Having holed a set of seals in Stoney on Tech 1 while scrabbling around blind trying to find the line, I can relate to your predicament.

You have 2 options:

1. Get yourself some 'manchette' seals which are thicker than the normal latex seals you get. These will last much longer than the normal thickness seals and what Garf and I have on our Protecs with Ro-Locks.

2. If you want the standard thin seals, get yourself some inner tube and cut some rings. Stretch it over the point where the latex seal goes into the ring to protect the seal where it is stressed.

The latter option is available as a commerical option from a dive shop in Germany but the same effect can be achieved using inner tube.
