  With a P-Valve you thereby pollute the cave water, which was clean before
and likely is not changed naturally quickly. With a diaper you bring all the
#@$% back out with you and not discharge untreated sewage into clean water
that someone else after you has to dive in. (What do ordinary non-diving
cavers do about sewage disposal, anyway?)
