    Click on resources above, then under Gear, click Drysuit Repair.

    You can also do a Google search for someone in your area

    Oooops!!! My bad, sorry about that. Too used to posting on the other board where you can actually do recommendations.
    Ok, go to the other board and ask again...

    Dive safe,

    ive had great success patching little pinholes in my wing bladder with bike tire patches. My wing is airtight enough to stay rigid for days, and the repair bill was pretty low.

    however, some of you nutty sidemounters have wings with more than a few pinholes... from what I've seen, a wing made of ducktape and aquaseal can last for as long as an entire dive, mabe even longer.

    Hey now, let's not get too personal. Seriously, we're used to the stuff, it's sort of like a good woman.

    I have used a water bed repair kit. It works great and on some materials is superior to aquaseal. I even use it on my counterlungs, and it lasts more than one dive, (well most of the time). Just being funny.

    Go to a bicycle shop and get a Park Glueless Patch Kit. It's something like seven patches for two bucks.
