Help I STINK!!!!

[FW]

I'm wondering if it would be relatively easy to build a PVC tree (two pipes to hold a drysuit upside-down by going up the legs) and hook it up to this boot dryer...

Nothing but wetsuits, but most have the same affect on me.

DAN's medical line is free, and they may be able to give you more information. You don't have to be a member or have their insurance.

(But if you don't, it's like skydiving without a parachute.)

I'm still trying to get my brain wrapped around how some of ya'll can dive without peeing... anytime I jump in a spring wearing a wetsuit, I'd have just about as much success trying not to pee as I would if I tried to jump off a roof and not hit the ground.

First thing my OW instructor taught us about scuba diving was there were two kinds of divers... those that pee in their suit, and those that lie. He also taught us that the difference between and OW diver, and an Advanced OW diver was being able to continue finning while peeing.

If he had a rash or was itching associated with it that would make sense, but smell alone would not be an indicator of reaction to a product.

right before the dive, empty bladder. it doesn't fill up that fast....so far longest dive was 3:32. Add dress time, swim down the run at Ginnie, etc, it was only about 4 hours. We go all the time for that long without doing so. The only difference is that just about is my limit due to extra hydration in prep for diving.

agree with Richard.....odor is caused by bacteria so....

...plus osmosis and immersion diuresis...

I think it still worth exploring. A smell "for the next several days, and no amount of showering seems to help" suggests to me some sort of chemical reaction.

Blackchains later mentions that it happens with several different wetsuits. A bacterial issue should resolve with showering.
