That $400 drysuit zipper replacement I put off almost killed my dive Saturday

My neck seal zipper started sticking two months ago and I figured I'd just deal with it, then at 60 feet on a bridge pier inspection in Charleston the thing blew open and flooded my suit. Cost me $475 to fix it right after that, plus a whole day of lost work. Anyone else learned the hard way not to cheap out on zipper maintenance?

Yeah, I used to think it was just a money grab. Not anymore.

That's the kind of expensive lesson in physics you only need once.
