Naahh, not to tough.  You only need to cut a hole, not cut it off.  Small
1-2 inch cut would vent pretty damn fast.  Sharp knife, one cut should do
it.  I know my knife is pretty sharp since I only use it to cut through
stuff on the bottom, line, wire, etc..  In fact, I just cut through 2 copper
wire in one swipe on the first try no sweat.  Solid core wire, probably 12
gauge.  Doubt a CF200 is much tougher than 2 solid core 12 gauge wires.  And
no, my knife is nothing special, 4" standard SS knife with a sharp edge.

Art.

I do not know what kind of drysuit Garrett had, 
but I imagine it will be pretty hard to cut a compreesed neoprene suit
like the DUI CF 200, f.i. , which a knife. 
Scissors may be different.
