Dang, you ARE dedicated. And way too nice.I was faced with two choices - either abort the effort, climb up the stairs, shuck the dry suit, hang my butt off the platform and pee, thereby delaying everyone's return to diving, or just pee all over myself. So I chose the latter

I think - or at least, I like to believe - that most of the other divers would be rather understanding if you had chosen the former. I would. And if I were in your shoes, I'd pull a Cartman ("Screw you guys, I'm taking a leak!"). But then, I also refuse to just let go during a bike ride like some riders apparently do. If I have to go, I'm getting off that bike. No matter what the rest of the peloton says.
Quick release quick disconnect on the catheter.Well, the plumbing can be routed inside the seat tube for less drag, but I'll have to think about how I should route it past the sealed bottom bracket.
My biggest concern, though, is what will happen if I wipe out and I and my bike go our separate ways. Can you get caths with low-strength glue? Otherwise, I'm afraid you can start calling me Bobbit when I recover...
