Diving with a P-valve

[scubaninja24]

Hello Ladies! I am often asked by many women (and also men), how the whole P-valve situation works. I've written up a blog on it: Pee If You Want to go Deeper – Work hard, tri hard (peeifyouwanttogofaster.com)

For any males that you might know, there is a co-authored blog for the boys: fluid dynamics - Rec2Tec Diving

thanks for "going deep" for a little bit. I have been lucky enough to not have to deal with such things just by chance. Period days not lining up with local dive days - or for a big trip, I would go the medical route with a BC shot.

Annoying life things to think about!!

make sure the exit tube isnt kinked and the valve is open so that you dont get back pressure and possible urinary infections

I agree! The reason I went off BC is a whole other article in itself.. LOL

agreed! the fluid can get stuck in a few places. I found coiling it was the best way to avoid for me
