This has been one of the more interesting threads to follow in a while.

Another one of my aquatic activities is scuba diving, where I wear a wet
suit most of the time.  And when you gotta go, you gotta go. Theres a saying
in diving - When it come it peeing in your wet suit, there are two types of
divers.  Those that do it, and those that lie about not doing it.

I don't know if this product has ever been mentioned on the list before, but
'Sink the Stink'  does a excellent job of cleaning just about anything
organic that a wet suit can absorb.

The dive shop I frequent caters to the cave diving community here, and sell
catheters over the counter.  A number of the dry suits have a picot (sp?)
for the catheter to attach to, so as to soil whatever is worn under the dry
suit.
