Add a pissette to your wetsuits?

  • Add a pissete as an option to your wetsuits?

  • I thought of offering pissettes, more for laughs and to draw attention than anything else. As I don't think American divers will embrace this feature. Plus it's not absolutely necessary, with a two piece suit it's easy enough to loosen the weight belt and pull up the jacket a bit to be able to drop the pants. Also most guys I know wear speedos under the suit. It's more essential for cold water divers who suffer from skin irritation from contact with urine.


    Anyone who really thinks they could use a pissette please post here. If there's enough interest I'll make them available.

  • We northern divers use these - it looks ridiculous! :laughing3: But drift diving one mile from shore, in 40 degree F water, you just don't drop your pants - and you don't swim to the shore - and you DON'T piss your pants. So pissette it is.

  • Id say your right Dan I doubt many Americans would use this me being one. Having said that if I thought it would improve my diving comfort then I'd probably try it.

    - and you DON'T piss your pants. So pissette it is.


    Why is that? Iv never tried one but also never felt that urinating in my suit made me colder or shortened my time in that temp of water. I'm always interested in what you guy's over there are doing because its more like my area then the rest of the US.

  • I'm trying to imagine wearing wetsuit with a pissete on a SHORE dive when I had to walk across/through a crowed beach/parking lot. Depending on the "size" of the pissete - might get some phone numbers (or laughter) on the way to the water :laughing3:

    You can get a severe rash from the urine. Your wetsuit will get really smelly over time - and it's hard to get rid of the smell.
    I believe that if you warm water guys pee i your wetsuit, you can always flush your wetsuit whilst swimming - we don't have this option without shortening our dive considerably.

    Thanks, iv never gotten a rash from wearing a wetsuit so all I could think of the reason for this was to possibly stay warmer. Do they ever leak water in? I'd think that's the last place in a suit I want water coming in.

  • Ha, says the guy fllying around the land of giant pelagics posting zero pictures


    Problem is, that's all I did was fly. I dived one day in the Philippines and we got hit by a typhoon...north but it made the seas rough in the Visayas.
    I go to Hawaii and Dr Wong cut his foot on the boat on the first day diving requiring 38 stitches. No more diving in Hawaii. 30 days and two days diving. No pics badehh.


    But I DID put a FAD in the water yesterday at a double secret spot. A couple fish were on it before we finished. We'll see. Hoping for ono....and if I see one I may need that piss....set....due to excitement. :thumbsup2:


    Dropping a FAD weight....300 lbs of old flywheels....I need to post a pic of Jake's hands. We set it at 275 feet. I'm stoked. Can't wait to see it again.


    And just as we were going to drop it my GPS quit. I don't have the coordinates but I did get a vector on some rocks and islands. I can find it.

  • I have a '' convenience'' zipper 10''s long on my left thigh, if you piss in your wet suit and smell like skank
    you'll never get invited to side tie to a yacht for dinner and drinks:toast:......don't pee in your suit and smell like skank. :D:D


    Cheers, Don

    Don - are those elves shoes in the first photo? Sure looks like it. I need to think some more on your little left thigh zipper before I can make a pissass comment :laughing:


  • So Hank - you were the one that opened the fish hold in Daryl's boat deck and he turned around not knowing you had and stepped in catching the sharp edge and cutting his foot along the toes nearly to the bone. His sister, a dermatologist sewed Daryl up - he said his seamstress sister sewed him. He went diving yesterday said it was ok. Did you guys get any fish? How was it? Reef or blue water or both? May someday take Daryl up for a dive if I'm in the area - would love to hear how that went.

    :laughing3::laughing3: too funny. I even tried to hide them with the black marker.:the shoes were from my pirates of the Caribbean costume.

    You know the story pretty much as it happened. No, it wasn't me. I was still in the water when the fish box was left open.
    Got a few small fish near Chinaman's Hat. I missed a LOT. I was using a mid handle with 5/8 strong bands. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
    His sister put in 38 stitches. Went to his house that night and it was all sewed up.
    He wanted to go the next Sunday and was going to just drive the boat. But I had family plans.
    It's always fun diving with Daryl. It's a lot different then diving here and the fish are pretty educated there. Lot of good spearos in Hawaii. But he knows a LOT of good spots.

    I've never been to Hawaii but have heard that the fish are wary and scarce. They also shoot a lot of fish that I grew up never spearing - considered unedible and too small. Sounds like a fun outing.


    Curious about spearfishing in the Phillipines. I took all my spearfishing gear when we moved to Singapore thinking I would get a lot of opportunities - ha ha never happened but the Phillipines being huge with so many islands was always a place I wanted to dive.


    You didn't have good luck with the weather but any feedback on spearing there?


    Thanks!

    Don - I am still laughing, and trying to conceptionalze the fairy shoes with the implied zipper - a real dichotomy. :laughing3:
