The skill of clearing a mask was mastered after having my question about it answered...no matter how you look at it a physical ability has nothing to do with mental capacity.

You go girl! Not that she seems to need any help but,...... sorry WreckWriter mtdivegirl is a student and as such is allowed to ask purely academic questions and to argue points. It is in the job description. That is how you do well in school. If I were going to take the responses here to go argue with some academic folks, I too would want to fully explore it. Therefore, the arogance award goes to.... (drum roll please)....... Anyway, ya'all get the point. Mask clearing? Honestly, that was low!:nono:Originally posted by mtdivegirl
I never professed to know more than any of you. I asked a question. You must feel incredibly insecure about your intelligence to attack on the premise that someone should not ask questions just because they aren't a certified diver?
My question here was not related to my becoming a certified diver, it was about lung over expansion and if it was possible, and if anyone had any first hand experience with it.

That would be true if the diver was unconcious and rising through the water column and providing there would be no physical airway obstructions. Basically an unconcious diver will not embolise. The body would be totally relaxed and airway open so expanding air could vent out.
