everyong seems to be suggesting ways to keep warm if the suit rips. The other option is to make a suit that wont rip. try having someone custom make a kevlar drysuit. Although it doesn't help with the insulation problem it will be almost imposible to tear especially if it is made with the stuff they make knife proof vests. It might also be possible to have a suit with double seals at the neck and wrists. just another angle on the situation. I don't know if this would even be possible or economically freezing but is something to consider. A friend i dive with has a suit (i think its a harveys)its pretty old but it is a balistic nylon suit with built in nlyon coveralls. they are like a protective cover. Water can freely move between the outer and inner layers and it acts as a protective barrier. I do not no how much protection it offers. but he has never had a tear.
