You must have found a killer deal on a p-valve.
I made my own unbalanced pee valve from Ace Hardware. Johnny Richards told me how right after my Cavern class.
I drink tons of water when I dive.
Me too. I have no excuse not to stay hydrated.

halemanō;5246253:I have heard from a physiology standpoint, with regards to hydration and warmth, peeing during the dive leads to a greater degree of dehydration and colder core temp. I'm sure some would question whether the gain is worth the pain sometimes, but I do know my current couple wet suits smell better than my previous wet suits, before I quit peeing during the dive.

There are two kinds of divers:
1. Those who pee in their suit
2. Those who need psychaitric counseling because they don't pee on themselves
I used to pee in my wetsuit. I hated the smell and the feeling of it being on my skin. I started holding it. I hated that. I have now installed a pee valve in my wetsuit. It only cost me around five bucks. Smell free, pee free, clean skin.
When I get a drysuit, I will have a pee valve in that too.

It would be great if you could post how you did this.
