Neoprene for Wetsuits

G'day

Just wondering if anyone can help please? I'm wanting to buy some
Neoprene to make a wetsuit for myself, any suppliers you know of would
be greatly appreciated. TIA

What do you all do when you tear your wetsuit and it needs a patch?
Surely someone must have Neoprene or know who has? Would be great if
you would share? Thanks

Rubber Bicycle inner tube patches and glue. or a needle and thread with a
bit of a hot glue gun reinfocing the knot and stitching.

You can always go to the pawnshop/secondhand shop and get a cheap ripped 3mm
surf shortie some surfer rolled on the rocks in. should be cheap, and there
should be plenty of stuff left to cut patches out of.

You're in Aus? hence the Aus.rec.scuba?

hmm... do you know of any wetsuit companies in Aus? there must be a few, if
it were NZ I'd say email or ring Prodive NZ.

So my Advice is: look for an Australian wetsuit brand, find their website
and get their contact details, then ring or email them and ask where they
get there raw material, or if they sell lengths of neoprene.
