Jim,

Duct tape also works very well to temporarily patch a hole you have in your 
latex neck or wrist seal when you are stuck on the boat and can't replace 
your seals.
You can also use it to hold down your drysuit pocket if it unexpectedly 
starts to come off and you don't have enough time to let the glue dry.

Are you going to tell me that it would be better to miss the dive?
