noticed this morning that I have a thumbnail shaped and quite deep (but not pierced the suit) cut/nick in my wetsuit.
what can I sue to patch it up? I was hoping for another year from it still (notwithstanding weight loss/body shape changes hopefully!) and it is only one nick, non poercing.
cheers

Pick it up from most online surf shops.
How bad is it, is it only a small nick?
Black Witch is a def and it maybe worth while putting a patch on it to stop the tear/nick getting any bigger.
In his case the zipper came right off, might be worth having it looked at though. Ask the manufacturer

Just take it to a wetsuit maker. There's loads out there.
Scuba diving chaps all love to have custom made wetsuits and so shops/firms abound that will simply unpick the old one and sew in a new one for you.
Google them. You may need a trip to the coast as that's where most are based.
have ordered the aqua-jobby stuff... many thanks to all that answered
