First time in a Hot-Water Suit

[Chummer]

Just had to share...
I did a couple of dives a few weeks ago in my brother-in-law's hot water suit in a trib of the Chesapeake Bay. He is an oyster diver.
He has a one piece 5 mil wetsuit. Tubes run throughout the body, arms and legs...including into your gloves and boots.
The water is pumped down a hose from the boat along the air line for the hooka rig, so of course you are tethered to the boat via a backpack.
Water temp was 53, but I could have laid down on the bottom and taken a nap. It was like wearing a personal jacuzzi.

Did you use the DUI suit? Could you pee in the warm water pumped down from the boat?

It is just an average one piece wetsuit.
He cut a small hole to insert the tubing and then used thread to sew (wrap) the tubes in place throughout the suit. Some degree of care is needed when taking it on or off to ensure the tubes arent pulled too hard.
Peeing wouldnt be a problem. You probably wouldnt even notice the temp change due to the warm water already in the suit. Because of the water being pumped through, it would wash out with the water exchange somewhat.
