Yes I pee in my wetsuit anytime I feel like it. I had a complex about it for months and months when I started diving and couldn't pee in my wetsuit so would end most dives with a mad rush to get to a toilet. Lucky I am over that now :) can't go two hours on land without needing to pee so I certainly can not go two hours underwater without needing to go :rofl3: My dives are much longer now as a result, before I was limited to 60-70mins.

I don't pee in my drysuit but I wish I could. Going to get a p-valve by next winter!
 
hmmm.. This scenario may best explain:In a public restroom with heavy traffic, I can stand at the urinal and relieve myself in the time that it takes, on average, 3 people to come and go.
Don't confuse speed with size. Maybe you just pee slowly, rather than have a large bladder. As for your experience with men who "come and go" while you're in the restroom - I'll just leave that one alone.

I've never peed in my wetsuit either. I know the old saying, divers have either peed in their wetsuit or lie about it - but it's just not true. My dives are not that long - an hour at most. It doesn't take much effort to just "hold it" if necessary. Even if I had to pee the moment I got in the water - it's only an hour until I get back out again. I just have not had the need. I suppose if I really needed to, I would pee in my wetsuit, but not my drysuit. I'd end the dive first.
 
I pee in both my wet suit and dry suit.

It's sort of a warm feeling... primeval.... comforting....
 
I used to pee in my wetsuit. Then I got a drysuit with a p-valve.

I pee about three times a dive (dives lasting about 60-80 minutes).



I think it's important to note that the urge to urinate means more than you drank too much. It is one of the very first physiological responses to cold. Urine is just extra fluid the body needs to keep warm, so it tells you to get rid of it. Holding it in during a dive may make your body work extra hard to maintain core temperature. This is true in warm water as well as cold.
 

Here ya go.
