Any ideas on how to fix this, it hasnt gone the whole way through although I can feel the water leaking through, its around 2/3 inches in length on the midriff. on the part of the suit which i a rubbery finish (dunno what its called)

New suit too, well 6 months

If the tear is on a seam the manufacturer usually repairs or replaces it for the lenght of the warranty.

Otherwise

You can buy tubes of wetsuit repair kits.

It's nepprene cement: Found this on ebay. Just google for articles on how to. I've used a simlar product before and it seemed to last a good while

Get black witch glue and use dentla floss to stich it if needed it won't rot in salt water.

The dental floss is a class idea, I was just gonna repair mine with fine thread : on the theory that I'd buy a new suit before the shortcomings of my stitching became apparent
