It's not sweat that causes the problem. There is a bit of water often moving through a wetsuit, especially if you give a small tug at your collar. (That's why they call it a 'wetsuit,' vs a 'drysuit' that's used for cold water diving.)
It's hard to take off a wetsuit when you're 110 feet underwater and you have to pee... and everyone has to pee when they jump into the pool.
Fortunately, scuba diving is the one activity where it's OK to pee in your uniform... as long as you are not still in the boat.
Then a couple of tugs at the collar to clean it out and you're good to travel. It's the remaining bacteria that create the problems after a few days. "Sink-the-Stink" is sold in every dive shop just for this purpose.
