Hi, new here. I had a deep dive (20+m) recently and had a scary incident (enough for me to stop that dive).
As I was descending, when I was sucking in air through my regulator, a small stream of water entered along.
I lipped my mouth piece tighter, even used my hand to position it firmly but this influx of water continued. It's not a lot but enough for u to feel it is streaming into your lungs.
I asked my DM after we surfaced and his answer was my mask had some water and I could be breathing through my nose as well...
I am not ruling that out but I just never had this issue in all my dives (just 20).
So asking here, anyone knows what could be the cause. And if it is equipment issue, how do we check or rectify it? Appreciate any advice or sharing of similar experiences/ solution.
