Welcome to SB.
Its a natural thing to urinate in your wetsuit. You are supposed to be well hydrated prior to diving then you enter the water which is colder than your body temperature. Subsequently your body fluids shift to your core because your peripheral circulation vasoconstricts to prevent heat loss. This causes part of the heart to see more blood thereby releasing a hormone signaling the kidney to secrete the excess fluid. End result you decide to pee.
It's worse if you don't..... there is a company in Texas that will install a short zipper horizontally across the crotch area if you wanted. Saw an older man with that done and decided I would do it when my current suit wears out.
