Peeing in your wetsuit can be advantageous....

Hey Jack,

Only you could come up with a post like this

Hey your bouyancy control is pretty good lately and as I recall, your drysuit does not have a pee valve does it. So the question is do you or don't you ..................... oh never mind, I don't really want to know

The jewel squids are one of the strangest occupants of open-ocean waters. Firstly they have wonky eyes, the left eye is always much larger than the right. In some species the left eye is telescopic while the smaller right eye is normal. These squids have a funny slant on life, literally. They hang at a 45 ° angle and use the huge eye to look up for passing prey. Meanwhile the normal eye looks below for any signs of attackers. The common name comes from the scattering of small iridescent spots over the undersides of the body, head and arms. These are tiny directional light organs like tiny car headlights. When the squid is hanging at a 45 ° angle, all the light organs aim down and produce just enough light to cancel out the silhouette of the squid against the weak light from the surface above. They can even adjust the lights for different depths or time of day. Jewel squids are able to float mid-water by filling their soft flesh with pockets of ammonia solution that is less dense than seawater and cancels out the weight of their muscles. They make these solutions out of their body wastes: urine is turned into buoyancy.

As a drysuit diver, I have the bladder control OF A GOD!

Specially on all day trips. Why can't they make a curteousy (sp?) zip for women?

I never did it either ...

I'd feel kind of odd to do this in a rental suit

You know what you can sufer from hypothermia from doing this because pee is wormer than the sea water and than your body, so your body will drop that heat. So first you will feel very nice worm but it will only last for few minutes and then you will find that you are feeling so cold. You will start shivering and your air consumption will increase which will lead to losing air quickly. on other hand I don't think that it is something nice unless it will be added to PADI, SSI .... Courses

Shameless plug time for one of my shirts:

"I never get narced or pee in my wetsuit"

Seems to be a fave through the years.
