You ever get thirsty while underwater?

[deep6diver]

Hi from a new guy,

Just thought I would say hi from the great south puget sound area in washington. If you ever get a chance to dive up here don't pass it up.

thanks. Bill

Hello, Deep6!

Welcome from a fellow Washingtonian.

Sometimes I get terribly thirsty on a dive! You're supposed to drink lots of water B-4 diving. But then after a while that water cycles through and kinda takes the fun out of things.

So what's the solution? Ever try taking down a Camelbak? :silly:

Yes

Don't you mean "down there?"
You're right, though - don't pass it up - you are blessed with some great sites and great divers to explore them with.

Yahey, a nice ale goes good in a Scuda, watch out for the stouter microbrews though.

find a plastic water bottle with a "pop up" nipple on it. (the kind that seals itself) ... the thinner the plastic it's made of, the better. .... just remove the reg, pop the bottle in your mouth and take a drink, then re-seal the nipple. ... The thinner the plastic, the easier the bottle will "crush" as you drain the water from it.

I got dry mouth when I started Scuba, but maybe my body adjusted. Breathing that super dry air can dry anyone out, and you certainly lose liquids when you exhale. Work on drinking more non-diuretics before and after diving. You may need to pee more, but virtually everyone goes in their suits while diving.

Welcome to SB. :wavey: Put us in your Favorites and check in often.

air.
