Mark,

Chill dude.... dry the lot out and use it. If you want to get the water out the bottom of the can, you can lie it flat... tap the central threaded rod with something substantial and pop the end cap off *carefully*.

Wouldn't laying it flat cause the water to run into the 'sorb?
I did it (well two of us did) with onw holding and the other tapping, but that could well have bounced the water up.

I put a trek towel in for the first time yesterday, when packing after diving. I've yet to try it.

A bit does, but it dries out. Personally I just rely on the trek towel, it does the job a treat.

Good old jim coates... comes up with the best ideas. Well.. most of the time...

Sooo… given that the sorb only has 1.5 hours on it what would you do?

Well... I'd get a big ****-off syringe (60cc is good), some plastic tubing (like found on a continence bag system), and suction it out from the top.

Works like a charm!

I used a trcktowel for the first time this weekend.

I only did 2 hours, but the bottome of the cannister is bone dry.

My only concern now is that if I leave it in for a week (shoredive next weekend) it might get a bit whiffy?
