Small tears often happen as you put the suit on and take it off quickly when racing. My 5 year old suit has many such tears and repairs. I contacted my wetsuit maker Blue70 asking for their best repair advice. They advised to simply use bicycle tube puncture repair solution. They actually sent me some of the brand they recommend. It works but need to be patient and leave it dry for 1/2hr or preferrably overnight. Use some tape and/or clothes pages to hold the tear together.You could perhaps try same and save yourself a lot of repair costs, not having the suit while it is being repaired and have some glue in your car for any future tears. I have also tried a tougher neoprene glue called aquaseal which is excellent for larger tears but dries to a harder (less flexible) finish.
