Is it bad to PEE in your wetsuit?

I found eating the bananas at least a half hour before the dive worked.

I've never liked bananas very much, thus the potassium pills. But I wonder how much just having a banana or two before a dive does help. Don't you need time for it to be digested and into your system? I have no idea how long that takes. My take on the banana thing would be you'd have to have a fairly steady diet of them. I take a potassium pill daily and really haven't cramped to any degree in years. Those with expertise please fill me in.

1L of water before bed time works like a charm. No more cramping today skiing in Brighton (Utah). It was cold day (+ windy & snowy) though. 14F (-10C) in the Resort & 3F (-16C) up on top.

By all means, please pee. Otherwise, you'll get uromysitisis poisoning (obscure Seinfeld reference).

No way, man. Having used condom catheters in my drysuit I would never put one on a wetsuit. They beat wearing a diaper, but I'd rather just go in the wetsuit without question.

most of my diving is dry, necessary evils there and better than coming out smelling horrible *both you and the suit*

Just saying hi and hope to learn a lot from the group. New divers from WA state.

It's only bad to pee in your wetsuit if it is actually owned by someone else.

Hmm....Begs the question--Bad for who?

As long as it is not on the boat, very bad karma to take bananas on a boat.
