Unfortunately yes. For me it was after about 100 dives in the suit, and it was just the start of many leaks that have occured all over the suit since then.

You have a seven year warranty on the suit for leaks. Contact Diving concepts and they will take care of it.

What type suit are you using.

I have been using mine severly for a year now and its bullet proof

Hi Jacek!

Sometimes flexible croach strap is a reason - can works as a saw...

But more aften can be partly properly adjusted strap - not enough tight, or to sharp edge of the strap.

When suit have not smooth material - holes come very quick

.

Sometimes it can help, when you use a smooth "pipe tape" - put it over the croch strap (you can buy this in a climbing shop), or... silver tape as a protector (of course, to protect strap - not suit

).

Please write down how is your suit after next 50 dives with flexible strap.

Good Luck !
