Pee valves for recreational diving

Don't be a weenie. Go for the "barbed brass coupling". It won't slip and cause social embarrassment.

Hee hee! OK Jacques! Get that double-hoser going!

MechDiver,
I've been on 'both sides of the fence' and found a drysuit to be more trouble than they are worth! Pee Valves, buoyancy issues, gluing pockets on thighs, etc - hot in the summer in-between dives - sweat to death in that thing in-between dives chatting with my buddies! At least with a wetsuit I could take the jacket off and stay cooler!

I couldn't care less if you dive in a burlap bag bud. You asked a question, I answered it.

If a drysuit is more than you can handle, maybe instead of making stupid comments to those who answer your questions, you could take some dive classes.

MechDiver,
Did you forget to take your Paxil CF today?

Get thee to a pee valve, er... or something like that.

I just installed one, balanced Halcyon. I loooovvvee it.

I can drink as much water as I want. I do not have to take the drysuit off to p. The external cath is easy to hook up (we had 28 divers - 15 women - on a 65 foot boat for a 3 day trip, never had a problem turning my back for 2 seconds to hook it up)

I see no drawback to it whatsoever.

Or, just go ahead and wear adult diapers....not

This may sound stupid, but what about using a catheter bag instead of wearing depends or installing a through-valve. If you were to rent a dry suit without a valve, installing one would problably upset the renter.

I'm not familiar with how one would be placed/worn, but realize you have a considerable amount of pressure on the outside of a drysuit, which is offset to a certain degree with the air placed inside. You would have to have enought air inside your suit to let the bag expand when used. I'm assuming this is a flexible bag. What happens if you turn upside down?

Doesn't sound like a winner to me

I was going to ask him to give us a trip report... in a rented suit of course.
