I've been thinking about trying something and wanted to know if anyone else has already attempted it...
On my next dive, I plan on using rubber tape to cover my wetsuit zipper to minimize water exchange. The tape is used mostly by electricians. It has a little stretch to it, is rubber (not plastic), sticks well yet removes cleanly.
The neck opening is the biggest offender for most divers in full suits. Try a hooded vest. That will shut off the neck opening and form a torturous path between you and your back zipper.
The actual zipper does not stretch so that's not an issue for tape. The zipper has relatively small surface area so reliable adhesion is iffy at best.
If your suit does not have a generous inside zipper flap that lays down snug to your back I'd concentrate on adding some material on the inside there.
