I don't urinate in my wetsuits. I just go immediately before and after the dive. I hold it for an hour to an hour and a half.

OP did not say they peed in their wet suit. someone else did
 
Simple Green works well too. Sorry if someone has already mentioned it.
 
Use rentals only? Not your problem that way?

Yes it is. Only then you would be diving in a suit with wizz from who knows who. If that isn't a good reason to buy your own wetsuit, nothing is.

Like others i've used Sink the Stink with good results, MiraZyme works good also. Soak it good in the solution as instructed and let hang dry. If it's really bad wash it after soaking in the washing machine on gentle cycle using one of the solutions instead of detergent.

Last resort, spray some perfume on it and sell it cheap to an enemy.
 
If you're going to try to put it in your washing machine remember it floats. Probably best to take it to the laundromat unless you have a front loader at home.
 
Pull open at the neck, allow water to flow in, repeat and shake left leg every third 'flush'.....

Front loader is the only way to go Sparty. Go Green!
 
Rinse it off in that tank in the boat that they otherwise use for cameras.:D

Or you could just pee in that tank instead.
 
I would think that a good rinse in fresh water would be sufficient and a mild cleanser (I've heard people say woolite) would be sufficient.

The enzymes work, but typically for products you can't wash - carpets, etc. It may just be overkill.

What have people tried that hasn't worked?
