Sig, What about some type of underwater patching material? MAybe you could figure a way to carry something like the caulking and such that they use to repair boats in the water. Maybe figure a way to place the caulking on the patch ready to go. If you did, then maybe you could develop a way to pump out water inside the suit, maybe with some type of suction balloon, like the moisture dump on the Halycon rebreathers. Then you could remove the water, and with argon you'd be uncomfortable but not dead. The biggest problem I would think you'd have during the dive would be to identify the leaking spot. MAybe this idea is totally useless, but its the best i could think of. regards, al marvelli -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
