Reference for drysuit repair

Does anybody have positive or negative comments on (Underwater Sports Scuba
Diving ) located in Seattle ? regarding Drysuit repairs.
I am in California, unable to find anyone who replaces latex neck seals.
I have tried the manufacturer, " Waterproof ", but there in Sweden. Thanks
JK

While I can replace a latex neck seal, I choose not to. I send my stuff to Steve Gamble up in Gainesville, FL. Drysuit repairs are his specialty.
I can also operate on any part of my body that I can reach with my right hand, but this too I also choose to farm out.
Steve will do you right.

If you happen to have a drysuit that Steve can't or won't work on, Super Diving Repair does a superb job and they stand behind their work.

jkandis, don't know where in SoCal you are located by Pacific Wilderness in San Pedro does dry suit repairs in-house (seal replacements, leak test & leak repairs, etc.) everything but zippers or boots usually within 10 day-2wk turnaround.

Do mean Superior? both Steve & Superior have done great by me.

Oops. That's what I get for typing when I'm exhausting from overdiving.
