Hi, I'm new here although I've been reading these foums for quite a while.
I pee without question. You're in the ocean submerged in water, it's lot like your wetting your pants at a party or peeing in a bathtub (neither of which I do). I have a hundred dives on my current suit and it doesn't stink too badly. I rinse with fresh water when I'm done and hang it inside-out, so it gets plenty of air. I don't use any soaps.
A pissed in Dive Suit is not nearly as skanky as a Surf Suit filled with both piss and sweat. Even though your'e in the cold ocean, while surfing you can work up a good sweat paddling your a** off while trying to catch waves or not be run over, which really makes your suit stink! I don't think I sweat much while scuba diving, especially since I mostly take photos and am moving slow. Maybe some of you freedivers work up a sweat pursuing and stuggling with your catch. The piss-sweat combo is the worst!
Yeah... all that hot air... :blackeyeOriginally posted by icarus pacific

Jon, I just bought the same suit and brother are you right! That thing is water tight!....and pee tight.:hmmOriginally posted by Jon
I was always taught that there were two types of divers:
"Those that pee in their wetsuits
and those that lie about it. "
My new Cressi Super Comp is such a well fitting suit that I had a bit of a shock when I went in it for the first time. The suit was totally dry after an hour in the water until I went. It got a little bit of extra attention that day. I hve never owned such a dry wetsuit before.
