Smell of Neoprene

I cannot stand the smell of neoprene. It makes me ill. My wetsuit is a year old, and has over a dozen dives to it, yet it still smells brand new. Anyone know how to get rid of the smell? Am I the only one who hates this smell?

I agree. I open my dive bag up and sniff it once and a while because it smells so good.

Alternatively, I've had a few rental suits that smelled awful. I'm sure if you keep peeing in it without washing it, the smell will go away!

I love walking into a dive shop and having the smell of neoprene hit you.

It is better than a good shoe dept (my second love).
