Pee versus the semi-dry

[hmoffatt]

Well I apologise for another icky topic... I am interested in a semi-dry for warmth as the water here in Melbourne is 13 degrees C now and getting colder as winter progresses.

However I err am rather prone to immersion diuresis, if you catch my drift. Is this the enemy of the semi-dry? Will it be reduced by being warmer? Or should I skip the semi-dry, get a second mortgage and get a dry-suit with P valve?

thanks
Hamish

i wonder if you could use Depends with a semi-dry?

probably not ... just thinking outloud

melbourne diving :shocked2:

go to the drysuit, straight to a drysuit,.... do NOT pass anything (pee or otherwise) on your way to ordering this

because, at some point in the next 12 months, you will wish you had bought a drysuit and will be planning on buying a drysuit

get a pvalve while you are at it - and at least one pocket if not 2.... get all of this done at the same time so you dont have to hand the suit back in at a later date to do an upgrade

btw, i dive in a semidry most of the time (when not in a drysuit) and pee ALL the time when in my semidry, its no issue - just flush the suit a bit before you get out
