As a diver, have you ever had to sneeze while under water?

Best Answers

I don't recall, but I've certainly blown my nose underwater (I've had lifelong allergies - much better since my teens - but blowing my nose is just part of life). Take off my mask, blow my nose on my glove (absent a handkerchief, yuck), replace the mask and clear it. No big deal. read more

Sure! You want to vent your mask while sneezing and keep your reg in your mouth. Otherwise, it is fine to sneeze (cough, and as another said, even vomit). One side effect of a good sneeze may be some mucus, which you can safely just snort into the water. Not dainty but clears out the air spaces. read more

As you're on a dive, you must constantly be scanning your environment, you dive buddy, the dive master and other divers nearby, how you feel internally, the status of your equipment--mask, BC, tank, fins, exposure suit, computer, the readouts of the computer regarding your nitrogen absorption, ascent rate, remaining air, estimated remaining time, and your emotional state. read more
