OMS P-valve

The OMS P-valve is designed to have the balance valve removed and replaced with a waterproof and pressure proof blank. This also allows the diver to clean and rebuild the valve when necessary but still keep the dry suit in service. Multiple cam features keep the valve from accidently being removed when the diver manipulates the “on-off knob” during the dive.

The patented P-Port system allows the diver to remove and replace the P-Valve so that it can be cleaned, or simply removed for dives where it is not required.

One of the best things a diver can do to be prepared for a dive is to be adequately hydrated. Optimal hydration prep begins 12-24 hours before the planned dive. As your dive time increase you become gradually more challenged with how to remain hydrated. Part of the process of staying hydrated and being comfortable underwater is having the ability to urinate.

Long duration dives require the need to “answer nature's call”, however, every dive may not necessitate a P-Valve.

The OMS P-Valve has the unique ability to have the balance valve removed and replaced with a waterproof pressure-proof blank. This also allows the diver to clean and rebuild the valve when necessary whilst keeping the drysuit in service. The unique bayonet mount keeps the valve from accidentally being removed when the diver manipulates the “on-off knob” during the dive.
