Drysuit repair in Cave Country

[Sludge]

His prices make the shipping costs inconsequential.

His prices are ridiculous. He could double them and nobody would complain.

So many choices....

Guess I'll call Steve! Thanks.

Not that you need it, but I gotta throw in another vote for Gamble......and what Sludge said. Just don't tell Steve we said that !!!!

Agreed. His leak testing skills are amazing too...I've had pinhole leaks that he's found for me and turned the suit around in a day.

My suit is with him right now getting those ridiculously large socks that DUI uses with some fitted socks he carries.

I have a slightly different question. I know Steve comes highly recommended and I am tempted to use him, but my TLS 350 is 4 years old and still under warranty. It has already been back to DUI once about a year+ ago for leak repair, they replaced faulty zip seal rings on the wrists, patched the turbosoles and a bunch of pinholes. It was dry for a short time but has progressively been leaking more - I need to get it sorted before my cave country visit in Nov. I suspect the zipper will need to be changed, the turbosoles for sure, and there is an arm leak somewhere I can't find. My LDS (where I bought the suit) insists on only using DUI's repair service, especially for replacing zippers. (They suggested only DUI could do satisfactory work especially on the zipper). Is there anything in your collective experiences that would support or refute this?

I'm on my third (and last tls 350) DUI: Dry Until Immersed, will not by another one. Mine leaks like a wet suit at the moment and where is not easy to find...as all have said, brand does not matter, send it to Steve. I'd advise a different brand, i'm going to give the Santi a try. Bill

The Florida DUI rep has his DUI suit repairs done by Extreme Exposures in High Springs. I had extensive work done on my Fusion there a year ago (modifications and seal replacements) and they did an OUTSTANDING job. All of the work looked as though it had come from the factory. They were not particularly inexpensive, but the work was beautiful, and they'll get my suit repair jobs for the foreseeable future.

This is not to downgrade Steve Gamble, who has, as you can see, an enviable reputation. But there ARE other options, if he's busy.
