These "comfort zips" are obviously meant to be used ABOVE water.  I
can't believe there is any "comfort" in unzipping a drysuit while
DIVING underwater!  :-)

Birdo, the question is NOT "Go before you go" but "How long can you hold
before you have to go again".  :-)

You guys and gals are obviously missing some FINE POINTS in Cozumel
type of warm-water diving, when you often have nowhere ABOVE water
to "go" for 4 or 5 hours at a time.  This is NOT diving from a luxury
liner.  This is NOT diving from a liveaboard vessel.  This is NOT
diving from an average boat which has a few sq.ft. of space for a
"comfort station".  This is diving on a THIRD WORLD, 6-pak diving
boats in which are minimally equipped (an outboard MOTOR;  a radio;
and tanks and weights)!  :-)

Now ADD this to the not-too-rare cases of a Montezuma's Revenge hitting
you while you're on one of this two-tank dives with nowhere but the
OCEAN underwater "to go".  :-)

When Strike gets back from his galivanting and whizzing junket, we have
to get him to write up a Specialty Course syllabus so that you folks will
be oriented on the diving conditions in the REAL WORLD, and in Cozumel
in particular.  {-)   Specialty in "Whizzing Etiquette and Skills", or
just Whizetiquettes for short?  :-))
