Shoe goo, inside, outside, patch or plain. It's extremely flexible and holds like iron.
If you have a large tear, use a patch. If its only a leak just put some on it. I'd probably apply it to both sides of neoprene.

I had a small rip in mine and i used aquaseal with a patch on the inside and outside . I think i over did it , but , what the heck . If that doesn't keep it sealed nothing will .
