Can you drink while underwater? Like bottle water?

Geesh, you must never get cold in that wetsuit either... Cant go an hour without a drink. :blinking:

Inhale instead of exhale during regulator recovery

terrible advice i know, but i've done it too many times

You can eat underwater as well. I believe Gary Gentile mentioned how to do that in his Technical Diving Handbook.

This is kinda aweful but I see:

happy hour with a cold Asahi & sashimi hors d'oeuvre

And a couple of fishy friends hanging out waiting for the next sashimi tray

Just wondering...if you are in the ocean and want a drink of some refreshing tap water..is it hard to drink underwater? with a straw?

There are several 'devices' made for this purpose. Deep Sea Supply markets a little bladder with a tube and a 'bitable' mouthpiece, primarily for use with doubles, but adaptable to any BCD (put it in your pocket). Drinking underwater does require a bit of practice, but is quite doable.

My wife uses a SCUDA and loves it. They are hard to find - I am not sure if you can even get them anymore. I purchased her a 2nd one a couple of years ago for when the one she has wears out.

Many times during a dive, I think about borrowing her reg so I can get a drink

Just thinking, wouldn't the pressure have an impact on the bottle? E.G. pushing out the water as you go deeper due to the higher surrounding water pressure?

Water is nearly incompressible, so the increased pressure doesn't change the volume of the water. More simply put, depth has no effect on a bottle of water that is completely filled with water.

Obviously, if you have an airspace in the bottle, that air will compress.

I remember the first time I saw scuba diving. I was just a kid at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and Agricultural Fair and they a huge tank with two scuba divers in it outside the Modern Living Centre. They had glass bottles of soda pop. They popped the cap off the bottle with the bottle upside down and put their thumb on the opening. Next they took a breath off the regulator, removed their regulator, put the bottle to their mouth (still upside down), blew some air out of their mouth into the bottle. The air rose to the top and pushed the liquid out (I tried it above water and it worked). They swallowed the liquid, replaced their regulator, purged it and breathed normally.

It was really cool. A huge crowd of people was always gathered to watch the two guys drink pop underwater.

I get thirsty.

well, that's reason enough for me.

Well i found a site that still has the SCUDA Click here to go to site SCUDA, these became hard to find due to the use of alcohol during dives. Alot of dive shops wouldn't carry them including the one i work for, because of that risk.
