Blood from nose

[scubaaaronh]

Thanks scubaaaronh,

I just might do that, I'm getting tired of nose bleeds when the weather turns cold and dry or just dry. Got that a lot in Aus.

Sounds like what i was going through 27 bucks to an ENT and 15 minutes was all it took. Best 27 bucks i have spent as i have been plagued with bloody noses since a toddler. The docs always said i'd grow out of it. Yeah right that didn't happen. Good luck with it.

My dive buddy has had just a little bit blood in his mask following a number of our dives (usually 2nd of theday). He is older (>60). Our instructor an ex-navy EOD diver, told him it wasn't a big deal, that just happens to some people. He was going to ask his doctor about it anyway though.

I have been noticing recently that upon surfacing I have blood in my mask from my nose. I ascend very conservatively, no more than 1 foot/second. There is no pain, it just feels like I have popped a couple of small blood vessels, What could it be?

I don't know if ascent rate affects this, but as a side note realize that 1 foot/second isn't really conservative. That's 60 feet/minute, the max that is usually recommended. 30 or slower is the more common recomendation now and what many dive computers want.

I was told little pockets in the sinuses don't equalize (maybe due to mucus or deformation), so it bleeds a little. I wonder if I'll be so ready to clear ine out of mask in shark-infested waters!!
