Hello,
after 2 abandoned years I want to dive my 20 years old TLS 350 again. After Covid I developed a latex allergy and so I quit my dry suit in favour of just warm water diving. But the cold waters are calling
The suit fits well and is still tight. A new TLS would be around 3500 bucks and cheaper suits are either "not enough DUI" or due to Brexit also too expensive. So I will give it a try and revive the suit by myself for a few hundred bucks. I brought the suit 16 years ago, so its 2nd hand.
According to my latex allergy I have to change for a neoprene neck seal (or maybe Si Tech Neck Tite) and for Si Tech Quick Cuff (with Quick Gloves). And the original, 20y BDM zipper starts to disintegrate - that will be the most difficult part for me.
I going to post my expirience with this project and some pictures. It my help otherts. And I will apreciate any help and advices.
Best Regards, André
