Do not dive unless your urine is clear. Drink at least two pints of water
right before jumping in (while suiting up). Begin vigorous rehydration
immediately upon exiting the water and continue hydrating for at least six
hours after a big dive. For runtimes greater than 120 minutes find
some way of ingesting fluids while on deco. For in-water hydration I use a
two quart flexible bladder US issue canteen. I modify the top to accept a
tube for drinking from. Alternately, you may be able to find the gas mask
drinking adapter cap which will readily accept a tube for drinking. I keep
my drinking apparatus in a chum bag on the 50' ring of my deco line. Fill
the canteen with gatorade (not water) or another sports drink and off you
go. - Tony
