried to fix there suits with aquaseal (wont wreck the area straight away but it does eventually)

I did :lol:
Aquaseal isnt meant to glue surfaces togetyer but its the ducks nuts in a smear along the line of the tear over the top surface. To those who say it doesn't stretch, neither does stitching which is the only other option in a big tear.
