The piss test ...

Urine should clear or slightly coloured. If it's darkly coloured then you're dehydrated.

Hydration is NOT a good swig on the boat 20mins before entry but the lead up days to diving.

I have made the mistake of getting lashed on a Thursday and then trying to half-heartedly rehydrate on the Friday to get narked on a relatively shallow dive on the Saturday.

I don't get narked if I'm properly hydrated until around 40m and even then it's plenty copable. If I'm dehydrated then 25m can feel really uncomfortable.
