Depending on the size/shape/type of hole you can...

A) send it back to the manufacturer. That'll get you the best repair, but they'll probably charge.

B) Sew it up. Its not easy, but can you sew up small holes.

c) Get some neoprene cement. Basically wetsuit glue - buy it from a surf shop. You'll probably need a patch of neoprene to cover the whole too, so cut something off an old suit or wherever. Shops will often give you a bit if you ask nicely.

How old is the suit ? If the suit is still under its warranty limit then usually it's free to get it repair by the manufacturer. Of course you shouldn't really mention about your uncle tried it on even though it was not his size because that would not be covered under its warranty.

There is some stuff called Stormsure. Its the mutts nuts, put a piece of tape over the hole and smear a load over the other side. Leave it for a day and it ends up just as strong as before. I have used it on many a hole (on my suits) my old man has just used it on the roof of his convertible. Get some!

funny thing : When I tried on my new summer wetsuit 2 weeks ago it felt really cold on my lower back like it was letting in water. My last summer wetsuit wasn't like that so should I try contacting O'neill???
