Vinegar (1/2 liters in 20-30 liters of water) and leave the suit for 24 hour there then take it out without rising and leave it outside for drying 3-4 days and is done. All things like algae, pee or whatever was there will be gone and no smell at all.
 
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.

This is typically what I do also... but there was this one time... I just got back onto the boat and I had to go pretty bad, so I unzipped and started going over the side of the boat. Then another boat started to go by at a pretty close distance. I didn't really want to stop, so I just decided to give a big wave instead! :happywave:
 
we wash out our suits after each use in a fresh water tube using woolite or dawn dish soap..then i hang them to dry...while they are hanging i give them a spray with fabreeze anti bacterial and zap the order right out of them...
 
Just submerge the wetsuit in water for a half an hour after each dive session.
By the way if you have not urinated in your wetsuit on a cold day you are missing special!

I'll second the vinegar solution; works great ( maybe a very slight vinegar smell until fully aired out ) and costs almost nothing.
