Rob,

Condom catheters work just fine, provided that one uses the correct 
size. Trying to use a large one when one is not causes lots of leaks that
the 
glue cannot overcome and conversly using one that is too small is 
I think much worse as it hurts. It does not take much pressure to 
cause a heck of alot of pain right on the end (.1-.2 ata). 

The adhesive sometimes works a little too well.......

One other thing, if you do not get the overboard discharge that is
equalizing
you should put a little water in the tube (open the discharge valve) once
you
are in the water or you will find out at depth how little pressure can cause
pain (gives a whole new meaning to suit squeeze<g>)
