First of all....I will interject that I think peeing in your wetsuit
is disgusting. There is no reason for it. Pee before your dive.
And...since the kidneys are hyperactive during your dive and everyone
has to pee afterward, get back on the boat, take off your gear and
your wetsuit and then jump back in !! Hold onto the anchor line or
geri line and pee !! Putting your fins on to do this is a help...also
your mask and snorkel if the water is rough. Same goes for a beach
dive...get out, peel off and go back in to pee. Now...if you've
already fouled your wetsuit... and you don't care that you spent a
few hundred bucks to buy the thing.... wellllll... Go to the pet
shop and buy a product called "Nature's Miracle". It's use is for
removing the smell of cat and dog urine in your house but it works for
wetsuits too. Soak your suit overnight in a tub of water and add
about 2 cups of Nature's Miracle. Rinse your suit and hang it to dry.
Your suit will be fresh ....until you act like an animal and foul it
