OK, how long can you autorotate your BigJet? As I'm sure Kraken will point out to you.BigJetDriver69:You fling-wingers just hopelessly keep thinking those things will fly, even though you know what happens when the noise stops.
On the other hand, we fixed-wing guys actually do know that ours will continue to fly for quite a while even when all is silent.

(Hey, I'm just a former Army tanker. And tanks stay firmly on the ground, thank you... just attract large flying objects on the battlefield...)
The Kraken:I don't think, given the way a wet suit fits, it would be easy to don the suit without causing some issues with the requisite ancilliary attachments.

The Kraken:Nope, just learned to hold it. There were moments, however, when the release was quite appropriate!!!
The Kraken:But, back to topic . . . I generally try to hit the head before I leave to go to the dive and then at the dive site/boat immediately before I gear up.
Also, I try to keep from OVER hydrating. No need to add fluid when it's not necessary.
Properly hydrated, yes . . . overly hydrated, no.
Plungebob:Yeah sure it,s funny .But seriously......I know there is dry-suits available with pee valves . But what about wet-suits..I,m a new diver and still using rented skins or dive shop loaners. So you can imagine my reaction when our instructor suggested we shound pee if we have to ..YIKES STRIPES ..Im goin to buy my own suit soon. Any suggestions.. I live in Montreal and it can get cold ,still I plan to do mostly warm water dives.
BigJetDriver69:An interesting viewpoint. Pretty damn insulting, culturally arrogant, stupid, and untrue, at least in my experience, but hey, what the heck, it's your opinion.
Frankly, I could say the same about Europeans on public transport in the summer, but I'll be polite and skip that observation.
Cheers!
