A p-valve is used in a drysuit for a male to urinate through, It is attached to the male appendige and then provides an outlet for witch to relieve ones self through.

Not really - unless you plan to spend more than four continuous hours underwater (decompressing).

There have been a LOT of pro's and con's to the valve.
Um.... it is nice to have yes while many times it has been presented to cause Infections on men where they dont want to get one due to trapped body fluids.
So though many drysuit divers due use them there are many of us that dont.
You are BAD Rick
He has valled questions
Thank you.
Actually, in my case, I consider a pee valve a safety item.
Some time back I took an "undeserved" hit, and the hyberbaric doc said that one of the major contributing factors was being dehydrated. Now I have a pee valve and hydrate up like crazy and life is good.
