Has anyone had any experience replacing a dump valve on a dry suit. Went diving last night and went to dump some air and was soaked from the left side all the way into my boots. I think I have a bad dump valve because I get water in everytime i dump air. Please help.

Replacing the valve isn't hard. It's two pieces that screw together. You may not need to replace it, take it to a shop and a good tech can repair it. If it can't be repaired you can order a new one and replace it yourself.

Scottri said it well. Any piece of debris, fibers, hair, dirt etc. can let water weep in through the valve. I'd be surprised if it was actually uncleanable/unrepairable. I just had one do that myself.
