P-Valve Question.....

[bobroo]

Is there a depth which the ambient pressure becomes stronger than the pressure of your pee?

Meaning: you open the p-valve to release and suddenly you have a flooded drysuit even though you felt like you had to go like a racehorse.


This might be a good question for those really, really deep tec divers.

Nope.

@bobroo no, your body is mostly liquid and solid and as such is mostly incompressible. You equalize the few air spaces that you have in your head, but the rest of your body doesn't really care about ambient pressure *within reason obviously and very simplified*. If this was the case, much more important than p-valves in drysuits, people that go into saturation would not be able to go either and they are in sat for weeks or longer.
