Bad AIR??

[scottf24]

I am new to diving with only about 17 OW dives logged. I have noticed that each time I have surfaced, I spit up brown loogies. I have not noticed anyone else doing it and I don't smoke. Is this normal? It seems to be worse with air than NITROX.

Where are you diving?

Blood? Are you having problems equalizing on the decent, or on the way back up?

I would think that the tanks are clean. Do have a nasal congestion. If the pressure from the second stage if to much it could actually be cleaning out your throat.
I have to think if you where gettingbad air, you would smell the different it would make you sick or dizzy.

I have problems with my right ear on decent... And yes my nose was bleeding slightly on one of my last dives. But I also get the brown or maybe dark red when I dive at the river to 30'. My right ear will clear...I just have to take it slow.

No nasal congestion or bad smells
