Right, swiss and french divers use an external catheter connected to a dump
valve, so there are no more problems with full bags, or hose popping of the bag
etc. The main problem is not the connection to the suit's dumpvalve but the
connection to your dump valve :-). Autoadhesive medical external catheters for
incontinent patients work quite well. For use with non autoadhesive catheters,
double sided tape works quite well, but all this is no insurance against the
catheter ripping of. Holding it, and not letting it just go is necessary.

If there is enough interrest, I shall post an ASCII drawing of the dumpvalve
and it's connection.
