No farting at >30 ft -- Myth?

[Deefstes]

If you off-gas this way, does it affect your deco limits in any way?

OMG! Too funny guys! I seriously enjoyed these tales of flatulence!

My kids' Wario game comes to mind.... where farts are used as weapons lol

Just watch out for upside down floating fish... and stay away

If you do let one go in a drysuit make sure you have your buddy check your exhaust valve upon surfacing.

So the myth of NOT being able to fart past 30 Ft is busted. The next thing is will it effect your buoyancy when you fart?

seen it wish I hadn't

Not good, Retinas OK?

I enjoy the way the bubbles roll up your back in your wetsuit! (or down your legs if you are facing downward!!)

Reminds me of my days as a child in the bathtub!

I once foamed my wetsuit furiously at 45ft. Gas was passed as well.

Some sort of mild food poisoning that hit suddenly.

OK ... more information than I needed with my breakfast ... :no

That's a lot of hot air. This myth ain't nearly busted. A bunch of anecdotal "I was at 40 feet and farted my brains out" quotes hardly qualifies as scientific evidence to squash this one.

I've loaded up on fiber and will be taking up this challenge as a personal quest later today. I'll report back...

Not sure why I'm curious
