With good flexibility and with some practise and technique i'm sure you can do it yourself.

Always used to be able to do the back zip on my old suit on my own. That's what happens when youur knuckles drag on the ground... Neoprene is indeed waterproof but neoprene seals don't fit as tightly as latex ones. I've been using a neoprene suit and can vouch for the wrist and ankle seal being unpleasantly less than watertight - paled into insignificance once I managed to put a two inch rip in to it though... |

I can barely get in or out my front zipped dry suit without pulling a muscle or getting stuck and feeling claustraphobic! So maybe I'm not the best person to help. |
