So I just got a full face mask and this thread got me thinking. This lend a whole new meaning to clearing the mask...
So I guess the ONLY option with the full face would be to remove the mask. I am going to get some instruction later this month and will definitely ask the question.
id like to see a video of someone puking in their reg, would be a funny sight im sure.
You have learned why it may not be advisable to go out in rough seas. I have never been seasick, but I have been around it plenty growing up on Oregon Ocean. Usually getting in the water helps.....
When did you dive? We were in the keys for thxgiving and the water was 7-8 ft swells. This must be a rough time of the year?
Sorry I missed you Tracy! Yeah, the seas have kept me on land for the last month or so! It's supposed to be clearing up through the weekend (hope, hope, hope) and I hope to launch my boat on calmer seas! BTW, that's not my shop! I dive out of it a lot since mselenaous works there (Key Largo Dive Center) so I can understand the confusion.
Timing is everything if you're going to follow Tracy's method. The reaction is to try and breathe right after you puke, which is contraindicated when the reg is not in your mouth. SUPPRESS the breathe reflex after you puke and everything will be all right. There is a thread somewhere on here about me diving contaminated air. I just thought it was the flu and since there were a ridiculous number of jellies everywhere, I swam back to the boat on the bottom (only 20 ft deep). Breathe, puke, repeat. It was horrible to actually dry heave under water! To be sure, I used the technique Tracy described. Once on the boat, I felt TONS better.
For anyone passing through, feel free to let me know! Perhaps we can meet for drinks?
