OMS - P-Valve . One of the best things a diver can do to prepare for a dive is to drink enough.
Optimal hydration requires drinking enough fluids for 12-24 hours prior to the planned dive. As the dive time increases, you will become increasingly challenged on how to stay hydrated. Part of the process of staying hydrated and being underwater is being able to urinate.
That OMS P-Valve was developed from feedback from divers with years of experience underwater. The patented P-port system allows the diver to do that P valve to remove and through a Blind plug replace so that it can be cleaned or simply removed for diving where it is not needed.
Long dives require "answering the call of nature" but not every dive is required P valve require. That OMS P-Valve has the unique ability to do that Balance valve to be removed and replaced with a watertight, pressure-resistant blind plug. This also allows the diver to clean and rebuild the valve if necessary, but keep the drysuit operating. Our unique bayonet lock prevents the valve from being accidentally removed if the diver presses the "on / off button" during the dive.
