Hi! ok time to get flamed. One from the newb. I have not been down in my drysuit yet, very shortly though. Last week at the LDS meeting I humbly put out the pee question. All the techs screamed 'nappies'. I will not say why as the flames will roast me. But one of the more seasoned mixers came up to me and said kev I'm a SWAT member when we are in WAIT mode we cant move for any reason, we wear nappies in that case. So I said why not just hold it, he said sometimes its cold and you just gotsta go. He gave all sorts of pros and cons for the valve and all sorts of pro and cons for the nappies. For me right now seems cost wins. He has peed maybe 5 times in 200+ dives, many long dives. Maybe his constitution is strong, whatever that means. So he said why not dive a few times, see how you do in regards to elimination issues. O ya I said how do you feel when you go in one. He laughed-try it at home. I guess thats along the lines of clearing your nasal passage with saline.
My decision is to dive a few times with the nappy see how it is. They all have said it does not leak into the underwear. Another new adventured in diving. kevin
are you sure he didn't say that he was a Navy Seal?
But I supposed all of you that want to wear your own piss, have at it.
