P-Valve IRAP

Pee valve's the only way, my opinion, and like Forrest says, just carry a squirt bottle and wash it out!

Excuse me......ah......

All I know now is I, for darn sure, will be keeping a bottle of betadyne in my dive van and will be using it and thoroughly rinsing the tube before and after any future dives - I would not want to go through a similar experience to Mark!

Yet another pre-dive delay for my buddies to deal with... - sorry guys, the possibilities aren't too appealing, needless to say!

I heard you were in the hospital and wanted to stop by. I am glad to hear you came through it all in one piece!

I am amazed that the infection got so bad so quickly. Hope you get to enjoy yourself next time you are down.

Diluted Pinesol is typically the "loop disinfectant" followed with a Listerine solution wash to keep things "fresh" while breathing. I would think that Pinesol solution would be the best cold disinfectant solution to use without doing harm to the materials.

hmmm..... Pinesol in my Pee Pee....

don't know if that sounds pleasurable...

something I do that might help, is I open the bolt and never pee unless I feel the fresh water sensation..
I have always been scared of something like that happening and blowing the catheter off, but never thought that something like that bad of an infection could happen...

so, next time in the water just be happy and pee slowly..
if you lose your reel I can bring it back, but if you lose your thingy in the cave, not bringing it back, sorry..
